RIP. That episode wasn't an ordinary episode. It was a stage play, and it was the first time DS9 showed what kind of show it truly wanted to be.

Or Aamin Marritza or whatever!
One of my favorite actors. He was brilliant in all his roles.
I most remember him as Mr Peasley in the Western series "The Macahans" and as Aamin Marritza in the DS9 episode "Duet".

I remember him from his guest appearance on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the head of the Watcher Council confronting Giles and Buffy.
The best line he ever uttered was "Glory isn't a demon. She's a god."
Yulin could certainly pick political epics, counting CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER and THE MISSILES OF OCTOBER.

That was a very memorable episode and he was great in it, as always. Also, Buffy's speech to the Watcher's Council (and the throwing of the sword) was excellent.
I was surprised to discover he also did voicework for WATERSHIP DOWN.
(Only last week we lost another original ''1999'' cast member.......Prentis Hancock. His Paul Morrow was second-in-command, but like Tony in year two, he never achieved opening credit-billing.)

I agree.
That was the first DS9 episode I thought was outstanding.
I mean, I had watched all season 1 episodes up to that and thought that the series was OK but then I watched this episodfe and it was so incredible good.
Unfortunately, due to bad policy from the TV station I had back then which dumped DS9 after one season, it took years until I could watch the whole series from start to finish. Then I realized that Duet had been the beginning of something, a glimpse of what DS9 would become.
Since Harris Yulin was a favorite of mine since I firts saw him as Mr Peasley in a Western series. I was so impressed by his acting in Duet that I actually called myself "Aamin Marritza" on some Trek forum before becoming "Lynx".
Mr. Yulin broke my heart in this episode.
Just rewatched the original episode-"Breakaway"-on YouTube. After half a century it still holds up fairly well. Of course, like TOS, much of the cast is gone now.
One surviving cast member, Nick Tate, appeared on TNG and DS9.
Yeah, but why hold that against him?
He's also narrated a trailer or two. If memory serves, one of them was JURASSIC PARK
.
