Star Trek’s Forgotten Hero
This week on Trek Tuesday, we’re joined by actor Ike Eisenmann, a performer whose career spans beloved Disney classics and one of the most emotionally charged moments in Star Trek cinema.
Most fans first discovered Ike as Tony in Escape to Witch Mountain and its sequel Return to Witch Mountain, where he shared the screen with legends like Christopher Lee and Bette Davis. In this episode, Ike opens up about what it was really like working with these iconic performers—offering candid, funny, and heartfelt stories from the set.
But to Star Trek fans, Ike holds a special place in Federation history.
He is Peter Preston, Scotty’s nephew and the young engineering cadet whose sacrifice in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan remains one of the film’s most powerful emotional beats. His performance helped shape the tone of the movie’s final act, and his character continues to resonate with fans decades later.
And now, Peter Preston has taken on a new life: 🖖 He’s officially an action figure, thanks to the team at Nacelle.
