Having only met George Takei the once, last time he was in Sydney, I found him to be a total charmer and exactly the kind of guy you’d love to meet at a cocktail party. No matter what planet it was held on.

These clips should give you something to talk about with him on top of his constant media presence for the last 50 years, alleged difficulties with William Shatner, support of same sex marriage worldwide, reality TV show and his outspoken opinions on the new Sulu character in Star Trek.

We’ll be taking the Planet maynard podcast to George Takei’s shows in Sydney, so if you see us there don’t be shy. George won’t be.

All ahead full stop!

George Takei has had to postpone his Australian visit due to him getting actual movie work in July.
