Not too long ago, Star Trek: Voyager's Robert Beltran, famed for his role as Commader Chakotay, participated in a Reddit AMA where people asked the actor dozens upon dozens of questions about his film career and his upcoming feature (former Kickstarter project) Resilient 3-D, which will begin filming sometime this month.
Star Trek: Voyager is where we know him best: the tribal tattoo above his left eye pronounces his character's Native American heritage; soft flute music accompanying his entrance into rooms reminds us; and phrases like "A-koo-chee-moya" proclaimed whenever he contacts his animal guide makes damn sure that we never forget that he's a Native person.
Fans shared their favorite moments, and probed Beltran about his thoughts on the entire Star Trek Universe, portrayal of stereotypical Native American characters, and his outspoken dissatisfaction with the Voyager series.
