But I was always proud of him.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven before Star Trek, I’d see him popping up in bit roles on some of my favorite TV shows like \u003cem\u003eGet Smart\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSea Hunt\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Man From U.N.C.L.E\u003c\/em\u003e. And then one night he brought home Polaroid photos of himself in makeup and wardrobe for a pilot he was working on. It was December 1964 and nobody had heard of \u003cem\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/em\u003e. Still, the eight-year-old me had watched enough \u003cem\u003eOuter Limits\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMy Favorite Martian\u003c\/em\u003e to understand exactly what I was looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eThe character of Spock and its popularity happened quickly, and soon the fan magazines were writing about dad’s personal life, characterizing us as a “close family.” But the awkwardness that defined our early relationship blossomed into conflict, sometimes smoldering, sometimes open and intense. There were occasional flashes of warmth between the arguments and hurt feelings—even something akin to love—especially when we were celebrating my father’s many successes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eThe rest of the time, things between us were often strained. My resentment towards my father kept building through the years until we were estranged. I wanted things to be different for my children. I wanted to be the father I never had, so I did all the things dads are supposed to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eAnd then I got Dad’s letter. That marked a turning point in our lives, a moment that cleared the way for a new relationship between us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dreamscape","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49397531607344,"sku":"BDimeg","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49397531640112,"sku":"ZEimeg","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49397531738416,"sku":"ZMimeg","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/535946-imeg-Square.jpg?v=1735475870","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-imeg","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
