   Good luck selling them on that; no money in it.   
      
   But I think Takei would have at least done okay without Trek; he was    
   pretty good in things I saw (and some I have on DVD) shows where Takei    
   put in some dynamic performances, even as cliches.  The only thing I    
   know of that she did before Trek was Gene Roddenberry.
