[QUOTE=Kid\_A]  
Were you a Romulan who played in the NBA?  
[/QUOTE]

Hmmm. James Worthy is the only NBA player I can think of who appeared in any incarnation of _Star Trek_, and he played a Klingon. Ask a DQ.

And I’m not Gene Rayburn’s partner (Jack Lescoulie), Andy Kaufman’s rival (wrestler Jerry Lawler), or a pro-skateboarder-turned-actor (Jason Lee).

[/QUOTE]

All right, this is the last “either/or” DQ I’ll answer. Henceforth, a question like this is worth two DQs.

**astorian** , there was already a question about Jason Lee (Buddy/Syndrome from _The Incredibles_), and no, I’m not him.

JL:

- is not alive  
[omitted stuff in the middle]
- is in a Hugo Award-winning novel or story
- first appeared in 1958-98 inclusive
- does not appear in a Nebula Award-winning novel or story
