DeLancie was on the Star Trek Continues ep “What Ships Are For”, too. But not as Q.
Nicola Bryant, Peri from Doctor Who, will be on soon, according to their Facebook page.

> Julie Cobb, who plays the yeoman reduced to a plaster block and then crushed by the Kelvans, was the only \*\*Redskirt \*\*killed on _ **TOS** _. She was the daughter of Lee J Cobb, and it was her first professional gig. It’s apparent from her filmography that she’s really gotten around since:

> [James Cromwell - IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000342/?ref_=nmbio_sp_1)
>
> Whaddaya know, he and I attended the same college! 🆒
>
> \*\*\*First Contact \*\*_and **Enterprise**! With the exception of Kelly’s, Nimoy’s, and Doohan’s guest appearances on **TNG** , has any other actor appeared in the same role in more than one iteration of **Star Trek**? (Diana Muldaur doesn’t count, since she played multiple roles.)_
>
> \*I just remembered the Klingons on _ **DS9** _: Campbell, Ansara, Colicos, and Brill. Was there anyone else?
Robert Picardo played Dr. Lewis Zimmerman, the creator of the Emergency Medical Hologram in an episode of _DS9_ and an episode of _Voyager_.
Dwight Schultz played Lt. “Reg” Barclay in _TNG_, the movie _First Contact_, and in six episodes of _Voyager_.
Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis appeared as Riker and Deanna in the final episode of _Enterprise_.

The Voyager episode [Flashback](http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Flashback_(episode))had guest appearances by Sulu and Janice Rand.
In TNG _The Price_, two Ferengi get trapped on the other side of the galaxy. They reappeared in Voyager _False Profits_, played by the same actors.
A Cardassian named Gul Evek (Richard Poe) appeared in TNG, DS9 and the Voyager pilot.
And the same Computer Voice (Majel Barrett) appeared in multiple series.

And Rand was in at least one (two? three?) of the first six motion pictures.

Warren Stephens, TOS _By Any Other Name_, _The Forbidden Planet_, was in a \*Have Gun Will Travel \*episode. I knew the guy, but didn’t know who he was until the credits.

Never paid much attention to Beverly Washburn, who played Lt Galway in “TOS:The Deadly Years”. But saw her recently in an episode of “77 Sunset Strip” and looked at imdb. Good Lord, she goes back to 1950 making films. Including playing a chold in the two-parter/film “Superman and the Mole Men” (was she the one rolling a ball to the mole men)? And after a hiatus in the 1980s and 1990s she is making films again.

I was reminded today of Dick Miller, who played a “sanctuary district” guard in the DS9 two-parter “Past Tense”. He’s been in more stuff than just about anybody.

Just saw LeVar Burton on “The Love Boat” as a blind (!) passenger.

Louise (“Requiem for Methuselah”) Sorel was in the very first episode of Night Gallery (not the pilot movie). She was not blond.

Aside from the actors others mentioned, Picard had one appearance in DS9, and Dr. Bashir had one appearance in TNG.

Here’s William Campbell (“Koloth”/“Trelaine”) in a cheesy old horror flick called “Blood Bath” [https://i2.wp.com/doblu.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bloodbath2541.jpg](https://i2.wp.com/doblu.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bloodbath2541.jpg)

Also called, “Track of the Vampire,” it’s two, two, two flicks in one; there’s a Yugoslavian vampire flick cut in in various spots, which is why Campbell doesn’t seem to be himself at times.

That’s Lori Saunders from _Petticoat Junction_.

I must pay more attention when the petticoats flip over the water tank.

Three (or four, if you count her appearance in STIV with different hair color as “Woman in Cafeteria”), and an episode of ST:VGR:

On the old series “The Lieutenant” there were some Star Trek actors appearing together on the same episode.

I was surprised to see Jonathan Frakes in an old episode of [the Waltons](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/17/44/cd/1744cd7f946512e7f2be20b4efb69e66.jpg). Interestingly, he played a naval officer there too (I believe a Lieutenant. Can’t believe it took him like four centuries to get promoted to Commander!)

Anthony Caruso, Bela Oxmyx from _A Piece of the Action,_ played Cherokee Chief White Bull on the Riverboat episode _The Long Trail_. He was a crook and made a deal with the white guys to sell out his people and met his Just Reward, falling off the riverboat in the clutches of the army colonel who was an asshole.
