‘Star Trek’: Scott Bakula Reveals Why ‘Enterprise’ Stands out From His Other Roles

Twenty-five years after Enterprise first launched, Scott Bakula remains both reflective and grounded about his place in Star Trek‘s 60-year legacy. Bakula’s Capt. Jonathan Archer helped lay the groundwork for everything that followed chronologically, even if the series itself took time to find an audience. The ship he commanded was the first one designated the Enterprise by Starfleet. (The action took place over 100 years before James T. Kirk explored space and captained his own version of the ship.)
