Actors you wish had been on the Voyager crew

I like the Chakotay that we got, but I do have to say Graham Greene would have been fab. (He's even good at comedy - anybody besides me a fan of The Red Green Show?) I remember Studi's face but I can't remember his performances, dang it.
Just one...well, I guess we can call it a word, Dingo: Aaaaaaaauuuuuuuugh!
Well, he was in "Powwow Highway," but so was every other Native American actor...
And that one probably got more play on reservations than anywhere else.Studi was Geronimo in an early 90s TV movie. And he was Toughest Pawnee in "Dances with Wolves." More recently Joe Leaphorn in "Skinwalkers" and Gen Abner in this season's ill-fated "Kings."
I gotta say, though, Graham Greene would have made my heart sing--since he's an Iroquois like me.
^ If Graham makes your heart sing...you might want to try Red Green. I hesitate to say that because although I love that show it's most definitely not everybody's cup of tea. But even if you don't like the show, you might enjoy seeing Graham in it, because it's a totally different Graham than we usually see (http://www.redgreen.com/ - oh, and here's the cast list: http://www.redgreen.com/index.cfm?app=cart&a=cast). The show ran a long time, though, and he's not on every episode.
I dimly remember that Geronimo movie...but I do mean dimly.

Oh, I like him well enough--and I'll check out Red Green. But he would have made my heart sing as Chakotay simply because he's from a sister nation. Who knows? With TPTB's reliance on ethnic actors for their backstory, I might not have the sig I do today.
How about Gilbert Gottfried as the EMH mark II?
As long as they were going for the comic/annoying vibe with Andy Dick, why not?

Now you're just being mean. I don't even want to think about Gilbert Gottfried in anything lalalalalala I can't hear you lalalalala!
There. I'm better now.
Gilbert vs. Goldwaith? Those are my choices? Ooh, my head hurts.
As for Bell, I like her - good actress and all - but she's too young, I think. (I mean, she would have been too young back when VOY started.) I rather liked having a woman in her 40s, probably because I was in my 30s when VOY debuted, but also because I liked that Janeway was someone who looked as though she'd earned her captaincy. But Bell could do it now, I think.
