[n2doc]

BuzzFeed shadowed the Star Trek star, the subject of the new feature documentary To Be Takei, as he and husband Brad Takei braved the wilds of the Sundance Film Festival.

This is George Takei. He’s best known, of course, as Sulu from Star Trek.

Takei also became a major LGBT rights activist after publicly coming out in 2005. He’s a regular presence on The Howard Stern Show, speaks often about his childhood spent in a Japanese-American internment camp during World War II, and has amassed a massive social media presence on Facebook and Twitter. He is 77 years old.


Takei spent the past five days at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, to promote the feature documentary To Be Takei, which chronicles his exceptional American life.
