An avid Star Trek fan, he named his son (born 2003) after the Star Trek: Deep Space 9 character Dax and often refers to himself as a Klingon. He once claimed during his “Part Troll” tour that his ear-mounted microphone made him resemble “a wizard in a call center” and “a Klingon motivational speaker”.
