Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Hemmer Actor Will Return To The Show
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Hemmer actor, Bruce Horak, will return to the show in the future. The latest Star Trek series follows Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and his crew on the Federation flagship, the USS Enterprise, five years before Captain James T. Kirk takes command. Strange New Worlds is the sixth show introduced to the multi-generational science-fiction franchise following writer-producer Alex Kurtzman's rebranding, which began with Star Trek: Discovery in 2017.
Strange New Worlds episode 9, «All Those Who Wander,» saw the USS Enterprise accept a priority assignment to investigate a missing starship, the USS Peregrine. In the episode, Pike leads a small team down to an icy planet to find that the ship had crashed and its crew were killed by the Gorn, a race of violent and highly intelligent aliens. After juvenile Gorn burst from an infected survivor, the crew come face-to-face with the creatures and one of them spits on Hemmer. Unfortunately for the USS Enterprise's chief engineer, the spit carries the eggs of the Gorn, dooming Hemmer. In a noble act, Hemmer leaps from the USS Peregrine into a deep chasm, killing himself.
