Non-credited Actors

[TJinPgh]

Anybody know a place where we might be able to find a list of non-credited actors for various Trek episodes?

In particular, I was watching the 1st Season Episode "The Last Outpost" tonight and was curious about the young tactical officer who was on the bridge when everybody was unconscious near the end.

He's one of the first people you see waking up, slumped over his console.

He looked a little familiar. Was curious if anybody knows who he was or where I might find it listed.

IMDB only lists the Ferengi and the Portal. It wasn't listed on startrek.com, either.

What episode number is that? Can't seem to find an episode with that name

Update:
oops, nevermind, I'll try and look into it when I come home

Memory Alpha is the best source for that kind of thing. If it can't be found there, it probably can't be found anywhere else online. They list the unnamed characters, extras and stuntspeople, with screenstills.

Thanks for the link!

Turns out that the character in question is "Ensign Youngblood," played by James G. Becker.

No other acting jobs show up on IMDB other than TNG so I guess I was mistaken when I thought he looked familiar. Probably just saw him in some other episodes and didn't remember.

Anyway, thanks again.

If you used to collect the Starlog TNG collectible magazines, they did a fairly extensive interview with Becker during Season One, where he talks about how many ST stand-ins and extras gain nicknames during filming. If an extra is very lucky, his character's name might make it into a script, or he is given a line or two. Becker was probably the first TNG extra to gain notoriety via the publicity push.

IIRC, Guy Vardaman (who also photo-doubled as Data's hands in closeup, was Wil Wheaton's stand-in, and eventually got a job as Archivist Richard Arnold's assistant in the Star Trek Office) managed to score - over seven years - a surname (Wallace) and then a first name (Darien) for his recurring crewman, and even two single words of dialogue.

I've always assumed that "Guy Fleegman" was an in-joke about Guy Vardeman.

According to Memory Alpha, the character's name was an in-joke about Vardman.

It was. Even funnier that he was a convention guest here in Sydney not long before "Galaxy Quest" came out.

We recognised Guy Fleegman immediately!
