Best Actor by Series

DS9 was way too many immaculate actors to pick a "best". DS9's best are all completely perfect and mesmerzing in their roles so there can be no definitive "best". Especially Armin Shimmermann, Rene Auberjonois, Colm Meaney, Louise Fletcher, Marc Alaimo, Jeffrey Combs, Andy Robinson etc.; but thats by no means a complete list of the immaculate actors on DS9. I definitely strongly disagree with the idea that Nana Visitor is anywhere near as good as any of those individuals I've just named. Visitor's acting gets extremely hokey, amatuerish and unbelievable any time she starts crying or flipping out. She's a decent actress but nowhere even remotely near on the level of DS9's best actors.

The other serieses are much easier to definitively pick the best actors from:

TOS - Nimoy
TNG - Spiner
ENT - Dr. Phlox actor
VOY - Neelix actor
 
TOS-Nimoy, Shatner
TNG-Stewart, Spiner, Burton
DS9-Aberjonois, Visitor
Voy-Ryan, Russ
ENT-Trinneer (because he got more screen time than Billingsley), Billingsley, Park
 
TOS - Shatner
- Agree with the earlier poster that Shatner was asked to
act a far wider range than Nimoy and did it well.

TNG - Stewart
- How anyone could pick Spiner over Stewart is beyond me.
Yes, Spiner is good. But Stewart is amazing. Just watch
"Chain of Command, Part II" and get back to me.

DS9 - Too Many
- There's no way to narrow this one down. Among the
regulars, probably Meaney. But there are so many great
recurring actors -- Louise Fletcher, Marc Alaimo,
Andrew Robinson, Jeffrey Combs, and on and on.

VOY - Ryan, I suppose.

ENT - No opinion.
 
TOS: DeForest Kelley and Leonard Nimoy
TNG: Patrick Stewart and LeVar Burton
DS9: Nana Visitor and Avery Brooks (This was a very difficult choice.)
VOY: Jeri Ryan and Tim Russ (This was a much easier choice.)
ENT: Connor Trinneer and John Billingsley
 
TOS:Nemoy and Kelly
TNG:Steward and Spiner
DS9:Everyone (the whole cast was outstanding IMHO)
VOY:Picardo, Russ, Ryan, Mulgrew
Ent: Trinneer, Billingsley(sp), Blalock(sp)

The one and only

Star Trek: DS9 - Nana Visitor and Rene Auborjonies

I'm glad she's coming back on TV to BSG
She's not coming back to TV, she's a regular on Wildfire, the horse racing show created by Michael Piller,(which I've never actually seen myself) had a 1 ep guest role on CSI and did 6 episodes of Dark Angel.

All of which I don't watch. Still though, it's good to see she is still acting. The same can't be said about some of the other members of the DS9 cast.
 
only regular and recurring cast, right?

TOS: Nimoy, Shatner
TNG: Stewart, Spiner
DS9: Alaimo, Visitor, Brooks, Robinson
VOY: Ryan
ENT: Billingsley, Bakula
 
TOS: Kelly & Nimoy
TNG: Stewart & Spiner
DS9: Robinson, Combs, Shimmerman, Visitor & Fletcher
VOY: Russ & Picardo
ENT: Trinneer & Billingsly

Colm Meaney will be in the US remake of Life On Mars. You can guess which role he'll be playing. ;)
 
And, as I said earlier in the thread, Colm Meaney starred in an Irish film. Specifically, Kings, Ireland's nomination for the Academy awards this year.

The guy is getting work. ;)
 
TOS - Nimoy
TNG - Stewart
DS9 - Meaney (too many to choose)
VOY - Ryan (too many to choose)
ENT - Billingsley (had to flip a coin, Trineer lost)
 
Oh, if we're doing recurring guests, I'll add Combs, Alaimo, Fletcher, and Robinson to my DS9 list.
 
TOS - Leonard Nimoy, runner-up William Shatner
TNG - Brent Spiner, runner-up Patrick Stewart
DS9 - Nana Visitor, runner-up Avery Brooks, Colm Meaney, Armin Shimmerman
VOY - Kate Mulgrew, runner-up Roxann Dawson
ENT - John Billingsley, runner-up Connor Trinneer
