 Peters described how he cast so many well-known scifi actors in //Prelude to Axanar//, starting with Richard Hatch (//Battlestar Galactica//), who is Peters' acting coach. Hatch introduced him to J.G. Hertzler (//Star Trek: Deep Space Nine//), whom Peters described as "an easy get." Successful meetings later brought Kate Vernon (//Battlestar Galactica//) and Tony Todd (//Star Trek: Deep Space Nine//) aboard.  Peters described how he cast so many well-known scifi actors in //Prelude to Axanar//, starting with Richard Hatch (//Battlestar Galactica//), who is Peters' acting coach.
