"Blu del Barrio simply wanted to find a way the cast of Star Trek:
Discovery
 could spend time together, again.

COVID-19 had changed the process of filming television, much like every
other aspect of the world, and the once tight-knit group of actors felt
the strain of their months-long separation from friends and coworkers.
On a whim, del Barrio mentioned Dungeons & Dragons.

“I was like [nasally voice] ‘We can play D&D’ but we don’t have a DM. I
don’t know how that’s gonna work,” del Barrio, who plays Adira Tal, recalls.

Surprisingly, several other members enthusiastically responded. Mary
Wiseman, who plays Ensign Sylvia Tilly, immediately recommended her
spouse and Ryn actor Noah Averbach-Katz to lead their game. People were
willing but, as is often the case with a nascent tabletop group,
planning that first session proved a large hurdle until actor Anthony
Rapp stepped up."

This is adorable.

Share and enjoy,
