More Famous People Who Guest Starred on STAR TREK


There are so many we had to start a second page of famous people who guest starred on Star Trek.

UPDATE 3: And here are 5 more...


41. Jane Wiedlin
Best known as a member of 80s all girl group The Go-Go's, Wiedlin portrayed Trillya in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.


42. Joe Piscopo
Joe Piscopo played a holographic comedian trying to teach Data about comedy in the Star Trek: TNG episode The Outrageous Okona.


43. Christopher Plummer
Christopher Plummer played Chang in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.


44.  Matt Frewer
Max Headroom himself, Matt Frewer played Berlinghoff Rasmussen in the 1991 Star Trek:TNG episode A Matter of Time.


45. Carter Winston (Voiced by Ted Knight)
As rightly pointed out in the comments below, how could we not include Star Trek: TAS? So to correct that slightly we have the animated character of Carter Winston who in the episode The Survivor was voiced by Mary Tyler Moore Show stalwart Ted Knight.

Update 4: 5 more for you...


46. Tom Hardy
Yep, that's a young bald Tom Hardy as Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis. He was also seen in the movie as Jean-Luc Picard in a still photograph during that character's tenure at Starfleet Academy.


47. Daniel Dae Kim
Another Lost alumni, Daniel Dae Kim played Corporal Chang in the Star Trek: Enterprise episodes, The Xindi, Extinction and Hatchery, as well as playing Astronaut Gotana-Retz in the Voyager episode Blink Of An Eye.


48. Vanessa Williams
Former Miss America turned singer turned actress Vanessa Williams played Arandis in the 1996 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode Let He Who Is Without Sin...


49. Frank Gorshin
Riddle me this. Who is that half white face, half black face character above? Why it's none other than Bele as seen in the 1969 Original Series episode Let That Be Your Last Battlefield. Bele was of course played by Frank Gorshin, who also portrayed The Riddler in the 1960s Batman series.


50. Ron Perlman
Hellboy Ron Perlman played Reman Videroy in Star Trek: Nemesis.

Update 5: 5 more for you... 


51. David Warner
David Warner has played three different roles in Star Trek. He first appeared as Ambassador St. John Talbot in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier in 1989. In 1991 he played Klingon chancellor Gorkon in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The following year he portrayed the Cardassian Gul Madred in the TNG sixth season two-part story Chain of Command. "There...are...four...lights!"


52. Whoopi Goldberg
Kind of an obvious one, but all the same one we should include. Whoopi Goldberg famously played Guinan in occasional episodes of TNG.


53. Dwight Schultz
Another Star Trek recurring guest star, and one who's often better remembered as Howling Mad Murdock on The A-Team. Schultz played Reginald Barclay in TNG, Voyager and First Contact.


54. Chris Hemsworth
Before Thor, Chris Hemsworth portrayed George Kirk, the father of James T. Kirk, in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek in 2009.


55. Brenda Strong
Recently you may have seen Brenda Strong in the 2013 relaunch of Dallas, before that she was heard but rarely seen as Mary Alice Young, the deceased narrator on Desperate Housewives. But way back in 1988 she played the role of Rashella in the Star Trek: The Next Generation first season episode When The Bough Breaks.

Update 6.
Because 60 is a much better number...


56. Ed Begley, Jr
Best known for St. Elswewhere, Ed Begley, Jr played Henry Starling in the two-part Voyager story Future's End.


57. Ronny Cox
Ronny Cox played Captain Edward Jellico in the two-part The Next Generation sixth season story Chain of Command, Part I.


58. Pamela Adlon
More recently you'll find her in Californication, but back when Pamela Adlon was Pamela Segall she played Oji in The Next Generation episode Who Watches The Watchers.


59. John Rhys-Davis
That would be a hologram of Leonardo da Vinci surprising Captain Janeway. And playing the legendary scientist and artist is the almost as legendary Welsh actor John Rhys-Davis, who appeared in two Voyager episodes, Concerning Flight, and Scorpion: Part 1.


