According to court documents obtained exclusively by The Blast, actor James Frain has filed for divorce from his wife, Marta Cunningham, after nineteen years together. The couple married in 2004 and share two children: a son named Ezra and a daughter named Sukari.
The “Star Trek: Discovery” cast cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. Although the former couple have been married for nineteen years, Frain claims they separated in January this year.

Although their son is eighteen and still in high school, their daughter is still a minor, so there is still the subject of child support to consider. In addition to spousal support, Frain asked the judge for “any additional relief that this Court may deem just.”
In terms of dividing the separate property, court documents state that Frain “has not ascertained all assets and debts of the separate property. Therefore, the Petitioner will, if and when appropriate, seek leave to amend once ascertained.” The same goes for community property, with Frain noting that he “has not ascertained all community and quasi-community assets and debts.”
James Frain Reveals Challenges of Playing Ambassador Sarek on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’

The 54-year-old actor has a recurring role as Sarek on “Star Trek: Discovery.” In an interview with Variety, James Frain revealed that it was a “challenge” for him to play Vulcan and hide his emotions.
“When I dig into the canon and the background of the characters, the idea of the Vulcans — there’s kind of an origin story,” he explained. “Apparently, they are a very passionate and expressive species, and they had a terrible nuclear war on their planet and they concluded that the war happened because of an out-of-control feeling that needed to be suppressed and managed.”

“They built a culture based on logic so that things like that cannot happen again. So in their prehistory, there was this massive oppression,” he continued. “I think that’s very interesting, how it can be passed down from generation to generation. However, for all Vulcans there is a conflict between something internal that must be denied and a truly strict code of conduct.”
James Frain also said that it’s “tricky” trying to navigate the extremes of being too robotic or too emotional. “Too many are boring. Too many others don’t fit. It’s exciting to play,” he said. “It was very challenging. I never know if I’m doing it right. But that’s always the question in every scene, every beat — am I calibrating this right?”

Sarek is a character who has appeared in other versions of “Star Trek.” Frain acknowledged that Mark Lenard “did most of Sarek” and described the Vulcan as “a lovable character” when he was first introduced.
“I had to respect that,” Frain said. “I feel like I have to set up something that can lead to where he ends up [original] series. I don’t want to be locked in an imitation. I don’t think that helps.”
