2 or More Trek Actors in Non-Trek Episodes or Movies

[There Be Whales Here]

A lot of 70's shows featured both TOS actors after Trek went off the air as well as future Trek spin-off actors in early roles.

The Six Million Dollar Man is one of the best examples having no fewer than 17 Trek guest stars:

William Shatner
George Takei
Marc Alaimo (Dukat)
Alene Martel (T'Pring)
Barbara Anderson (Lenore Karidan)
Bibi Besch (Carol Marcus)
Paul Carr (Lee Kelso)
Ted Cassidy (Ruk)
John Colicos (Kor)
Gary Collins (Gary Seven)
Yvonne Craig (Marta)
John de Lancie (Q)
Paul Fix (Dr. Piper)
France Nuyen (Elaan)
Henry Darrow (Admiral Savar)
Gary Lockwood (Gary Mitchell)
James Sikking (Styles)

Of course, RoboCop has Peter Weller (John Frederick Paxton, Admiral Marcus), Kurtwood Smith (President, Annorax), Miguel Ferrer (Excelsior crewmember), Ronny Cox (Captain Jellico), Ray Wise (Arturis)

It's funny how many Robocop actors showed up on Star Trek.

There's also Green Room from 2015 with Anton Yelchin and Patrick Stewart.

France Nuyen, and William Shatner's substantial muttonchops, in the Kung Fu episode "A Small Beheading."

Unbelievable, everyone's favorite movie, has about 42 Star Trek actors cast in it.

I still give John shit about that movie.



Worst. Movie. Ever.

 

[Greg Cox]

Wasn't there a Murder, She Wrote or Columbo with loads of the TOS cast in it?

Not tons, but both Nimoy and Koenig appear in the same episode of COLUMBO. Sadly, they share no scenes together.

Nimoy is the killer. Koenig is a cop at the crime scene, who briefs Columbo on what they've found so far.

 

[JesterFace]

As for the title, the edit doesn’t really make any more sense than the original…

As the creator of this weirdly named thread I think your new title is better.

 

[Greg Cox]

James Doohan and William Campbell (Trelane/Koloth) both appear as cops in Gene Roddenberry's PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN ROW.

DeForest Kelley and Paul Fix (Dr. Piper) both appear in the "classic" horror movie, NIGHT OF THE LEPUS.

 

[Kor]

Let's not forget the 2007 indie film The Man From Earth, from the story by science fiction author Jerome Bixby, who also wrote four ST:TOS episodes. This film included the following Trek alumni:
Tony Todd
John Billingsley
Richard Riehle

As for the 2017 sequel The Man from Earth: Holocene... I would indeed prefer that we forget that one.
But for this discussion, it had the following Trek actors:
Michael Dorn
John Billingsley
David Lee Smith
Vanessa Williams

Off the top of my head Total Recall had quite a few Trek actors: Ronnie Cox (Captain Jellico), Marc Alaimo (Gul Dukhat), Lycia Naff (Sonya Gomez) and Roy Brocksmith (Sirna Kolrami). I have a feeling I might have forgotten someone too!

It also has Michael Champion who was in TNG's Captain's Holiday, and, of course, Robert Picardo was Johnny Cab

 

[Trek Survivor]

It's funny how many Robocop actors showed up on Star Trek.

Of course, expand to include Robocop 2 and we can also include Gabriel Damon, who played Jeremy Aster in TNG, playing opposite Weller

Lois And Clark is also an easy one, as Teri Hatcher is a regular. We had Robert Beltran playing a terrorist, Jonathan Frakes as a bad guy, David Warner as Jor-El, Dwight Schultz as a guest star, and many, many more I can't be bothered to list!

I don't think they appeared in any episodes together sadly, but Batman The Animated Series had Kate Mulgrew, Diana Muldaur and Michael Ansara as recurring characters (and probably more besides).

Avery Brooks and Jennifer Lien in American History X.

