For anyone who has been a fan of Star Trek Tim Allen stars as Jason Nesmith, the actor who played Quincy Taggart, a Kirk-like starship captain on an early-'80s space adventure show called Galaxy Quest. Rounding out the cast was Tech Sergeant Chen played by Freddie Kwan (Tony Shalhoub). Wunderkind pilot Laredo is played by Tommy Webber (played by Daryl "Chill" Mitchell as an adult). Buxom bombshell Tawny Madison is played by Gwen DeMarco (Sigourney Weaver). Token alien crew member Dr. Lazarus is played by pompous Shakespearean actor Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman). The equivalent of a Star Trek The crew of the NSEA Protector makes group appearances at conventions (sans Guy, of course), knowing that their early '80s success may have been the zenith of their careers. Nesmith embraces this fate, knowing a lot about the show and the trivia pertaining to it. He can answer the nerds who confront him about what happened in which episode. The rest of the cast accept their fate begrudgingly, entertaining little if any banter with the fans. When Jason is approached by what he assumes to be fans, he accepts an invitation to help them out. He thinks it's an acting gig, but in reality, it's an actual trip into space. The beings who approach him are actually Thermians, aliens who've fashioned their existence after the Galaxy Quest television show, under the impression that the show was a form of historical record and the actors were the actual crew of a heroic team. They need help with some intergalactic bullies who have all but destroyed their race. The crew of the Protector try their best to do right by the Thermians, against difficult odds. The icing on the cake that is Galaxy Quest Galaxy Quest Extra features include making-of featurettes and in-depth interviews with the makers of the film and cast, a special effects featurette, and deleted scenes.
