Who is your favorite Jeffrey Combs character, and why?

I'll start (I haven't watched Enterprise much, however, so I wouldn't know much about Shran):
1. Weyoun
A combination of charm and gaslighting + he truly believes in his questionable obedience. It reminds me of systemic manipulation in real life. He carries it almost adorably as well, which is refreshing. Weyoun 6 also shows more depth. It's interesting to see the clones evolve.

2. Penk:
Another mirror of society to me, turning exploitation into a performance/pleasure. It's how I’ve often observed cruelty getting disguised. He’s also hard to dislike on top of it, which only adds to that reflection.

3. Agimus:
Parody/satire of the rogue AI archetype.

4. I also love his portrayal of Liquidator Brunt.

Weyoun, because he really is charming, when he wants to be. I loved him drinking the poisoned kanar in "Ties of Blood and Water".

 

[Uncle Sock]

Weyoun. It was such a brilliant character.

 

[1001001]

Shran, for sure.

 

[Lois007]

Ditto about Shran. Weyoun is cunning and sedate, but Shran...he's out there, dynamic, in your face and funny. He comes to Archer's rescue on more than one occasion. His feeling of being indebted drives the subplots of episodes. And the make up, the expressive antennae...I could go on and on.

Yea, it's "Shran, for sure. "

Definitely.

1. Weyoun. Smarmy, amoral, sycophantic D-bags were never so much fun.

2. Shran. DS9 had Worf, VOY had Seven. ENT would have had him.

3. Tiron. Weird looking dude with a thing for Kira. But then, pretty much EVERYONE had a thing for Kira. Except Bashir, and the guy who played him had a thing for the lady who played Kira

 

[Nyotarules]

Shran - top ten Trek character, number two Alien character
Brunt -
Weyoun

 

[Kraig]

The best for each series.
1. Enterprise Shran
2. DS9 Weyoun
3. LDs Agimus
4. Voyager Penk

It's always a treat to see or hear Jeffery Combs in an episode.

 

[B.J.]

Ratchet!

Oh, just Trek? Then Weyoun, although Shran is pretty darn close.

 

[ozzfloyd]

1. Herbert West
2. Shran
3. Brunt
4. Weyoun

 

[Troi]

I love Brunt F.C.A. I think his other characters are brilliant too but I just love a ferengi episode.

 

[FormerLurker]

Haven't seen Lower Decks, and don't remember Agimus. I'd say a tossup between Weyoun and Shran. If I can go outside of Trek, Doctor Mordrid. I've actually discussed Doctor Mordrid with Jeffrey Combs, which was enjoyable.

 

[tomalak301]

I like Wayoun and Shran, but Lower Decks needs some love and Agimus was a funny character.

 

[The Hanuk Kai]

Agimus was a great comedy character, and although Combs had played satire, this was right up his alley.

 

[Weyoun 251]

Jeffrey Combs is the real life version of this -

Weyoun. First, Combs as an actor does a great job embodying any character that he plays. Weyoun was a complex character that allowed for a wide range of motivations as he had to play both the evil and subservient depending on circumstance.

 

[publiusr]

Robert Zubrin should have a go as a Ferengi

 

[XCV330]

Shran
non-Star Trek, whoever he played in From Beyond. I mean it's another Barbara Crampton vehicle, but he's in it.

 

[Mage]

Oh man.... It's either Weyoun or Shran. I love what he did with Brunt, but Weyoun and Shran have so much more depth.

I think it's Shran for me.

The Question.

Hey, you didn't say on Star Trek.
