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

The upcoming Showtime series adapting The Man Who Fell to Earth starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Naomie Harris, and produced by Trek’s Kurtzman and Lumet, has a very talented cast that includes two Prodigy cast members in Jimmi Simpson and Kate Mulgrew.

I just remembered that Joe Cornish’s excellent follow up to Attack the Block, the family film The Kid Who Would Be King, happens to have two Trek actors, and they played the same role.

Both Jean-Luc Picard himself Sir Patrick Stewart, and the voice of Prodigy’s Zero, Angus Imrie, split the acting duties for Merlin in a light, modern continuation of Arthurian legend.

Also, Wesley Crusher’s Wil Wheaton and Jack Ransom’s Jerry O’Connell have been real life friends since childhood, after starring together in Stand By Me.

As of this week’s episode of Discovery The Man in the High Castle has multiple Trek actors, the 32nd Century President Rillak played Chelah Horsdal, and Dr. Hirai’s portrayer, Hiro Kanagawa.

Kanagawa’s introduction to Trek also makes The Terror: Infamy a production with multiple Trek actors, as he shared the screen with George Takei ‪‪in that series.

Louise Fletcher (Vedek/Kai Winn) as protagonist Peter Falk's love interest, and James Cromwell (Zefram Cochrane) as a Nazi stooge, in the 1978 film "The Cheap Detective" written by Neil Simon.

Mildly surprised The Boys hasn’t come up yet, as it’s got Karl Urban (Kelvinverse McCoy), Simon Pegg (Kelvinverse Scotty), Jack Quaid (Boimler), and Dawnn Lewis (Captain Freeman).

Someone did bring that up on the first page of the thread:

Then there's The Boys, which stars Karl Urban and Jack Quaid. Simon Pegg is a recurring character on the show, playing Quaid's father, and Dawn Lewis guest starred in an episode, sharing a scene with Quaid. I guess we could now include John Noble, since he's now on Prodigy, and appeared in an episode of The Boys as Urban's father.
