Paul Giamatti has been teasing his role as a villainous character in 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy', with hints suggesting he's playing a pirate-like figure who's "very mean to the kids". According to an interview at CCXP in Brazil, Giamatti describes Nus Braka as having a "finger in every kind of criminal activity", making him a smuggler and trafficker. He also reveals that his character is a lowlife who thinks he's a somebody, but beneath his clowning facade lies a psychopath.
Giamatti portrays Braka as someone who envies the kids around him, feeling like an outcast who wishes for support and niceness. However, this envy turns into hatred, making him a formidable villain in the film. With this characterization, it seems Giamatti is ready to bring some complexity and depth to his role as Nus Braka in 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy'.
