I would add Michelle Forbes on Orphan Black. Marian Bowles was hard to figure out at first.
Here she's with Matt Frewer (one appearance on TNG).

I'll go back to Orphan Black for James Frain as Ferdinand Chevalier and also the short lived Intruders as Richard Shepherd.

Totally agree with Rainn as Dwight.

One of the series biggest missed opportunities was not being able to bring Forbes back as a recurring character. They set Marion Bowles up to be this huge character and we never heard from her again, not to mention she dies off screen. I wonder how Season 5 would have been different if Marion was more involved.

IDK, they had so much going on by then. But definitely a shame she didn't return.
 
Patrick Stewart in American Dad.

Kate Mulgrew in Orange Is The New Black.

Robert Picardo and Connor Trinneer in Stargate.

Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap.

The Walking Dead but not because of Sonequa Martin Green who is a terrible actress.

Jason Isaacs in The Oa.

Armin Shimerman in Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Zachary Quinto in American Horror Story.

Whoopi Goldberg in The View. Just kidding.
