Double Double Double!

[RobertScorpio]

In a TNG thread we are trying to figure out how many times Data/Picard played multiple parts in an episode. Data/Lore.. or Picard/Picard in Hollow Pursuits...Then it got me thinking. Which of our Star Trek regulars did the best job playing a double part?

Shatner's Enemy With In came to mind, as did Spock from Mirror Mirror! But for me, the best? Jonathin Frakes in Second Chances. I think he did the best job of, not only acting with him self, but also, creating a new character that was independent of Riker. A whole new character, and that is hard to do...

What double duty performance in the history of TREK do you think was the best????

Shatner's performance as Kirk and Lester-Kirk in Turnabout Intruder has always been a favorite of mine.

Always liked Spiner in his various roles as members of the Soong-family.

Shatner in "The Enemy Within" was great, too (man, I haven't watched this ep in ages, but still remember his fine performance).

Frakes in "Second Chances" was also good. I got the impression he's kinda underrated sometimes, being together with Stewart and Spiner on the same show - but he is a very capable actor.

I liked Kira's alternate universe character, and Data's extended family as well.

 

[Triskelion]

Barclay, definitely, as the hologram sent to Voy.
and Slutty Hoshi.

Connor creating a "Trip but not Trip" character in Similitude.
Linda Park as MU Hoshi

 

[Bill Morris]

Let's see, Majel Barrett played Number One, Nurse Chapel, Lwaxana Troi, and the voices of several TAS characters (including the sexy Lieutenant M'Ress), Gary Seven's computer, the 24th-century LCARS system, and the computer on the U.S.S. Defiant of ENT: In a Mirror, Darkly. The only time I recall two of her characters interacting with each other was in TNG, when Lwaxana had an argument with the replicator. But that's quite a diverse range of roles, and she was in every series.

Shatner's performance as Kirk and Lester-Kirk in Turnabout Intruder has always been a favorite of mine.

Definitely memorable!

Best "double" performance award in Trek history goes to Jeffrey Combs for playing both Weyoun 6 and Weyoun 7 in Treachery, Faith and the Great River.

I have to agree... even then this wonderful lady never got to REALLY show her acting abilities... but I also have to go with Riker in "Second Chances" and Kirk in "The Enemy Within"... for the reasons stated above by RobertScorpio.
