   Trek's Phlox Bares All   
      
   Star Trek: Enterprise star John Billingsley told SCI FI Wire that his   
   character, Dr. Phlox, takes center stage in the upcoming Feb. 18   
   episode "Doctor's Orders"—and that he does so in the buff. "We have to   
   traverse a very dangerous part of space if we're to get to the Xindi   
   weapon in time," Billingsley said in an interview at UPN's winter   
   press tour in Hollywood. "And in that amazing way I have of somehow   
   knowing this s--t, I say, 'Well, if we do this, all of the humans are   
   going to be driven mad. I as a Dinobulan won't be driven mad.' So my   
   solution is let's put everyone in a comatose state, and I'll run the   
   ship by myself. And I do that."   
      
   Billingsley added that viewers will see a new side to the doctor. "I   
   have to run the whole ship," he said. "And I walk around naked—sweeps   
   week, baby!—and it turns out I was a little optimistic, and this weird   
   section of space is actually kind of driving me mad, too. So now I'm   
   mad, all by myself, on the ship. Mad, naked and all by myself on the   
   ship."   
      
   A UPN spokesman told SCI FI Wire that Billingsley ended up shooting   
   the episode in his birthday suit in part because producers called his   
   bluff. For his part, Billingsley said that he had ideas for his   
   character's alien anatomy. "In the nude scene, I was hoping ... you   
   know, it would be like, I walk in the room, and a flower pot gets   
   knocked over all the way [on the other side]. ... They didn't go for   
   that, darn it [laughs]." Enterprise airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
