The Captains Page #4

and I got the lead in ''Our Town''

at the American Shakespeare

festival...

- Wow, at the same time?

- Same time,

- How old were you?

- 1 8, 1 9,

So they recognized your talent

right from the very beginning,

Yeah, they did, yes,

Poker face,

Shut up,

- Scott Bakula,

- Bill Shatner,

I have admired you

for so long,

- You are my hero,

- Are you kidding me?

No, no, no, no, I'm not

kidding, because...

Vice versa,

Well, I appreciate that,

but the truth of the matter is,

you're such a hell of an actor,

but you're a singer,

- I am a singer, that is true,

- Yeah,

Where... Do you think of yourself

as a singer first?

Yeah, that's where I started,

- I know, musical theater,

- That's right,

- Did you study?

- Of course, I still study,

- Voice?

- Every week,

You take voice lessons

every week?

Yes, every week,

Give me a...

give me a thing?

- What do you...

- A voice exercise,

A voice... an exercise?

He, he, he, he, hey.

Jeez, that's wild,

I can't sing,

but I can ride a horse,

- Let's hear a little,

- Let's go...

- Let's hear a little singing,

- No,

- I sang yesterday,

- I can teach you today,

- How long do we have?

- Really?

We've got...

we've got 'til 1:30

and then you

have to go,

Come on over here,

I'm... I'm, uh...

Here's the... I'll go wherever

Calvin takes me,

but when you say,

''Come on over here...''

- No, no, no, press your legs,

- Yes?

- Press your legs against him...

- Yes,

- Against her very slightly...

- Yes,

- and she'll go forward,

- Yes,

And then, if you

wanna go to your left,

you just point it

to the left,

Yes,

- A little leg pressure,

- Yes,

All right,

That's good, guys,

Iet's dismount...

Let's stop here,

Okay,

That was...

that was fabulous,

Now here's what I want to do...

Scott Bakula played

Captain Jonathan Archer

on ''Star Trek:
Enterprise,''

and was arguably

the first captain,

as his series was set before

the original series,

even though it was

the last to be produced,

You got all that?

Scott has been a fixture on

television for decades

and like Avery,

is an accomplished singer,

No... my mother's very musical,

my dad's very musicaI

and I have become...

What does that mean,

''very musical''?

Well, my dad

was a concert pianist,

so I had pianos in my house

my whole life

and that's a huge deal,

And did they say, sing?

They didn't say sing,

but my mom was a singer,

So there was always

music around,

and my parents, 'cause

my dad went to Princeton,

he used to go to New York

when he was at school,

so he developed

this love of New York shows

and so when I was growing up

in the '60s,

my parents would

disappear for a few days,
