Anson Mount Enjoys Family Walk In Toronto, Shows Off University Pride

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ star Anson Mount recently took to Instagram to share a glimpse into his personal life, posting photos of a family outing in Toronto. The actor shared two images of what appears to be a casual stroll with his family, captioning the post “Family walk! And, yes, I’m rocking the @sewanee_univofthesouth cap in Toronto! #YSR.”

In the photos, Mount can be seen wearing a cap representing his alma mater, the University of the South at Sewanee, commonly known as Sewanee. The actor’s hashtag “#YSR” appears to reference the university’s cheer “Yea Sewanee’s Right!” – showing his continued school pride far from home in Toronto, Canada.

The actor’s presence in Toronto isn’t surprising to fans who follow his work. Toronto serves as a production hub for Paramount+’s ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,’ where Mount stars as Captain Christopher Pike. The series is currently in production for its third season, as indicated by Mount’s recent social media activity.

Earlier this week, Mount shared his enthusiasm about returning to work, posting a smiling selfie with the caption: “Headed to the stages for a readthrough of the next episode. Can you tell I’m happy with it?” The post tagged the official Star Trek accounts and included hashtags for the series.

While Mount is known for keeping his personal life relatively private, his recent posts offer fans a rare look at his family dynamics. In February, he shared a humorous post about his daughter, writing, “My daughter has begun her steal-Mom’s-phone-and-send-random-emojis-to-Dad phase. #kids” alongside screenshots of emoji-filled messages.

Earlier this year, Mount teased the upcoming season with a post captioned “Coming this summer!” alongside promotional material for the show. He also shared a fan-created image suggesting a potential crossover with ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks,’ writing “Gotta happen” and tagging series executive producer Alex Kurtzman.

Mount’s career spans decades in Hollywood, with notable roles in projects like ‘Hell on Wheels,’ ‘The Virtuoso,’ ‘Crossroads,’ ‘Non-Stop,’ ‘Mr. Right,’ and ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.’ However, his portrayal of Captain Pike has particularly resonated with audiences, cementing his place in the Star Trek universe.

As production continues on ‘Strange New Worlds’ in Toronto, Mount appears to be balancing his professional commitments with family time, giving fans occasional glimpses into both aspects of his life through social media.
