Sikking: Spaced Out

"I always wanted to be an astronaut," says James B. Sikking,
who plays the gung-ho Lt. Howard Hunter on Hill Street Blues.
And so, "for fun and enjoyment," Sikking recently did a comedic
cameo as Captain Styles in "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock,"
a Paramount movie scheduled for June release.  Styles is the
martinet at the helm of a sleek new starship, the U.S.S. Excecior,
rival to the famous Enterprise.  Sikking, who moonlights in serious
dramatic roles in two up-
coming TV-movies, "The Jessie Owens Story" (for syndication)
and "First Steps" (CBS), took on "Star Trek" for "a little comic
relief."  Besides, he says, "I always like to do parts where
I can wear a uniform."
