If we include movie series, there's Ron Perlman. Alien: Resurrection Blade II Star Trek: Nemesis Beauty And the Beast (TV)
Armin Shimerman, of course, has been on Star Trek: TNG Star Trek: DS9 BTVS SG-1 Beauty and the Beast (TV)
and... probably more stuff.
Brad Dourif X-Files VOY LoTR B5 ??
Theodore Bikel Worf's father on TNG Ivanova's Uncle/Rabbi on B5
And for actors who played on different Star Trek series, how could we forget J.G. Hertzler Jeffrey Coombs (also on B5) Mark Lenard

Bikel was Ranger One Lenonn in In The Beginning, too.
There's also David Warner, who played Chancellor Gorkon in TUC, Picard's torturer in Chain of Command, and Gajic the Seeker on B5, and Tony Todd as Worf's brother Kurn, old Jake in The Visitor, and Cpt. Anderson in Call To Arms.

Brian "Mouth Abs" Thompson, as X-Files' Bounty Hunter, Klingon in "Star Trek - Generations", blue-red alien in an early DS9 season (don't know which, no IMDB here!) and he was a Jem'Hadar in an early "Dominion"-ep, as well as a merchant in Bab5.
Both Tony Todd and Brian "Nice Night For A Wa-BLAURGH!!" Thompson have starred in "Xena", though that may not be Sci-Fi.
I don't think Kevin Bacon has guest-starred in any Sci-Fi show.

And St. John Talbot in ST5.

I believe he also was on the X-Files, Vietnam vet who couldn't sleep and did funny things to peoples' dreams? Can't remember the name...

To add to the ever-growing appearances of Armin Shimmerman, he also played someone on The Invisible Man from the late 90's, I think who helped with the Quicksilver project.

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.
To add another one, Dwight Schultz (TNG's Barclay) had a guest spot in an episode of "SG-1". And, of course, he was on "The A-Team", but I guess that doesn't count.

Oh, and I just thought of another "SG-1" crossover (what can I say, I've been watching the DVDs of the early seasons recently). There was a guy who played a reporter who was on to the Stargate project, and he promptly got run over by a car. 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?).

TSN: "and it turns out that he was in The Terminator, also."
Next to Bill Paxton with the blue mohican. Strange that both Paxton and Lance Henriksen played in that movie, only to meet again on "Aliens". Or is it? Da da dumm...
Arnold gutted Thompson in "Terminator", then Thompson goes on to reenact him on Universal Studios' "Conan the Barbarian" Show Tour. Still no sign of Kevin Bacon.

Brian Thompson is the most famous graduate of the Central Washington University theater department. It must be something to base a career on a lack of an allergic reaction to latex.
And born in Ellensburg too, I find out only just now. Yet there is no mention of this anywhere in town? I have an idea for the best film festival ever, all of a sudden.

That would be very appreciated, we do those things all the time in Stockholm. There's a movie club called Super-8 that has regular festivals with themes, last time it was "Club Super-8 goes to hell" and we got to see old low-budget scary movies with vampires, neanderthal rapists, alien monsters in Lapland and something by Russ Meyer, strange enough. 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.
