George Takei is best known for his portrayal of Hikaru Sulu in the acclaimed television and film series Star Trek. He starred in Six Star Trek feature films.
But those who say there are no second acts in American life don’t know George Takei. For the young boy who spent his childhood in an American concentration camp for persons of Japanese ancestry, life has offered not just a second act, but a third, fourth and fifth — with many, one hopes, still to come. His unique journey through pop culture and politics has made him not just a witness, but a prime mover during some of the most critical moments in our history.
