Takei once talked to the Tribune valley (As prescribed by MetV), and he expressed a note of ambivalence towards his involvement in the film Johnon Wayne, mostly because he kept him from his regular work on Star Trek. As he said:

"I have mixed feelings for" green berets ". We had a break during "old Trek" and this offer came, so I thought I would go out and make "green berets". "Starwater paths". But because of the delay, I missed the whole second season of Star Trek. So I'm sorry for that. "

Takei mentioned elsewhere that many "green berets" is improvised Due to delays in the shooting, but that Wayne was also friendly enough for him.
