Would you say that you’re officially retired from acting and, if so, why?įarrell: Well, I guess I am officially retired from acting and I’d say that’s because my focus is on my family. It’s twice a week and I have a nice little class. I have my 200 hours in and I teach at our local rec center. Dax is always by their side, which is pretty cool.įarrell: I’m a registered yoga teacher with the Yoga Alliance. Dax plays with everyone – Sonic and Buzz Lightyear. Well, see, now the hard thing is I’ll be watching a show where I’m with Worf ( Michael Dorn) and I’ll be like, “Huuuuuuugghhhh! Do I kiss Michael in this episode? Do I kiss someone else?” My character wasn’t predictable enough for me to go, “Yeah, that’ll be an easy episode to get through with my seven-year-old!” But he has seen “Trials and Tribble-ations.” So that’s the one episode he’s seen so far. So it was an unfortunate situation all the way around.Īre you at the stage now, though, where you can sit down with your son Max and watch episodes of the show?įarrell: Yes. They were angry because I wasn’t doing what they wanted me to do or expected me to do. I personally just needed a mental break and, unfortunately, I wasn’t mature enough to maybe present it in the way of saying, “Could I please be a recurring character?” I’m sure at that point, too, for Rick Berman and those people, it was all or nothing. Just the routine of it all, I needed a break. I didn’t because the person replacing me, I didn’t want to not like them or be jealous, because I knew I would be. It was really hard for me.Īfter you left, did you watch DS9 at all?įarrell: No.

You want to feel like you have your life again, and I’d definitely put my life on hold because I didn’t know how to balance a schedule constantly changing all the time. When you’re number five (on the call sheet), you’re waiting for that schedule to arrive and it becomes frustrating. I’m sure a lot of the other actors feel this way, too.
I was tired of waking up at four in the morning. I would have been so happy if they just would have let me be a recurring (character) the final season, so I didn’t have to be in every episode.
A lot of fans were surprised that you didn’t return as Dax in some way, shape or form in the final season of DS9.
