We first met Raoul on the Starfleet Academy red carpet, and this conversation gave us the chance to talk about his journey into the Star Trek universe. A Shakespearean actor with a 20-year relationship with Hamlet, Raoul joins the long tradition of stage actors who have brought classical theater roots into Star Trek. We also explore another side of his career \u2014 leading his Maple Blues Award-winning blues band. From Shakespeare to Starfleet, it\u2019s a conversation about storytelling, music, performance, and the many paths that lead artists into the Star Trek universe. \ud83c\udfa7Subscribe and don\u2019t miss a single episode of Season 6! \u2028______________________________________________ Raoul Bhaneja: \ud83d\udcf8 Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/raoulbhaneja\/\u2028 \ud83d\udcd8 Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RaoulBhanejaActorMusician \ud83c\udf10 website: https:\/\/www.raoulbhaneja.com\/\u2028 Hamlet (Solo): https:\/\/www.raoulbhaneja.com\/hamletsolo\/index.php Watch Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on Paramount+ \u2028________________ Associate Producers: Sailor Marj, Karen Dramera, Stephanie Baker &amp;amp; Chris Garis\u2028 Logo: Dena Massenburg\u2028 Music: \u201cPoppin off the Rip\u201d by RAGE (YouTube Audio Library) The SyFy Sistas Podcast \u2014 named 2025 Best All-Around Star Trek Podcast by TrekMovie Support us on Patreon: patreon.com\/syfysistas\u2028 Subscribe, Like, Share: linktr.ee\/syfysistas\u2028 Find us on The Trek Geeks Podcasts Network: trekgeeks.com FanSets \u2014 Our pins have character.
