Inspired somewhat by the long running Spotting Star Trek actors thread. I’m watching a movie on TV that features actors who had leading parts in three of the six (live action) Star Trek series. \* Are there any movies that can do better than that? Rules: Actors must have leading parts in the Star Trek series, but their parts in the movie can be small. \*I’ll let you guess which movie, as an easy teaser to the main question. ---

Nm. I misread the rules. ---

Can we count \*Star Trek: Generations \*for giving us William Shatner from TOS, plus Jonathan Frakes from TNG, plus Michael Dorn from DS9, plus Tim Russ from VOY? (As well as, a few months from now, Patrick Stewart from STAR TREK: PICARD?) ---

I messed up the rules a bit, since one of the actors in the movie I was watching was not a recurring character in a Star Trek series, but merely a major character in one episode, so please open up the rules to that extent. No “Crewman #3” types, but people who appeared in a major role in one episode will count. Sorry about that. ---

Actually, that’s pretty good. I forgot about Tim Russ in that movie. ---

Well, _Animator_ and _Re-animator_ starred Jeffrey Combs, who played a whole lot of roles in _DS9_, _Enterprise_ and _Voyager_. ---

_Pretty Maids All in a Row_ (1971) co-stars James Doohan (_TOS_, _NG_, a half-dozen movies, the animated series and assorted lesser media spin-offs), William Campbell (_TOS_, _DS9_) and Dawn Roddenberry (briefly in _TOS_). The movie’s screenplay was written by Gene Roddenberry. ---

Oh, well, if we count Star Trek episodes and films, there’s _Trials And Tribbleations_ with: - Spock (Original pilot) - Checkov (TOS) - Kirk (TAS) - Worf (TNG) - Dax (DS9) - Sulu (VOY guest star) I think we should exclude anything that’s directly Star Trek related. After a bit of searching I found [The Pagemaster](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110763/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast), with the voices of Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart + Whoopi Goldberg, Robert Picardo and Chrisopher Lloyd. That’s stars from three series and a movie. ---

Best I can do is Loaded Weapon Shatner (TOS) Doohan (TOS, TNG) Charles Napier (TOS) Whoopi Goldberg (TNG) F Murray Abraham (TNG movie) ---

Any movie featuring John DeLancie and Clint Howard would cover a lot of ground. ---
