Well, I'm a character actor, and actually throughout my life I've ... I have relatively speaking played few heroic leads, but I've done it.
The highest happiness is a by-product of worthy work well done. 
I don't really think of Odo as a heroic lead, but that's nice if you do.
I came out of repertory theater, where I worked 50 weeks a year, and I loved working with the people.
The best scene is the last great scene I did.
I just wait for something to present itself, and then I consider it. 
If you do your job properly you usually learn a lot from any role you do. 
I love the fact that it's not only about Star Trek, but about science fiction in general, and science. 
I did a voice for Odo, but people don't recognize you by your voice. 
For me, as I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I became aware of how on an instinctive level I made choices to cover myself. 
I'm never going to retire. 
I really do the conventions now for two reasons.
