Yep.

I was watching Season 3 of Murder She Wrote recently and within the space of few episode there was Captain Janeway, Sulu, Odo, Geordi LaForge, and of course Jessica's nephew was a security officer in FC and INS!

I don't really like DS9 but Odo (Rene Auberjonois) is great in Boston Legal.

He was great in The Practice where I think he played a different judge going on about the 'monkeys on the backs' of the criminals!

I remember Robert Picardo in Gremilns 2 back in 1990.

Klingon Hamlet

Tom Paris was in the ultra-epic Masters of the Universe (with Dolph Lundgren and Courtney Cox).

Alexander Siddig (Bashir) had a few small roles---tiny one in Reign of Fire, substantial and enjoyable one in Syriana.

Older people will remember him from Benson (134 episodes, 1980-1986) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0041281/

Had a nice role in Kingdom of Heaven.

Terrible in the cinema, the Directors cut is quite good though

As Primeval is now being filmed in Ireland, keep an eye out for Bashir on the streets of Dublin as he joined the cast of that tv show!!

That one was tougher to spot as he had a rug.

Andrew Robinson (Garak) also played a mad barber in one of the Child's Play movies. Could have been the third one, but I didn't kill any kids after, so I'm not sure.

Avery Brooks played a character called Hawk in a bunch of made for TV movies and a TV show in the 80s called Spenser for Hire. Shouty black man with a big gun. Basically Sisko from season four minus the uniform.

Dax was also in Hellraiser 3.

Quark is also in Boston Legal as a judge.

Odo has been in loads of stuff, but I can only remember MASH. He's a lot older than the other cast, so it's shocking when I spot him. The Odo makeup really did wonders for him.

I'd really like to see Martok in something.

Zek was in Law & Order once.

Played the older mentor in American History X also

Zek (Wallace Shawn) is actually one of the most recognisable of all recurring characters in Star Trek.

Given that he was in Princess Bride, Clueless, Toy Story 1-3, Mosters Inc, The incredibles and Family guy. He was in some Woody Allen movie also, I believe

The man has one of the most recognisable voices in TV/Film

I used to love that show when I was a young'un.

Levar Burton (Geordi La Forge) was the lead role in Roots
Brent Spiner (Data) played a part in Independence Day
Patrick Stewart in Robin Hood Men in Tights

Hey!!! Keep your fantasies about Garak and Ensign Kim to yourself!!!!

BTW wasn't Odo in Batman Forever?
And one of the officers on the Excelsior (the one who woke Sulu up) was in The Wizard...

Blowfish

Suprised no one has mentioned Commander Tomalak being G'Kar in Babylon 5 and Sykes in The Fugitive.

[edit] The other one I always forget about is Kirsten Dunst playing the child telepath who reminded Lwaxana of her dead kid.
