Sawandi Wilson was the final new character introduced in "Star Trek: Discovery," arriving in the last act of the series finale "Life, Itself." Playing Michael Burnham's son, Sawandi was the first to don a completely new Starfleet uniform, and piloted his Admiral mom to the NCC-1031 for her final mission.We chat with Sawandi about his time on the set of Disco, working with Soneqhua Martin-Green and David Ajala, and what he knew about this very secretive conclusion to the Herald of New Star Trek shows. Plus, Sawandi tells us about some of his other work on film and screen, like "Casa de Flores" and "Harlem," his roots in breaking (as in break dancing) and the ESPN documentary that showcased his skills, and what the future holds for him.Please subscribe to our brand new YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@trekuntold .There, you will see all the old episodes of this show, as well as new episodes and all of our other content, including shorts and some other fun things planned for the future.Visit my Amazon shop to check out tons of Trek products andother things I enjoy - https://www.amazon.com/shop/thefightnerd View the Teespring store for Trek Untold gear & apparel- https://my-store-9204078.creator-spring.com Support Trek Untold by becoming a Patreon at Patreon.com/TrekUntold.Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a rating if you like us!Follow Trek Untold on Social MediaInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/trekuntoldTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/trekuntoldFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/trekuntoldFollow Nerd News Today on Social MediaTwitter:  Twitter.com/NerdNews2Day Instagram: Instagram.com/NerdNewsToday Facebook: Facebook.com/NerdNewsTodayTrek Untold is sponsored by Treksphere.com, powered by the RAGE Works Podcast Network, and affiliated with Nerd News Today.