60. Bob Gunton 
From The Shawshank Redemption, through 24 and Daredevil (to name just three), Bob Gunton has a mighty impressive resume, and of course he's appeared on Star Trek too. You would have seen him as Captain Benjamin Maxwell in The Next Generation fourth season episode The Wounded.

Update 7


61. David Soul
That man on the left up there is none other than Det. Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson, or David Soul if you'd rather. Way back in 1967, in only his third television role, he played Makora in the Original Series episode The Apple.


62. Robert Knepper
Probably most famously known as Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell from Prison Break, a young Mr Knepper played Wyatt Miller in the 1987 Next Generation episode Haven.


63. Mark Moses
Before spending years on Desperate Housewives, Moses guest starred in flashback in the two-part pilot episode of Enterprise, Broken Bow. He played Henry Archer, the principal developer of the first warp five engine, and one of the designers of Enterprise NX-01. He was a good friend and colleague of Zephraim Cochrane, and most importantly, he was Jonathan Archer's father.

Moses also has another Star Trek appearance to his credit, as he played Naroq in the 1999 Voyager episode Riddles.


64. Steven Culp
Another of the male stars of Desperate Housewives who also guest starred on two different iterations of Trek. Culp played Major Hayes, the leader of a special team of elite soldiers known as the Military Assault Command Operations team, in 5 episode of Enterprise; Countdown, Hatchery, Harbinger, The Shipment, and The Xindi.

He also played Commander Martin Madden, Jean-Luc Picard's new first officer in Star Trek Nemesis, but his scenes were deleted from the final film.


65. Paul "Big Show" Wight
The WWE wrestler appeared on Enterprise playing an Orion Slave Trader in the episode Borderland.

Update 8


66. Sally Kellerman
As we have just celebrated the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, what better time to add Sally Kellerman to this collection. Her many acting credentials include playing Maj. Margaret 'Hot Lips' O'Houlihan in the 1970 movie version of MASH. Prior to that she played Dr Elizabeth Denner in the second Star Trek pilot episode (and the third episode to be televised), Where No Man Has Gone Before, which was filmed in July 1965.


67. Daphne Ashbrook
Doctor Who fans will know her as Dr Grace Holloway from the 1996 TV Movie, but three years before that Daphne Ashbrook played Melora Pazlar on the season 2 Deep Space Nine episode Melora.


68. Clint Howard
Ron Howard's little brother Clint was only 7 years old when he appeared as Balok in The Original Series episode The Corbomite Maneuver. He made his acting debut three years prior to that and has since racked up over 230 IMDB credits, among them are two more guest spots on Star Trek. A significantly older Clint played Grady in part two of the Deep Space Nine episode Past Tense, and in 2002 he guest starred in Enterprise as Muk in the first season episode Acquisition.


69. Kristin Bauer van Straten
She's probably best known for playing Pam De Beaufort on 67 episodes of True Blood, but back in 2005 Kristin Bauer van Straten guest starred on the Enterprise episode Divergence as the female Klingon warrior Lt. Laneth.


70. Idris Elba
Almost unrecognisable, Idris Elba, the actor who seems to feature in every other movie released recently, portrayed Krall in Star Trek Beyond.

Update 9.
It's been awhile but it's time for a Discovery centric update with five more famous guest stars, and one for free.

Star Trek: Discovery has plenty of famous faces among the main cast, including Sonequa Martin-Green, Doug Jones, Jason Isaacs and Clem Fandango (!), but in its two seasons to date it's also featured some famous guest stars, including...


71. Rainn Wilson
Best known for his years playing Dwight Schrute on the U.S. version of The Office, Rainn Wilson portrayed Harcourt Fenton "Harry" Mudd in two episodes of Discovery's first season. The character was originally played by Roger C. Carmel in The Original Series, so with Discovery set prior to that this was a younger Mudd than we'd seen before.


