There's a few interesting crossovers with various other SF shows. Well, I think they're interesting, anyway.
Nick Tate, who did a guest spot as Captain Dirgo in the TNG episode "Final Mission", was a regular as space pilot Alan Carter in Space: 1999.
Carolyn Seymour appeared in three different TNG episodes, and had a sort of semi-recurring role as the hologram "Mrs Templeton" in Voyager, but is best known to me for playing Abby Grant in the original 1976 series of Survivors on the BBC.
Daphne Ashbrook, the eponymous guest star of the DS9 episode "Melora", evidently has a bit of a thing for doctors, playing Grace Holloway, the Eighth Doctor's companion in the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie.
Linda Thorson, the Cardassian Gul Ocett in the TNG episode "The Chase", is best known as Tara King in The Avengers.
... all I can think of, off the top of my head. There's bound to be more.
Adam Scott, of Parks and Recreation fame, as the Defiant's helm officer in Star Trek: First Contact. Which amuses me since his character on Parks and Recreation is an avid Star Trek/sci-fi fan.
I suspect t0xsick2 was referring to Tim Russ' legendary bit in Spaceballs.
I'll contribute John Rhys-Davies, one of my favorite actors, who played holographic Leonardo DaVinci a couple of times on Voyager. Possibly most famous for Gimli the dwarf and Treebeard the Ent in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Sallah in the Indiana Jones trilogy, and Professor Arturo of Sliders on television.
Robert Duncan McNeil was in TNG before he landed his role as Paris in Voyager
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
*STO*Its mission: To destroy strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations... and then kill them, to boldly annihilate what no one has annihilated before!
I'm surprised no one mentioned Andreas Katsula, he played Tomalok in TNG and G'kar in B5

Merritt Butrick not only played the role as Kirk's son in ST2 and ST3, but also in the TNG episode "Symbiosis" but (imo) is best known for his "totally" awesome role in the 80s TV show Square Pegs - a personal favorite
Interestingly, Judson Scott was also in "Symbiosis" after his role in ST2. This guy has been in A LOT of places and typically in a villainous role, From Walker: Texas Ranger to X-Files and even a part in Babylon 5.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the very obvious cameo role. At least, his role was a cameo before his superior officer got herself killed by a sapient oil slick.....
Michael Dorn - who was best known as Officer Jebediah Turner on the T.V. show Chips from 1979 - 1982. He also played the role of Klingon Defense Attorney in the 1991 movie: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

having just researched it for this thread I was totally surprised (yet not because of the familiarity that bothered me for long enough but not enough to research it) ....
Michelle Forbes played Ro Laren in TNG ... but also Admiral Helena Cain from BSG: Razor!
I *knew* I didn't like Cain for a reason. Yet, she was also bad TRIBBLE.
Michelle also played in several other roles from famous shows like Lost, Walking Dead, and Chicago Fire (among others).
Having recently been schooled about the TNG episode "Chain of Command", I can add:
David Warner played Gul Madred (Picard's torturer) and had roles in ST:V and ST:VI
BUT is prolific in movies, TV and as a voice actor. Some of the more memorable to me is his role in Time Bandits (evil), TRON (Ed Dillinger), Wing Commander (Adm Tolwyn), and the voice of Ra's Al Gul in Batman: The Animated Series.
Diedrich Bader from Drew Carey Show, Napoleon Dynamite and Office Space was a tactical crewman in the TNG episode "The Emissary". It was one of his first roles. He had one line I think...
This was the first episode that K'Ehleyr was introduced. The actress that played her (Suzie Plakson) also played Dr. Selar on TNG and a couple of minor characters in Voyager and Enterprise.

I've never seen her there, she must have been somewhere else.
She wasn't only in BSG:Razor, she also played Adm. Cain in the series.
