Greatest non-Trek role from a StarTrek actor ?

[TrekNut87]

Of the choices, Burton in Roots gets my vote.

 

[Tralah]

I've tried to watch Boston Legal, but I just can't get into the show and I found Shatner's character to be annoying, but maybe I just tuned into some less-than-stellar episodes.

This was a hard choice, but I really enjoyed Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap, and so I went with it instead, but many of these performances listed here were wonderful!

 

[Shaw]

I'm not familiar with most of the poll, so I'll abstain from voting.

But if the choices weren't limited to the above, then I would pick Leonard Nemoy for his portrayal of Theo Van Gogh in the stage production Vincent.

 

[Ghel]

I agree that my favorite is Dwight Schultz as "Mad Dog" Murdock on "The A Team."

In addition, I liked Patrick Stewart's Claudius in the BBC version of Hamlet starring Derek Jacobi as a very CRAZY Hamlet. Awesome.

 

[C. Cole-Chakotay]

although not a lead, I always loved Dwight Schultz (Barclay) on The A-Team

Howling Mad Murdock! I loved that show. I came up with 'Howling Mad' Murdock from http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Schultz,_Dwight/index.html .

 

[indranee]

this is easy: Scott Bakula in QL.

 

[Sector 7]

Patrick Stewart in X-Men and X-2. We shall not speak of X-3.

It's the Nemesis/Generations of X-Men movies!

 

[BigC]

Patrick Stewart as Scrooge in A Christmas carol. Or in The Canterfield ghost.

I would have to say LaVar for Reading Rainbow

 

[Chess Piece Face]

Quantum Leap. Every week the guy played a character ACTING like another character to everybody around him. And the roles were very diverse...everything Sam as a pregnant woman to a monkey.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

Nicole De boer in "The Dead Zone"

As in Stephen King's The Dead Zone? That is one hell of a good book.

In any case, I went for Patrick Steward in X-Men.

 

[Good Will Riker]

Of those choices, I went with Bill Shatner in "Boston Legal" as Denny Crane.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

I would have to say LaVar for Reading Rainbow

Oh yeah, LaVar was the man there!

 

[Sector 7]

Leonard Nimoy in Never Forget. It was a performance worthy of an Emmy.
However, of the choices given I voted for Walter Koenig in Bablylon 5.

 

[Good Will Riker]

Leonard Nimoy in Never Forget. It was a performance worthy of an Emmy.

That was a good performance by him.

Was this the one where Mr. Nimoy portrayed a holocaust survivor?

 

[Mr. Fergy]

There are some good suggestions, some that were forgotten, and some real stinkers but my vote went to LeVar, he help define a generation in something that was never talked about before.

 

[SpockWeed]

From the list, Walter Koening was great as Bester, no doubt.

Movies, Patrick Stewart in Excalibur was the first thing that came to mind, and after thinking a bit George Takai in Green Berets is also very good.

The best though, cleary is Takai on the Howard Stern Show. Funniest shit ever.

 

[DeeEss57]

Check Excalibur and Christmas Carol, he's even better

Patrick Stewart in 'Macbeth'.

Have you seen Macbeth? His performance is way better than Excalibur or Christmas Carol.



DES
From many... One.

 

[Anwar]

You mean the recent stage version where he acted alongside David Tennant right?

Who was the cast? Tennant was Hamlet while Stewart was Claudius?

 

[TheMasterOfOrion]

I realize there were a lot of people I forgot like Louis Fletcher, or Dwight Schultz but I'm not familiar with every Trek episode and I decided to try and keep it simple by sticking with main cast members.
