Star Trek's resident Boy Scout brings empathy to the Enterprise.
-fronted timeline."I feel so lucky, it's so surreal to me. It was so far afield of anything that I felt I could touch, it wasn't even on my bucket list. So then, when it happened, I was like, 'Oh, of course, this is my dream job.'", but Mount is quick to point out that there's also heart behind it — and fans are just as quick to the draw to trace that emotion to Pike.
"When I was meeting with the writers at the beginning of all of this, I said, 'One of the very few things that I know about Pike is that he had pretty good parents and he had great teachers,'" Mount says. "And so that is something that has lived with him."Mount explains that the camaraderie is apparent when the cameras aren't rolling, too, but brings the focus back on Pike's unique leadership style, saying that he's above all, a mentor.
"Pike very much feels a responsibility to pass on the knowledge. That his job is not just to be the boss, to educate those who are going to be coming after him. His downfall later in life is going to be because he jumped in to save younger officers from death," Mount says. "I also know that when someone comes to his office to speak to him, there is nothing more important than the crew member that's right in front of him. Those are the only things I know.
It's a marked difference from the men and women that have come before him. He lays it all out, putting Pike shoulder-to-shoulder with his fellow leaders, but in a different place when it comes to what's underneath the bravado. He shares that in the beginning, he told the writing team that it was easy to see what differentiated Pike from his peers — and they nailed it.
