    How about Nimoy as that guy who goes "in search of" various ancient aliens and hidden creatures?

    Oh, and Keiko in Joy Luck Club?

    Patrick Stewart on the Simpsons as the head of the Masons--or whoever the heck they were.

    It probably doesn't count because they were playing themselves, but the NG crew guesting on Family Guy when Stewie kidnaps them all.

    I don't know if it's been mentioned yet. And I don't really like the show Hell on Wheels, but my family likes it. Colm Meany plays a character in it.

    Breaking the rules to mention a recurring character, but how about Andrew Robinson as the Scorpio Killer in the first Dirty Harry movie?

    The episode where he plays Spock at a kid's birthday party had me in tears.

    During Season 7, IIRC. I think that's why it's often a body double under the umpire mask in 'Take Me Out to the Holosuite'.

    I can't believe no one has mentioned John Laroquette and Brent Spiner on Night Court.
    Nanak Visitor also had a memorable role as a woman suffering from multiple personalities who took Dan Fielding hostage.

    I have improbably fond memories of De Kelley in Night of the Lepus. As always, he presented a questionable script with utter sincerity. (It probably didn't hurt that I had a crush on him when the movie came out.)
