In an interview with, Wang revealed that actress Nancy Hower, who played Samantha Wildman on the show, does a Janeway impression that is “spot-on, cannot-tell-the-difference-between-her-voice-and-the-impersonator” good. But according to the master of impressions himself, there is another Voyager cast member who does an even better impression of Kate Mulgrew’s signature flinty tones. Wang has also spoken out against the actions of producer Rick Berman during the infamous set fire during Voyager’s fifth season.Īnother ‘Voyager’ Star Also Does a Killer JanewayĪngela Weiss/Getty Images for HuluWriter/director Nancy Hower attends Hulu’s TCA Presentation And Cocktail Party at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Jin Beverly Hills, California.Īmong Voyager fans, Wang’s impression of Captain Janeway is legendary. So it was almost like they said, ‘Not only are we not going to let you have what you ask for, we’re gonna rub salt in your wound and make you watch other people do their substandard, not-as-good impersonation of that person,’ and it was killing me.” Now, both of these scenes: Guess who they had in that scene right next to the actor doing their impersonation? Yours truly. And he ends up doing his impersonation of Janeway. And then the other time was when Barclay from TNG was in the mess hall. “Specifically, when the doctor is in Seven of Nine’s body, you remember that? And Seven of Nine has to basically impersonate The Doctor. “What was so frustrating was that through the seven years, there’s a few times that actors on Voyager got to basically impersonate other characters,” Wang recounted. Wang went on to state that he felt like he was getting “salt in the wound” over the years when he saw other Voyager actors getting chances to show off their skills as impressionists, while he was not given the same chance. And Ensign Kim gets up and does his impersonation as The Doctor, of Janeway, of whoever.”
“Let us have a B-storyline where the crew has a ship-wide talent show. “Listen guys, my strength is my impersonations, my ability to do accents and presentations,” Wang recalled saying to the show’s writers. In the interview, he revealed that he wanted to use his skill at impressions more often on screen, but was never given the chance by the show’s writing staff. Wang gave an interview to where he talked about storylines or acting challenges he wished he could have pursued during the years he worked on Star Trek: Voyager.

Kate Mulgrew joked in an interview with that Ensign Kim had gotten a lot of mileage out of that one impression. It appears, in the case of Wang’s impression of Mulgrew, that the impressions are well-meant and done with a lot of love. As Chakotay notes, “Ensign Hickman in Astrophysics does a passable Janeway.” In fact, in that very episode, Chakotay confirms that there are Voyager crew members who do impressions of their own captain. In our roundup of great Picard impressions, we noted that multiple Trek actors have “done a Picard” over the years, and that Janeway herself does an in-universe homage to Picard’s unique cadence in the Voyager episode Scorpion. Star Trek actors doing impressions of other Star Trek actors is a time-honored tradition among cast members.
