The better screamer: Harry or Tom?

Good morning.

Between Garrett Wang's Harry Kim in "Scorpion" and Robert Duncan McNeill's Tom Paris in "Alice", which of those two actors produced the more convincing howl?
 
I was prepared to dislike "Alice," which is one of those I never saw in the original run, on first viewing.

I liked it. Robbie did an excellent job. I did, however, think the guest actress made some odd choices. That could have also been directorial; perhaps the desired approach to the entity was to make "Alice" seem more alien, hence the somewhat odd line deliveries. Still, that held the ep back for me.

But yes - outstanding scream in the turbolift. No question. Garrett was no slouch himself in the screaming department, but I'll give this one to Robbie.

That wide-eyed stare of hers resulted in her performance vacillating between "conventional drug addict" and "supernatural entity" (supernatural because she seemed possessed of a boundless mania).

You're kidding, right? Chekov screaming is one of Trek's oldest memes.

0:35 - best scream from anyone, ever. Vocal cadence modulation yet mouth and throat remain motionless. Now that's sum good actin'!
