How many regular actors wore all three uniform colours?

This came up over in the TNG trivia thread, but I'm racking my brains.

How many of the regular actors (so main actors or actors with recurring parts) in ANY series have worn all three colours of the uniform - red gold and blue?

All I can think of is Bob Picardo, who wore blue as the Doctor, Gold as Lewis Zimmerman and Red as the ECH. However, Memory Alpha says that there were a handful of other actors who did it as well (in the article for Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy).

Can anyone help me out?
 
Well ihe IMDB article for Picardo lists, George Takei and Robert Duncan McNeill as the other two actors to have worn all three colours.

As for the episodes

Robert Duncan McNeill

"Author, Author" Blue
"Worst Case Scenario" Gold

George Takei

"Where No Man Has Gone Before" Blue
"Mirror, Mirror" Red

Of course several actors have worn two of the colours such as

Colm Meany, Micheal Dorn, Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner

A few others in the two color category:
Leonard Nimoy wore gold in Where No Man Has Gone Before.
Nichelle Nichols wore gold in early season one.
Anthony Montgomery wore red in In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II.
Barbara Baldavin wore gold in Balance of Terror and Shore Leave, and red in Turnabout Intruder.

Walter Koenig wore blue in The Tholian Web, because he was in a blue jump suit in sickbay.

Along the same lines, Nichelle Nichols was in a blue thingie "sick clothes" in sickbay in that episode, so (if you allow it) that would take her over the top to all three colors. She's also in a blue thingie in sickbay in The Changeling when she says her infamous "bluey" line.

Morgan Woodward has worn all three colors. He wore blue and red jumpsuits in Dagger of the Mind and gold in The Omega Glory.
 
Uhura sort of did. She was in gold in "The Corbomite Manoeuvre", red throughout the series, then in TWOK onwards she was grey which was used for the sciences.
 
LeVar Burton also wore two colours. Red in season 1, gold for the rest of the series.

Voyager's Author, Author features Kate Mulgrew, Roxann Dawson, Garret Wang and Ethan Phillips in blue uniforms.

Although Neelix didn't usually wear a uniform, Ethan Phillips gets to be in this club. In addition to the above mentioned blue uniform, every other time we saw Neelix in a uniform (alternate realities/timelines) he wore gold.

I don't remember the actor's name, but Lt. Ayala on Voyager wore gold throughout the series, the in the final season he switched to red.

This is a great question, just wished that I had thought about it myself.
 
I actually have to make a correction to my previous post, but Garrett Wang did wear all three colours as well. Blue in Author, Author like I mentioned and red in Endgame.

More in the two colour category:

Gates McFadden wore red in All Good Things
Aaron Eisenberg wore red in The Visitor
Jolene Blalock wore gold in Twilight and In a Mirror Darkly, and a blue TOS uniform in IaMD.
Eddie Paskey frequently switched between red and gold.
 
Tracee Cocco (Lt Jae, TNG) would also be in the three-colour club. Gold for the TV series, red for Generations, blue for First Contact.
 
Is this the point where I point to the question asked, which regulars (which generally means main cast) wore all the 3 colours.

But it's still interesting to point out the guest stars who did this as well.
 
OP asks who wore 3 colors, and the majority of the responses give answers for 2 colors... *facepalm*

lots of people wore 2 colors

Which have been properly indicated, and which by the way both could lead and have led to a three color discovery, as it did when someone pointed out that Mr. Leslie had two colors. I took that information and pointed out that he really qualifies as a three color regular actor.

I don't just mean the main actors, but recurring characters as well, such as Patti Yusataki, Aron Eisenberg, etc.
