Walter Koenig's theatrical directorial credits in Los Angeles include Hotel Paradiso, Becket, America Hurrah, Matrix, the award-winning Three by Tenn and the stage adaptation of two original Twilight Zone episodes. He has been an actor for four decades and is best remembered for his involvement in the original Star Trek television series, the seven movies that followed, his contribution to the five-year series Babylon 5 and Moontrap.
His more recent theater ventures include a five-year run as Scrooge in the Southern California Thousand Oaks production of A Christmas Carol and in the touring company of David Mamet's Duck Variations. He has taught acting/directing at UCLA, The Sherwood Oaks Experimental Film School, privately, and at the Actors Alley Repertory Theater.
Walter has had two biographical books published, Chekov's Enterprise and Warped Factors, A Neurotic's Guide to the Universe. His novel Buck Alice and the Actor-robot has been republished by Coscom Entertainment. The Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air will be doing a radio adaptation of the work in 2008. He also wrote the three-issue comic book series Raver.
The short film, What If, was written and directed by Mr. Koenig. Walter's work in the role of Pastor Dylan for the independent feature film Mad Cowgirl received uniformly good notices. A deal for limited theatrical release has already been concluded as well as DVD distribution. Mr. Koenig was engaged by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and by the Albuquerque Symphony Orchestra as narrator for their programs of popular music.
The Internet Star Trek Original Series episode "To Serve All My Days," a story about Pavel Chekov in which Walter again played the Russian character, is downloadable at Newvoyages.com. The independent feature film Inalienable for which Walter has written the screenplay, performed a starring role, and is executive producer has been accepted into competition at the Back Lot Film Festival in Culver City, CA. Of Gods and Men, a three-part miniseries in which Walter stars and plays a very different Pavel Chekov, is now available at Renegade-Studios.com.
