Abrams sought after him to play the function of one in every of Starfleet’s so-called crimson shirts. Until you have been Leader Engineer Sir Bernard Law Scott (Marcel Doohan), or the red-skirted Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) in “Star Trek: The Authentic Collection,” wearing a crimson blouse virtually at all times ensured that persona — generally a safety guard — used to be doomed to die. “They introduced me the crimson blouse, Olson,” Grunberg mentioned in an interview with TrekMovie.com.
