Who is that man with the jaunty hat and the deep, rich voice, and a humor that knows no bounds?

Oh, of course. You know we all know. It's Robert

Picardo, whose resume is packed full of amazing film and television projects, whose love of space

exploration and science is contagious, and whose friendship means a lot. He and I have played

doctors in a universe with no boundaries.

Over the years, I've grown very fond of him.

He's one of the more creative actors I know.

I have met and think highly of his daughters,

and he is indeed a great dad role model.

Join me today in our conversation

as we float downstream with some fond memories, stories, and, yes, no surprise, even a couple of jokes.

Hope you enjoy part one with my guest Robert Picardo of Investigates, Who Do You Think You Are?

Well, hello, Robert Picardo. How are you?

Hello, Gates McVadden. I am very, very well. Thank you for asking.

It's nice to hear. It's nice to hear your voice. You have one of the more distinctive voices, I would say, in the TREC world.

Thank you. I appreciate that because it's a compliment because I used to say that the three things you needed to be a successful Trek actor was interesting hair, a good voice, and a good butt.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
