Robert Picardo from ST Voyager is in the Stargate series. Conner Trineer, Trip from Star Trek Enterprise played a wraith (bad alien) in several episodes of Stargate Atlantis. A very different character, a good actor. ---

Here’s an obscure one. Just saw [Lawrence H. Styles | Memory Alpha | Fandom](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Lawrence_H._Styles) \_ James Sikking Of Star Trek 3 in a dumb 10 minute segment of a Night Gallery episode as a reporter. I don’t think he even had any lines ---

Thought I’d branch out from watching Youtube Dragnet episodes and watch a Felony Squad episode. Boy was that a big mistake. Sooooo bad. And made little sense. Especially compared to a quality show like Dragnet Anyway it had Steve Inhat (Garth of Izar) and Angelique Pettyjohn (Shahna) Both died way too young. Inhat at 37 and Pettyjohn at 48. ---
