From the interview:
"...Enter Patton Oswalt as Doug, a Vulcan with an artistic side. He and Number One share some kind of insane, irresistible chemistry that makes it so they can’t keep their hands off each other. In an interview with Variety, Oswalt spoke about what it was like getting to play against both Peck and Romijn on camera.
“Ethan is such an amazing actor, and Rebecca is just so loose and real in the scenes,” he said. “It was really fun to play off because I am a very stiff, controlled Vulcan, and she is very passionate. So that was really fun.”
Oswalt, who got to keep his Vulcan ears from the set, admits he is not the biggest “Star Trek” fan in the world, but relished the chance to get to appear onscreen in the franchise.
“‘Star Trek’ was always this thing that was on in the background for me,” he said. “I saw ‘Star Wars’ when I was seven, and that kind of fritzed my brain out, so ‘Star Trek’ didn’t really land with me the way that until I saw the movies. It wasn’t until ‘Wrath of Khan’ that I really, really got into it.”
