Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has just fulfilled the life dream of every Trekkie: Being an alien in “Star Trek.”
In the casting credits for “Star Trek Beyond,” the third installment of J.J. Abrams‘ cinematic version of the franchise, Bezos is listed alongside the likes of Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, John Cho and Idris Elba as being a “Starfleet Official.”
In an interview with the Associated Press, director Justin Lin said Bezos’ acting chops didn’t disappoint.
“He was awesome,” Lin said. “He just nailed it every time.”
“It was like a president was visiting, you know?” he added. “He had a big entourage! But it didn’t matter because he was so into it.
