'Star Trek: Picard': Ed Speleers on Playing Jean-Luc's [SPOILER]

Turns out Jack Crusher has a deeper connection to Picard than previously thought. ⚠️ Spoiler ahead! ⤵️ StarTrekPicard StarTrekOnPPlus

series' third and final season, confirming that Jack is in fact not only the son of Dr. Beverly Crusher , but also of Jean-Luc Picard . The signs all pointed to that being the case, from similarities in their mannerisms to their British accents to the amount of time that had passed -- roughly two decades -- since Beverly cut the Enterprise crew off from all communication.

ET: When this first came to you, how much did you know about who you were playing? How secretive were they during the process?I think initially when taping before the role, it was shrouded in a lot of secrecy, although I knew Patrick Stewart's name was put on the email so it didn't take me too long to work out which sci-fi franchise I might be up for. But in terms of the specificity of the role, that didn't become clear until I was offered the part.

We wanted him to have a sort of roguish quality to him, a sort of laugh-in-the-face-of-danger type attitude, but very conscientious of others as well. I did go to town on the research. Of course, I have nostalgic memories ofbeing on at home in the U.K., of coming home from school when I only had four channels... the wind rattling every brick in the house, to the point I thought it was going to fall over. ButWhen we first meet Jack, he's quite brash.

Even though Jack and Picard are estranged in all ways, they're forced to interact due to the circumstances they find themselves in. And it appears Jack holds a lot of animosity toward the Admiral and they have a lot to air out. How does this evolve their relationship, if at all? What challenges or obstacles do they face in the interim?
