Takei has also produced "Allegiance", a big Broadway musical about the
Japanese interment in America during WWII. Takei's family was one of the
ones pulled from society and put into the American equivalent of
concentration camps, simply because their heritage was Japanese. He talks
about it in his biography. He's also a big activist for gay rights.
