Though Christopher Lloyd has a long history in genre roles and comedy (his first significant role was Reverend Jim Ignatowski in the legendary sitcom “Taxi” opposite folks like Andy Kaufman and Danny Devito), he’s also a very serious and seasoned theater actor with several dramatic roles on stage and screen under his belt. Perhaps because the role of Kruge provided a chance to combine his stage gravitas with genre work, he continues to hold an affinity for the character and has attended conventions to meet fans.
“It’s a role that I thoroughly enjoyed,” Lloyd said in a 2022 interview with StarTrek.com. “It was fun to play an evil character that has no remorse about anything he does. The conventions are very interesting. They’re a lot of fun. It means a lot to the fans to come and meet the people from the shows and the films that they appreciate. It’s a chance to say hello and to have something signed.”