72. Melissa George
Another character from the past, Vina was originally portrayed by Susan Oliver in the pilot episode of Star Trek, The Cage. 53 years later Melissa George, who you may Home And Away, Alias, and a whole host of other shows, resurrected the character on the season two episode If Memory Serves.


73. Rekha Sharma
The Battlestar Galactica actress played Commander Landry in three episodes of Discovery's first season.


74. James Frain
Bringing back Spock's (and Burnham's) father Sarek was a bold move, and pulled off by the Gotham, 24 and Grimm vetron, James Frain.


75. Mia Kirshner
Talking of 24, it's Mandy! Also known as Mia Kirshner who's now portraying Amanda, Spock's human mother and Burnam's adoptive one.


Bonus Guest Star
You'll find him up there already in position 68 on our list, so we're not counting him twice. Clint Howard made a very welcome return to Star Trek, portraying 'Creepy Orion' in the Discovery season one finale, Will You Take My Hand?

Did you know all of them? And have we missed any?

  29. I'm a bit surprised there's no mention so far of Brad Dourif as crewman Suder the psychopath and serial killer in the second and third seasons. It's one of the best bit of acting in any of the Voyager series, the character has some cent dedepth and the storyline around him works well too. Definitely worth a mention

    1. No, Peter Graves was not. You're thinking of Keith Andes, who did have something of a resemblance to Peter and his brother James Arness, come to think of it.

  104. Already mentioned above, but I'll second it: Julie Newmar played the character Eleen in S2E11 of TOS "Friday's Child". She was the original Cat Woman, and she has a cameo/theme in the movie To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar.

    1. That was Carolyn Seymour, one of a long list of recycled Trek actors. She played two different Romulan commanders, as well as Space Minister Mirasta Yale, on three episodes of TNG, as well as the housekeeper in Capt. Janeway's holonovel on several episodes of Voyager.

  108. You mentioned Ed Begley Jr. (Dr. Victor Erhlich) and Ronny Cox (Dr. John Gideon) as St. Elsewhere alums who have guest starred on Star Trek. But the St. Elsewhere connection goes far deeper than that into the show's main and supporting casts:

    William Daniels (Dr. Mark Craig) was the voice of the hospital's allocation computer in the Voyager episode "Critical Care."

    Norman Lloyd (Dr. Daniel Auschlander) played Professor Galen, Capt. Picard's mentor, in the TNG episode "The Chase."

    Ellen Bry (Nurse Shirley Daniels) played Dr. Farralon, the inventor of the exocomps that Data wants to save, in the TNG episode "The Quality of Life."

    Jennifer Savidge (Nurse Lucy Papandrao) played Fala in the DS9 episode "The Darkness and the Light."

    Kavi Raz (Dr. Vijay Kochar) played engineer Singh in the TNG episode "Lonely Among Us."

    David Birney (Dr. Ben Samuels) played Letant in the DS9 episode "Tears of the Prophets."

    France Nuyen (Dr. Paulette Kiem) guest starred as Elaan of Troyius in the TOS episode of the same name.

    Bruce Greenwood (Dr. Seth Griffin) played Christopher Pike in the rebot movies Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness.

    Alfre Woodard (Dr. Roxanne Turner) guest starred as Lily in Star Trek: First Contact.

    Chad Allen, who played Dr. Westphall's autistic son Tommy, guest starred as Jono, the orphaned human boy living as a Talarian, in the TNG episode "Suddenly Human."

    Karen Landry, who had a recurring role as Dr. Peter White's wife Myra, played the Vorgon Ajur on the TNG episode "Captain's Holiday."

  109. Dr. Mae Jemison, a NASA astronaut who orbited Earth aboard the space shuttle Endeavour, played the transporter operator who beamed up the "other" Will Riker in the TNG episode "Second Chances."

  110. Michael Welch, most recently known for playing Mike in the Twilight Saga movies and Luke in Joan of Arcadia, played Artim, the towheaded kid who played with Data in the straw, in Star Trek: Insurrection.

