George Takei Tries

Out actor George Takei heads back to outer space this weekend when the Star Trek alum guest-stars in an episode of The Disney Channel series The Suite Life on Deck.

The show follows two brothers who live on a ship that travels the world. Takei guest-stars as the grandfather of London, one of the main characters, played by Brenda Song.

Check out a preview of the episode below, in which Takei is clearly balancing his Trekkie fan base with his gay following.
