My Take
To me Garrett Wang matters beyond the Star Trek: Voyager credit. Playing Ensign Harry Kim put an Asian American face on a starship bridge at a time when that representation still felt scarce, and that quietly mattered to a lot of viewers. What I respect is how he has stayed engaged with fans long after the show ended, leaning into convention life rather than running from a defining role. That takes a generous spirit. Actors who make peace with the one part everyone remembers, and keep giving back to the people who loved it, earn my lasting goodwill.