  111. William O. "Billy" Campbell is known for many parts he's played over the years, in The 4400, Tales of the City, The Rocketeer, Melrose Place, Once and Again and other shows. He guest starred as Thadium Okona in the TNG episode "The Outrageous Okona." It was a consolation prize of sorts for not getting the role of William Riker when TNG was cast (Jonathan Frakes beat him out of it).

  112. Legendary French Canadian actress Geneviève Bujold, best known for playing Anne Boleyn in Anne of the Thousand Days, played Capt. Nicole Janeway on the Voyager premiere episode "Caretaker" -- until producers hurriedly recast the part with Kate Mulgrew and renamed the character Kathryn. And although all of Bujold's scenes had to be reshot with Mulgrew, a close-up shot of Bujold's hand on a console made it to the final cut.

  113. Madge Sinclair was a recurring actress on TV through the 1970s-90s. But she is best known for her role as Nurse Shoop in Trapper John, MD, as well as for playing half of a royal African couple (opposite James Earl Jones) in two movies: The Lion King and Coming To America. She had an uncredited role in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home as the captain of the USS Saratoga, the first starship to encounter, and be disabled by, the probe heading toward Earth. Later, she would appear as Capt. LaForge, the captain of the USS Hera and Geordi's mother, in the TNG episode "Interface."

    Legendary entertainer Ben Vereen also appeared in the TNG episode "Interface" as Geordi's father.

  115. Suzie Plakson, most recently known for How I Met Your Mother but also for Mad About You and Love and War, is one of an illustrious line of recycled Trek actors. She's best known as the Klingon K'Ehleyr, Worf's mate and Alexander's mother, in the TNG episodes "Emmisary" and "Reunion." But she also played Dr. Selar, the Vulcan doctor who beams down to treat Ira Graves, in the TNG episode "The Schizoid Man." She was the female Q (Q's ex-wife) in the Voyager episode "The Q and the Grey." And she also played the Andorian Tarah, Shran's adjutant who tries to sabotage his peace initiative, in the Enterprise episode "Cease Fire."

  116. Two actors have joined the ranks of Trek recycled actors -- and have done it together, in the same two Trek productions.

    Merritt Butrick is best known for his breakthrough role as Johnny Slash in the sitcom Square Pegs. But to Trek fans he will always be Capt. Kirk's son David, a role he played in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Butrick also guest starred as T'Jon, one of two Ornarans who are trying to get a valuable shipment of the drug felicium back to their home planet, in the TNG episode "Symbiosis."

    Judson Scott has appeared in several TV shows, most notably The Colbys. He had an uncredited role as Joachim, Khan's adjutant whose death toward the end of the film Khan vows to avenge, in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. He also appeared as Sobi, one of the Brekkans who don't want to part with their felicium, in the TNG episode "Symbiosis."

    Judson Scott was further recycled as Rekar, the Romulan commander who tried to hijack the USS Prometheus, in the Voyager episode "Message in a Bottle."

  117. Phil Morris has had a long career on TV, but he is perhaps best known for his roles as Grant Collier on the 1988 remake of Mission Impossible (his father, Greg Morris, played Barney Collier in the original) or the chief purser on the 1998 remake Love Boat: The Next Wave. He has also joined the illustrious ranks of recycled Trek actors.

    Way at the beginning of his career, he had an uncredited role as the boy wearing the Army helmet in the TOS episode "Miri."

    Later, he played the cadet on board the Enterprise who mused about returning home to a hero's welcome on Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

    He played a Klingon commander in the DS9 episode "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places," as well as a Jem'Hadar in the DS9 episode "Rocks and Shoals."

    Finally, he played Lt. John Kelly, the commander of the doomed mission to Mars that Seven of Nine gets to know three centuries later through his logs, in the Voyager episode "One Small Step."

  118. James B Sikking, whose career of almost 60 years includes co-starring roles in Hill Street Blues and Doogie Howser, MD, appeared in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock as Capt. Styles, the captain of the USS Excelsior, which Scotty sabotages so that the Enterprise can make its escape.