Dwight Schultz (Murdock), Melinda Culea (Amy) and Lance LeGault (Colonel Decker) were all on the A-Team together and all turned up on TNG.

Chris Pine (Kirk) and Tom Hardy (Shinzon) were in a romantic comedy with Reese Witherspoon but I can't remember the name... This Is War or something?

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Of course, expand to include Robocop 2 and we can also include Gabriel Damon, who played Jeremy Aster in TNG, playing opposite Weller

Jeff McCarthy, Voyager's original doctor, was also in RoboCop 2 as the sleazy OCP lawyer, as was Mark Rolston, who was in TNG's Eye of the Beholder and a couple of episodes of Enterprise, John Glover was in DS9's Invasive Procedures.

If we include RoboCop 3, Stephen Root was in the Unification two-parter

 

[vandevere]

Watching T.J. Hooker right now, "A Matter of Passion".

Robert O'Reilly and Marc Alaimo are also in this episode, which, of course, stars William Shatner...

 

[Trelane_Squire_of_Gothos]

Can you think of a series or a movie that has more than one appearance from an actor that has been in Star Trek, regular or guest starring?

When skipping through channels I watched a little bit of MacGyver.
In a MacGyver episode 'Phoenix Under Siege' there are two Star Trek guest stars.
John Anderson was Kevin Uxbridge in TNG episode 'The Survivors' and Tricia O'Neil was Rachel Garrett in 'Yesterday's Enterprise'.
I have a list of actors that appeared in both Star Trek and Murder, She Wrote, there are quite a few.
But the question is, are there episodes or movies that have more than one Star Trek actor, regular or guest?

EDIT - the title doesn't make much sense....

If someone with the power to change it could do something about it, that would be nice.
Something like: Not a Trek episode or movie with 2 or more TREK actors.

It does count on some level but at the same time it doesn't. =)

Many episodes of Gargoyles...

Speaking of MacGyver, does any one know if there were any other Star Trek actors in the episodes with Penny (played by future transporter operator Terri Hatcher)?

I've never seen "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," but I know that both Kai Winn of DS9 and Lon Suder of "Voyager" are both in it.

Also, Christopher "Star Trek III" Lloyd.

Armin and Rene on Boston Legal

I understand that Denny Crane was also played by an obscure Trek actor...

Also, the Futurama episode with Shatner, Nimoy, Nichols, Takie, Koenig and Frakes. Then there's the Family Guy with the TNG cast.

The doctor is out..Frasier with both Patrick Stewart and Kelsey Grammer...if you believe the first contact rumours of course

For that matter any Cheers or Frasier episode with Frasier and Lilith, Frasier and Rebecca or Lilith and Rebecca.

Watching T.J. Hooker right now, "A Matter of Passion".

Robert O'Reilly and Marc Alaimo are also in this episode, which, of course, stars William Shatner...

Nimoy also guest starred in an episode.

Alien Nation. (The Series)
Four of the main leads were all in Trek. Gary Graham (ENT and VOY), Eric Pierpoint (DS9 and ENT), Michele Scarabelli (TNG), and Ron Fassler (VOY).

It also featured many Trek actors in single-ep appearances, such as Armin Shimerman, Brian Thompson, Gwyneth Walsh, Tracey Walter, Susan Gibney, Lori Petty, Geoffrey Blake, Alan Scarfe, Scott Jaeck, and Andreas Katsulas.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

I understand that Denny Crane was also played by an obscure Trek actor...

True, but Shatner never had lines with Auberjonois and Shimermnan on Star Trek. There are many fewer examples of actors who acted against each other in Star Trek and another production, which is what I hoped to highlight.

 

[Tim Thomason]

[J.T.B.]

But the question is, are there episodes or movies that have more than one Star Trek actor, regular or guest?

This thread has dozens of them for TOS, if you want to flip through over 200 pages:
https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/trek-guest-actors-in-maybe-surprising-roles.205921/

The most I've seen IIRC is six in an episode of The Virginian.
