TOS - Leonard Nimoy TNG - Patrick Stewart DS9 - Rene Auberjonois VOY - Robert Picardo ENT - John Billingsley
TOS - Shatner TNG - Stewart DS9 - Robinson VOY - Mulgrew ENT - watched about 15 minutes of the whole series, so I claim ignorance
TOS: Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley TNG: Patrick Stewart and LeVar Burton DS9: Colm Meaney, Avery Brooks and Jeffrey Combs VOY: Tim Russ and Robert Picardo ENT: Connor Trinneer and John Billingsley
TOS: Leonard Nimoy TNG: Patrick Stewart DS9: Rene Auberjonois, Avery Brooks, Jefferey Combs VOY: Tim Russ ENT: Scott Bakula, Connor Trineer, Jolene Blalock, Dominic Keating, and Jeffery Combs ( I know that's a lot but they were all good)
TOS: haven't seen enough of it TNG: Spiner. No contest. Just watch "Brothers" and you'll see what I mean. DS9: haven't seen enough of it, but I do like Odo and Bashir... VOY: tie between Picardo and Mulgrew. Maybe if I watch more VOY I'll be able to pick one. ENT: again, haven't seen enough of it
TOS - De Kelley TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT - Vaughn Armstrong :thumbsup: (okay, he's not a regular, but I don't care. )
TOS- Kelley. TNG- Stewart. DS9- Probably Colm. But there is a hell of a lot of competition. VOY- Picardo. ENT- Trineer.
Best ... Worst TOS: Kelley ... Koenig TNG: Stewart ... Sirtis DS9: Meaney ... Brooks VOY: Dawson ... Wang ENT: Billingsley ... Montgomery
I find it a bit difficult to judge an actor's performance, since I'm no actress I can't be sure what should be attributed to writing and what part of a performance is an acting choice. An actor might be pretty much just himself and still fit a role nicely. That said I'll give it a try. TOS: I only watched maybe half a dozen of episodes, so I can't really say. But given what an icon Spock became and considering how he was the first to play and shape the role of a Vulcan I'll go with Nimoy. TNG: Both Stewart and Spiner strike me as fairly good actors. DS9: I'd say Auberjonois, since he made Odo such a complex character whose vulnerability I always bought. Voy: Picardo. I doubt the doctor would have had half the screen time if he had been portayed by a lesser actor. I like Ryan as well, but I think that she didn't always play Seven the way I believe she should have been played. Russ on the other hand always nailed the Vulcan perfectly, IMO. ENT: I can't really comment. No one stood out to me.
