Rockwell, who played walking, whining redshirt Guy Fleegman in Dean Parisot’s film, recently appeared on the Nerdist podcast (via ScreenCrush) and revealed this news:
The original Galaxy Quest followed a group of washed-up actors, famous only for their roles on a ’70s science fiction television series, who get pulled into an actual interstellar way between two alien races. On the surface, it was a parody of Star Trek and Star Trek fandom, but in execution, it was a brilliantly executed blend of actual science fiction and character-driven comedy. The blend of legit genre elements and hilarious gags recalls Ghostbusters. It was only a minor hit 17 years ago, but it’s widely regarded to be a classic now, especially by Star Trek aficionados.
