During a July 2025 appearance on the Inside of You podcast, hosted by actor Michael Rosenbaum, Mount, who plays Captain Christopher Pike, discussed criticism from some Star Trek viewers about Holmes being cast as Admiral Robert April. Before Holmes began starring on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the character was only seen in Star Trek: The Animated Series.
Mount replied that the criticism was unacceptable.
In addition, he said he "actually reached out to Adrian when that happened and told him there was never any conversations like that on this set and there never will be."
The actor then said he believes "the culture wars have gotten so bad it's gotten to the point where if you cast a Black actor in anything, somebody's going to scream woke."
"It's so forward thinking, it's so progressive, and it deals with so many issues like using racism with the aliens and things like that. They are a very forward thinking and progressive show and I'm honored to be apart of it, playing Admiral April," said Holmes during the 2022 interview.
