I thought I would start to put a list together of actors who have done more than one sci-fi series. I actually suprised myself with how many I came up with, but I'm sure there are many more. For simplicity, I am not including series like "The Outer Limits" or "The Twilight Zone" since just about everybody has done those. Here's what I have so far - only the one-episode characters list which episode they were in:
Andreas Katsulas - G'Kar (B5) - Tomalak (TNG) - Vissian Captain (ENT "Cogenitor") Robert Picardo - EMH (VOY) - Agent Richard Woolsey (SG1) Tucker Smallwood - Xindi Primate (ENT) - Admiral Bullock (VOY "In the Flesh") - David Endawi (B5 "Matters of Honor") - Commodore Glen Van Ross (SAAB) Daniel Dae Kim - Corporal Chang (ENT) - Gotana-Retz (VOY "Blink of an Eye") - John Matheson (B5:Crusade) Majel Barrett - computer voice (ST:various) - Lwaxana Troi (ST:various) - Christine Chapel (TOS) - Lady Morella (B5 "Point of No Return") - Dr. Julianne Belman (EFC) Jolene Blalock - T'Pol (ENT) - Ishta (SG1 "Birthright") Michael Shanks - Daniel Jackson (SG1) - Remiel/Balance of Judgement (Andromeda "Day of Judgement, Day of Wrath") - Gabriel (Andromeda "Star-Crossed") John DeLancie - Q (ST:various) - Col. Frank Simmons (SG1) - "Officer" (Battlestar Galactica "Experiment in Terra") - Uncle Sid (Andromeda) David DeLuise - Peter Shanahan (SG1 "Chimera") - manager of Buddys (Seaquest "Vapors") Michael DeLuise - Tony Piccolo (Seaquest) - Nick Marlowe (SG1 "Wormhole X-Treme!") Peter DeLuise - Dagwood (Seaquest) - *various* (SG1) - Calvino (Andromeda "Trusting the Gordian Maze") - ** also director of SG1 and some Andromeda
This is good start, but I can't find any crossovers with Star Wars or Farscape. I've heard that Scott Bakula was in ESB as a bridge officer, but I can't find any confirmation of it. Of course, I was abolutely shocked to find that DeLancie was in BSG! I didn't think I'd be able to tie that series in. Also, I didn't include the Star Trek Only crossovers - that would need its own list!
Anybody want to add more?

I can safely say that this is not true. Bakula was not in "The Empire Strikes Back."

It's tenuous but the bloke who played Kivas Fajo (sp?) on TNG played a filmaker in the SG1 two parter "Heros". Also, I don't know the actors name but the bloke who played the psycotic, neat-freak hologram also made an appearance on B5, (I think) as one of the deseased telepaths on Babylon 5, the ones being held by Edgers Industries. He also made an appearance in Alien Ressurection, but I don't think movies count. If memory serves I think Frakes and the bloke who plays Flox played themselves on some teen sci-fi show too.

Judge actually appeared in two episodes of Andromeda, "The Knight, Death and the Devil" and "Day of Judgement, Day of Wrath".

I saw a Babylon 5 blooper reel once that had a clip from Majel Barret's guest appearance. She was walking toward a sliding door and the prop guys forgot to open it, causing her to walk right into it. To which she said, "I'm used to that."

I think she was used as a stunt double multiple times on TNG. And I know it's not sci-fi, but she's also the person Austin Powers punches in the face at the beginning of the first movie. You know, the "that's not a girl! That's a man, man!" thing.

I thought I had seen Brian Thompson in something recently, so I checked IMDb (I guess I was wrong, because there's nothing listed that I've seen lately), and it turns out that he was in The Terminator, also.

I think he was also on "The X-Files", as the 1963 version of the Cancer Man, and also as an FBI agent (wasn't he Cancer Man's son, or something?).

That would be very appreciated, we do those things all the time in Stockholm.

They'd rented an old cinema so they could sell strong beer and cider as much as they wanted. And cocktail wieners... *sniff*

Don't forget Michael Biehn too. Plus the woman who played Vaz (don't make me spell the whole thing!) in Aliens turned up again in T2 as the foster mother and the circle is complete...of course Michael Biehn also did Abyss with Cameron too. I guess some directors just like working with some people as often as possible...not that Biehn was originally cast for Aliens but that's another story.
Back to TV land I just caught part of an episode of the X-Files, on which I heard a familiar voice. Took me a while to recognise him with a beard and no Cardassian ridges but it was definatly Garak. I don't know the title of the episode but it involved a bloke who turned into a shapeshifting wolf at night.

Janette Goldstein. She was also in "Titanic" as the poor Irish mother. I think she was the only woman Cameron worked with repeatedly that he DIDN'T marry.
She was also in "Star Trek: Generations" as a crewmember of the Enterprise-B for the Aliens / Trek crossover.

"Passing Through Gethsemane." Early third season. Stunning portrayal of faith for a show written and produced by an avowed atheist. And an interesting discussion of the ethics of criminal punishment. Dourif was also in the original Dune movie.
His character on Voyager was widely seen among B5 fans as a ripoff of his appearance on B5.
Speaking of which, has anybody mentioned Robert Foxworth? Recurring role as General Hague on B5, and played Admiral Leyton in DS9 "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost."

