Rest in peace, Mr. Jenner.
What an awful day. First, John Saunders, and now this. Sometimes life just isn't fair.

Damn. I was only recently watching Inter Arma Silent Leges and was reminded how awesome Admiral Ross was.
Jenner and Seddig nailed the scene in the briefing room near the end. Such great acting.
Totally. But I also liked the various little moments we get in the episode, such as Ross trying Romulan Ale for the first time.
It's interesting to compare that scene with the one in which Ross is drinking Klingon bloodwine with Sisko. The admiral must not have been much of a party-goer.
Which reminds me of another favourite Ross moment, the scene where him and Sisko are partaking in a Klingon ritual with Martok and Ross gets noticeably distressed when he realizes he has to slash his palm with a knife.
Janeway and Paris...okay just Paris
He was on Dallas for two seasons as the doctor (and best friend) of fellow DS9 guest star John Beck.
The only other thing I can think of him being in outside of DS9 was Family Matters
I'm sure I've seen him in something else as well, but I can't think of any.
I didn't watch Dallas. I was a bit too young for most of its run. I was born early in its run. I could have gotten into it during the last few seasons I suppose, but I didn't.
Just checked. Jenner was on Dallas during the mid-1980s. No way in hell I would have been watching it

I'll give you Paris... so long as you weren't related to him. Janeway... ummm... yeah no. Janeway is the Starfleet example of incompetence psychosis and evil rising to its maximum point of destructive capabilities.
I think I remember fretting for Bashir's safety after getting wrapped up in Section 31, only to be relieved when Admiral Ross believes him about Sloan and does some digging around of his own. Kind of like, if you're a little kid and you're scared and in trouble, but the one adult who comes for you just happens to be your friend's parent or something. Someone who's a real authority and can do something substantial about the problem, even if you two aren't really close. Of course, then there's the part when it turns out that Ross is a Section 31 sympathizer, which made that turn away from relief a bit more shocking. And Jenner played Ross -- with all his twists and turns -- like a fiddle. He was just absolutely great.
RIP, Barry Jenner. Gone far too soon. 
He did an episode of Starman in 1986. Do you remember that?I didn't watch Dallas. I was a bit too young for most of its run. I was born early in its run. I could have gotten into it during the last few seasons I suppose, but I didn't.

I believe Admiral Ross was only meant to be seen for the opening arc of season 6. But everyone liked Barry Jenner in the role so much they brought him back by the end of the season and made him recurring throughout the seventh season.
Both. A 1984 film and a 1986-87 TV show. I have a hard time remembering either.
