Star Trek
Brad William Henke, who plays a character named Uncle Frank in J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek movie, talked with reporters a bit more about his character, a relative of James T. Kirk.

It's been reported that he plays Kirk's uncle in a flashback sequence and that he is abusive to the future captain as a boy. "I play Captain Kirk's alcoholic, abusive uncle when he's a kid," Henke said in a group interview in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Sept. 13. "I treat him very badly, which forces him to go off and do what he does."
