Was the actor originally cast as Dukat ever revealed?

I find that odd; with all the behind-the-scenes info about Star Trek out there I don't think that actors name has ever been revealed.

That would actually have been funny if they'd done it.

 

[Bad Atom]

I've always wondered this as well. Maybe we'll find out when they put DS9 on Blu-Ray?

 

[Unicron]

I wasn't aware there were other choices besides Marc Alaimo. I do know that Stephen Macht, who eventually appeared on DS9 as a Bajoran officer, was one of the candidates for the role of Picard.

 

[Leviathan]

Was it Shatner? Probably Shatner.

This is the first I've heard of the recasting, very interesting!

When the blurays come out, I hope they do something similar as what they did with the Picard alternative, and even some of the test footage, since he did complete a day of filming according to memory-alpha.

I can't imagine any other actor playing Dukat! I never knew that they originally cast someone else!
