Spotting Star Trek actors in other programs

I’m watching an episode of STNG right now where Corbin Bernsen (Arnie Becker from LA Law)appears briefly as another Q. He also appeared in an episode or two of The Glades. He also plays the god Vulcan (hah!) in American Gods, which I haven’t seen yet.

Jennifer Hetrick, who played Vash on STNG and DS9, played Becker’s wife on a few episodes of LA Law.

Alice Krige, the Borg Queen, appeared in Ted Danson’s show Becker as John Becker’s ex-wife.

IIRC, she was also Assistant Director Skinner’s ex-wife on one episode of The X-Files.

Not to mention, Terry Farrell (Jadzia Dax) was a regular on that show.

I also spotted James Cromwell in an episode of STNG; he was of course Zephraim Cochrane in one of the STNG movies. He’s been in loads of other stuff (“That’ll do, pig”).

Sealed Verdict (1948)

John Hoyt, the doctor in* The Cage*, plays a Nazi general convicted at Nuremberg and awaiting execution amid some (not very compelling) doubts about his guilt. His mother is played by Celia Lovsky, who actually looks older than she does in Amok Time as T’Pau nineteen years later.

Eric Bana, who played the vengeful Romulan Nero in the first reboot Star Trek movie opposite Chris Pine, plays a former CIA agent in hiding from his former boss in the pretty good action flick Hanna, which I’m now watching.

He also played a Nazi officer more than once on Hogan’s Heroes.

Arlene “T’Pring” Martel was also on Hogan’s Heroes multiple times, usually as a Resistance fighter (“Tiger”).

Sabrina “Miramanee” Scharf was in an episode the other day as a hot Gestapo interrogator.

The same actress who’s Dr. Finn on The Orville?

Man, I *NEVER *put it together that she’s who played Kasidy Yates…

That’s the one! She also played a scheming First Lady for several seasons of 24.

I didn’t notice that, Heir.

Marj Dusay (“Leader of the Planet of Incredibly Horny Retarded Women”) joins Sabrina Scharf et al. as a guest star on Hogan’s Heroes. (She played a *good *German.)

James B Sikking (“Captain Styles”) as a Gestapo agent on Hogan’s Heroes.

Just saw, in another thread, this hilarious 2014 Cadillac ad starring an actor from, among other things, Star Trek: First Contact:

Just saw the horror classic The Silence of the Lambs (1991), which features these two *ST *actors:

Charles Napier

Dan Butler

Ooops, and one more:

Tracey Walter

Phillip Pine (Col. Green) has an uncredited role in D.O.A. (1949).
And on a vaguely related note…

Robin Williams’s outfit as Mork was a modified version of the jumpsuit worn by Colonel Green in “The Savage Curtain.” The implication is clear: Mork was a war criminal fleeing justice. 

Kinda makes you stop and think…at least for a few microseconds, anyway.

They were both Paramount productions, so that suit is probably still hanging in the Wardrobe Department, just waiting for the next actor to come along.

What freaked me out was that I first saw “The Savage Curtain” in B&W, so I naturally assumed Col Green’s uniform was green. When I finally saw it in color… WTF?!? :eek: :dubious:

Wallace Shawn was recently in an episode of Young Sheldon.

Gene Dynarski (“Ben Childress” in “Mudd’s Women” and “Krodak” in “Mark of Gideon”) as “Izzy Mandelbaum, Jr” in the ***Seinfeld ***episodes “The English Patient” and “The Blood.”

He made an appearance on ST:TNG, too: Quinteros | Memory Alpha | Fandom
