When watching SF shows I often see actors who have been on other SF shows.
I’m talking about unrelated shows, not a SG1/Atlantis crossover.
For example:
Lexa Doig was on Adromeda and Stargate : SG1
and the obvious Ben Bowder and Claudia Black in Farscape and SG1
Jewel Stait was on Firefly and Stargate Atlantis (as a one-off and as different character as a recurring role*)
Christopher judge starts in SG1 and was on Andromeda
Conner Trinear(sp?) was on Enterprise and Atlantis
Jolene Blalock was on Enterprise and SG1
If you consider “Lost” SF, Mira Furlan is in that and Babylon 5
There was actor who was on B5 and DS9 at the same time
Any others? Anybody on 3 unrelated properties? Regular / recurring roles preferred, but one-offs allowed

Half the cast of Star Trek:THG did voices for the Gargoyles cartoon show (which had robots and was therefore Sci-Fi, the occasional wizard notwithstanding).
And was also a semi-regular in the first season of “Earth: Final Conflict,” which since it was her show based on one of Gene’s old scripts, is not that surprising.
If one stretches and counts “Wonderfalls” then Jewel Staite appeared in several episodes of that as well, as the cute bartender’s hag of a wife.
And “Enterprise” and ST:Voyager. (as different characters, so doesn’t vioalte the crossover prohibition) If you add fantasy he was in “Angel” and “Charmed”
Stretching the definition of SF just a little, perhaps, but…
Bruce Campbell had a recurring role in Hercules and Xena (as Autolycus), played Brisco on The Adventures of Brisco County, jr, did a voice in two episodes of Megas XLR (a character named Magnanimous, clearly based on him), and appeared in several episodes of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. (I think that’s all for his TV SF work.)
Since EW counts Quantum Leap in its top 25 scifi list, I’ll include Scott Bakula. God, is that everyone from Enterprise yet? Dominic Keating was a guest vamp on Buffy once
Not quite. He was in the “Terms of Endearment” episode of The X-Files.
Another X-Files guest star (in “Travelers” and “Agua Mala”) was Darren McGavin, who earlier starred in the short-lived original “Kolchak: The Night Stalker.”
And watching the episode “Demons” I thought the detective who arrested Mulder sounded familiar. It was Jay Acovone, who had been Joe the assistant DA (Catherine’s boss) in Beauty and the Beast (anyone else remember that?). The two shows also shared Howard Gordon as a producer and writer.
“The Secret Room” episode of the cartoon The Secret Show has Tom Baker (the fourth Doctor Who) as a guest voice.
Matt Frewer was in Max Headroom and then guest starred in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He also showed up in Eerie, Indiana and had a recurring part in Eureka.
