What Star Trek Actor(s) have you met?

I've seen a lot of actors at conventions -- including once, over a glorious weekend way back in 1975, nearly the entire cast of TOS! The list of ones I've actually met, as in had a chance to say at least "hi" to, is shorter: Marina Sirtis, Patrick Stewart, Rene Auberjonois, Robert Beltran (I have a picture of him with me and a friend of mine), Kate Mulgrew, Robbie McNeill (who signed my copy of a fanzine I'd edited for his club), and Todd Stashwick (who liked my "Captain Shaw" song).
 
Though I've met many, many Trek actors over the years, here's a few, none convention instances I thought I'd share. In 1999 I remember I read an interview with Lorel Godwin in a Trek mag, who played yeoman Colt in The Cage. My young self had the gaul to write to the mag and get the address to where I could contact her. I sent my video cover of The Cage which she signed, and wrote and signed a letter addressed to me. Of course I still have it framed to this day. The next year I was working as an extra in a movie that featured Ben Cross. As DS9 heavily featured the Romulans I mentioned to him I thought he would've made a great Romulan. Little did I know at the time that he would go on to play Spock's father 9 years later!!
 
I've always either been too poor or too cheap to get autographs or photos, so I haven't actually met anyone. I have seen the TNG cast (except Stewart), Shatner, Nimoy, Nichols, Takei, Koenig, Anson Mount, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Judson Scott at cons over the years.
