We are proud to bring a short interview we had with Mr. Tim Russ, who portrayed Voyager's Tuvok, and appeared on TNG, DS9 and Generations as well.
Starbase 972 is grateful to Mr. Tim Russ for his time, and to Angela Russ for her help.
Starbase972: Shalom Tim Russ, we're proud to have you with us!
Your colleague and friend Ethan Philips said about you “In some ways, I think, he has the most difficult role on the show because he has such a small band width within which he has to work all the time.” Actors are used to express themselves when their character shows emotions. Even actors who wear masks can do it. You didn’t wear a mask but your character had a serious limitation - it couldn’t express feelings at all. Did it really bother you or did you find other ways to express yourself?
Tim: It did get a little monotonous after the 4 year mark, doing a lot of the same type of dialogue on the bridge for example, and it was not as exciting as an actor no, because you study acting for years to be able to portray emotions... But, by the same token opposite of the "human" characters was also at times fun.