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
I believe Brad Dourif was also in Myst III: Exile, but that's neither television nor movie, and only qualifies as sci-fi by the most expansive definition. Played yet another psychotic. Nicole DeBoer was in Cube, which probably qualifies as sci-fi. I don't think Robert Foxworth actually appeared on B5 more than once, so it's not really a recurring role, but that's incidental. Oh, yes, and Rene Aubojonois was in an ep of Stargate.
Posted by Reverend (Member # 335) on :
Dourif always seams to go for unhinged characters. Piter (the dune character) was a few sticks short of a bundle, as was Wormtongue (who had surprisingly similar motives as Piter, oddly enough). Of course he's also noted for playing the mortal body and later the voice of serial killer Chucky in the Child's Play movies. So i think this is more an actor's choise of role/casting director thing than the Voyager writers ripping off JMS.
Sliding off topic for a second, does anyone have any clue as to what the latest B5 project is about? Last I heard it was reffered to as B5:TMoS, I wonder what that means? The Master of Spoo? The Movement of Shadows?
Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :
JMS has stayed uncharacteristically tight-lipped about the project (only dropping the vaguest of hints that do little more than remind you this is the same guy who wrote lines like "you are the hand" and other such obfuscatory Zen dialogue), but it's probably a feature film.
As for what TMoS means, I'm putting my money on "The Moaning of Susan". B)

The guy who played Braxton II on "Voyager" was also on B5 as some major or colonel or something for an episode or two. And he was in the last episode of "Quantum Leap", from what I learned from "Series ?".

He appeared in two episodes: "All Alone In The Night" and "Points of Departure," and I think he had a voiceover (background comm chatter) in a third. He was more of a background character--frequently mentioned but seldom actually seen.
Originally posted by PsyLiam:

More because of the theme of trying to control a psychotic using some sort of telepathic technique. In B5, a murderer's personality is suppressed and replaced with a fake, service-oriented one, and in Voyager, Tuvok mind-melded with him. The timing didn't help either--B5 ep in Nov 95, Voyager in Feb 96.
I never saw the Voyager episode, so I can't comment firsthand, but I remember people talking about it.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this overlooked numerous Trek crossover actor (4 series)...but Scott MacDonald! He was Tosk, SubCommander N'Vek -- oddly in episodes originally airing a week apart. Then Rollins, Goran'Agar and now a semi-regular on Enterprise as "Xindi-Reptilian"/"Reptilian Commander".

I sit corrected! I never caught that that was him in "Points of Departure".
Funny, how we don't have many or any from Farscape. All I can come up with on my own is Claudia Black, in "Pitch Black". David Franklin was apparently Braca and the Maitre D' in "Matrix Reloaded", but that's an absurdly minor role. Paul Goddard (Stark) was Agent Brown in "The Matrix". He was also in Babe, though I would never have recognized him in that role after Stark. That's not sci-fi, of course, I just think it's interesting that Hugo Weaving was also in Babe and The Matrix. But then I suppose all of that (and Lord of the Rings) were filmed in Australia and New Zealand, so it's less of a surprise.
Robert Foxworth was in an ep of "Outer Limits". As was, I now recall, Bruce Boxleitner. We just need Foxworth in the Farscape miniseries and he will have run the proverbial gamut.
Oh, and Nim, I do believe MarianLH is already married. Careful, you might annoy someone powerful. Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

I suspect that the reason we don't see a lot of "Farscape" actors in other stuff is that the other stuff is primarily American, and the "Farscape" actors were Australian. I could be wrong, though.

I heard the same thing about the title. Maybe it means "The Mystery of Straczynski" . He also said in an usegroup interview that he wanted to wait until the Star Wars Prequels are over so he can fully capitalize on the new technologies employed in the last film. He said to expect an announcement from Warner Bros. towards the end of May. Another coy reference he made was to the 2.35:1 aspect ratio of film so like Cartman said it looks to be a feature film project. That's about it though.
Maybe "Firefly's" transition to the big screen inspired him to do a B5 film as well.

I got that beat. The one and only actor to appear in both a Star Trek series and Star Wars movie.
Clive Revill played Sir Guy of Gisborne in "Q-Pid" and was the first Emporer Palpatine shown in the hologram in "The Empire Strikes Back".

Clive Revill played Sir Guy of Gisborne in "Q-Pid" and was the first Emporer Palpatine shown in the hologram in "The Empire Strikes Back".
You mean "the first Emperor Palpatine heard in the hologram in "The Emptire Strikes Back". The visual was a puppet. Therefore, Clive Revill never "appeared" in Star Wars.
He did voices in Transformers though. Which is (sort of) sci-fi.

A puppet? I heard it was played by a woman with a chimp's eyes superimposed over the image.

Okay, so what do all these people have in common with each other, other than appearing in something with Shatner?? There were all in some D.O.A. sci-fi series that ran all of 6 episodes in 1993/94 called "Space Rangers". Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
