Hologramps to the Next Generation:
An Interview with George Takei
George Takei will be in Houston next weekend for the annual Comicpalooza convention, running May 25–27 at the George R Brown Convention Center. If you’re of a certain age, you may be following the adventures of three young ninjas on Nickelodeon’s show Supah Ninjas. They are advised by one character’s grandfather, a sensei who appears only as a hologram to his young charges. He’s known, endearingly, as Hologramps.
Hologramps is played by George Takei. If you’re of another certain age, you will, of course, think of him as Mr. Sulu, helmsman of the Starship Enterprise. Or maybe you’re his Facebook friend. He gets around.
