Tuvix Actor Says Controversial Star Trek: Voyager Character "Had to Go"

Tom Wright, who played Tuvix in Star Trek: Voyager, says that his controversial character "had to go." Tuvix was created in Voyager season 2, episode 24 "Tuvix", when a transporter accident merges Lt. Tuvok (Tim Russ) and Neelix (Ethan Phillips) into one being. This places Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) in a moral dilemma because as the captain, Janeway must decide whether to let Tuvix continue his existence as a new entity or use the Doctor's (Robert Picardo) newfound method to separate Tuvix into Tuvok and Neelix. Voyager's format as a show demands Tuvix's separation, of course, but the script makes a strong argument for Tuvix's continued existence.
