Star Trek Actors.

So I was watching the original Total Recall (with Arnold Schwarzenegger) and I noticed that the police captain on Mars was played by Mark Alaimo (Gul Dukat). I also noticed that the robotic taxi driver was voiced by Robert Picardo (The Doctor EMH). I also saw the woman who plays Sonya Gomez.

What other Trek Actors have been in other movies?

BTW I saw Patrick Steuart in Star Trek First Contact:P.

    Marc Alaimo was also in "Seems Like Old Times" with Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn and Charles Groddin. Good comedy movie from the 80's.

    He played BG, one of the kidnapper/robbers if I remember correctly.

    :)

    Robert Picardo was the voice (and also I think in the suit) of wak in the movie explorers, the first Ethan Hawke movie!

    The space ship called the Thunder Road built out of a tilt a whirl...

    Colm Meaney has a prominent, but secondary role in Far and Away.

    Gates McFadden plays Jack Ryan's wife in The Hunt for Red October.

    DeForest Kelly was an Earp in one of the great westerns, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Which is ironic since he was back at the "O.K. Corral" facing off against the "Earps" for the "Spectre of the Gun" episode of Star Trek.

    Alexander Siddig shows up in Vertical Limit and the dragon-infested Reign of Fire. (I'm still waiting for the day someone makes a movie with Siddig and James Callis playing brothers, or characters in a case of mistaken identity)

    Rene Auberjonois seems to pop up all over, but some notable performances were in The Little Mermaid (voice of Chef Louis), and The Patriot. He also had a voice in the animated Cats Can't Dance which had Scott Bakula in the lead role.

    How about a new game - what Star Trek alumnus has appeared in the most embarrassing movie?

    Robert Picardo had a prominent role in Megashark vs. Crocosaurus

    I win. :cool:

    Sorry, but no, being in that just wins Robert Picardo more nerd cred.

    Patrick Stewart was in such forgettable 90's gems as Safe House and Masterminds.

    Brent Spiner was in Dana Carvey's career kiss of death, The Master of Disguise.

    But the winner, I think, is Kate Mulgrew somehow doing the narration to this.

    Tim Russ didn't find **** in the desert.

    When TNG came out, Patrick Stewart in my eyes was "That dude from Dune & Excalibur."

    William Shatner's been in a lot of stuff outside Trek. I still remember his early-mid 80s cop TV show "T.J. Hooker." Not to mention his Twilight Zone episode before he did Star Trek.

    But I have you all beat no matter what. BEHOLD!

      "Clever editing"? I'm not sure the misrepresented parties' desire to ignore it and let it thereby die is really going to succeed. It will be around for years as a curiosity. The parties whose trust was abused should get together and publish a work in counterpoint. Let it go viral on YouTube.

      Back on thread subject:

      Ethan Phillips and Robert Picardo were both in Wagon's East, the movie that John Candy died making.

      Ethan Phillips was also in The Man Without A Face, and had a turn as the hapless security guard in The Shadow.


      Now for the embarrassing movie, Ethan was also in the TV movie Arachnoquake.

      Marc Alaimo was also in The Last Starfighter. He was the Zandozan in human form.

      ;)

      Transformers: The Movie counts, so Michale Bell (Dinobot Swoop), ST III's "Spock scream" guy, Frank Welker (Megatron, Scrapper, Soundwave, Rumble & Frenzy), as well as Roger C. Carmel (Cyclonus) and Nimoy (Galvatron).

      Colm Meaney's portrayal in the AMC Western "Hell On Wheels" is pretty awesome too.

      He pulls off a great villainous robber baron.

      to be fair he always has been good at the baddie role when ever he gets the chance, too bad he wasnt used to better effect on stargate atlantis, but there are other films and such he has done.
      T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW.

      To be honest I've not been keeping track on the movies but I have been keeping track of
      some that have been doing voice acting. In recent years Kate Mulgrew / Capt. Janeway has been doing a lot of voice acting for BioWare as Flemeth in the Dragon Age game franshise.

      Thank you.:D

      Just wait until I make a "JJ Wars: the Lensflare Strikes Back" signature when the new Star Wars movie comes out.
