Raoul Bhaneja
The SyFy Sistas sit down with Raoul Bhaneja, who plays Chancellor Kelric on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. We first met Raoul on the Starfleet Academy red carpet, and this conversation gave us the chance to talk about his journey into the Star Trek universe. A Shakespearean actor with a 20-year relationship with Hamlet, Raoul joins the long tradition of stage actors who have brought classical theater roots into Star Trek. We also explore another side of his career — leading his Maple Blues Award-winning blues band. From Shakespeare to Starfleet, it's a conversation about storytelling, music, performance, and the many paths that lead artists into the Star Trek universe.
