ABOUT: Takeaway: To the Stars is George Takei’s deeply personal autobiography, tracing his journey from childhood incarceration in Japanese American internment camps to his rise as Star Trek’s Mr. Sulu, and ultimately to his lifelong commitment to activism and public service. Early Life and Internment Takei opens with his family’s forced removal in 1942 and their transport to the Rohwer War Relocation Center in Arkansas. He recounts four years spent in internment camps—first Rohwer, then the maximum‑security Tule Lake facility after his parents were labeled “disloyals.” Key experiences include: The emotional trauma of confinement behind barbed wire and armed guards. A fourth‑grade incident where a teacher called him “that little Jap boy,” shaping his understanding of prejudice. Working in strawberry fields as a teen, where he confronted Japanese American supervisors who attempted to cheat Mexican laborers—an early spark for his activism. Education and Path to Acting After the camps, the family struggled to rebuild life in Los Angeles. Takei excelled academically, skipped a grade, and initially pursued architecture at UC Berkeley. He later told his parents he wanted to act, transferring to UCLA and graduating with a drama degree. He describes early acting roles, voice‑over work, and the challenges of breaking into Hollywood as an Asian American performer. Star Trek and Professional Life Takei provides a detailed, insider account of his years on Star Trek: His audition and early impressions of Gene Roddenberry. Camaraderie among cast members—with notable tension involving William Shatner, which Takei addresses diplomatically. His pride in Sulu’s expanded role as Captain of the Excelsior in Star Trek VI. He also reflects on the Star Trek films, conventions, and the enduring cultural impact of the franchise.…
