While head communications officer Lieutenant Tawny Madison (as played by Gwen DeMarco, as played by Sigourney Weaver) and fellow supporting Thermian Laliari (Missi Pyle) would appear to have been directed to let the breeze in, Wilson remained mum. I sweat a lot, and you don't want to smell inside that suit."
"Those suits were ungodly hot, mine was just filled with sweat. "I just tried to show up and do the walk right, and keep my wig on, and not sweat so much." "That's more information than I was ever given," says Wilson. While the new Steelbook's "Galactopedia" only notes the supporting alien is a "Senior Thermian requisition officer" who "graduated at the top of his class at the Thermani School of Law, Accounting, and Coffee Making," Wilson didn't even get that much to work with for his first film role. Which is even more of a tragedy since his " main scene" in the engine room with Tech Sergeant Chen (as played by Fred Kwan, as played by Tony Shalhoub) got cut from the final print.īut from the sounds of things, there wasn't all that much to know about Lahnk in the first place. So the world missed out not just on the softcore android, but also on learning more about Lahnk. Though Wilson initially landed a much larger role in Dean Parisot's soon-to-be-20-year-old film, one that would have seen him in all his Thermian glory throughout the course of the film, he had the bad good luck of also booking a pilot around the same time, The Expendables, that only allowed him to spend a couple of weeks on the would-be classic film.Īlas, the pilot, which would have found the trained actor playing an "indestructible, television-obsessed android," was "shot like a softcore porn" didn't get picked up, as Wilson tells SYFY WIRE while promoting Galaxy Quest's 20th anniversary Steelbook. But he's there all right, in his first ever film role, filling the not-so-vital shoes of Lahnk, or what he calls a "supporting alien." He's only in a few scenes, and he hadn't yet been fitted for his trademark bangs or pasty white makeup.
With all the mega-stars orbiting Galaxy Quest, the casual fan might not even know that Rainn Wilson is in the movie.
