King Abdullah a Trekkie

star trek

King Abdullah is an acknowledged fan of Star Trek. In 1995, while he was still Prince, he appeared as an extra in the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Investigations.” Abdullah’s role was not given any speaking lines because he was not a member of the Screen Actors Guild.

    lol, wow! That’s interesting!
    It’s the small things in King Abdulla that makes me like him (don’t know anything about him politically though.) I think its very down-to-earth of him.

    Who cares if it is old news? Just because some of you knew it already doesn’t mean it isn’t interesting to the 99.9% of the population who don’t know every miniscule bit of trivia.

    I think that’s awesome!

    maybe he should do jordanians a big favor and abdicate the thrown and become a failier actor!!

  18. 19. NaMmOoR | December 18th, 2006 at 1:30 pm

  19. 21. zahi kawar | March 30th, 2008 at 12:00 am

    What’s wrong with that, I don’t see any discrepancy, King Abdullah is a very humble man

  20. 22. teach | April 11th, 2009 at 9:29 pm

    I’m amazed .

  21. 23. Shli7f | June 23rd, 2009 at 5:42 pm

    Yeah this is cool, its sooo weird though..:)
    Sadly enough, the comments made by people on YouTube are horrific, ignorance is bliss really…they’re fighting over that it wasn’t him and he wouldn’t do that and its a scandal etc…as if what he did was a holy sin, dudes, CHILL, its real and he was havin fun….Kudos for that…i guess we arabs always want any reason to fight each other LOOOL….

    Equalizer, yes i think i saw that show, he was giving a guy from disc a tour of Jordan and the mountains there and the nature etc, was really nice…
