10 Best Sci-Fi Movies Starring Star Trek Actors (That Aren't Star Trek)

10. Ratchet & Clank (Armin Shimerman)

Insomniac Games' planet-hopping PS2 gems were given the reboot treatment in 2016, titled Ratchet & Clank much like the original, and with it came a tie-in film of the same name. Many of the film's cast members reprise their roles from the game series, including Armin Shimerman, who voices Chairman Drek's aptly named head scientist, Doctor Nefarious.

Throughout the entire seven-year run of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Shimerman donned heavy prosthetics to play Quark, the endlessly entertaining Ferengi scoundrel who runs a less-than-respectable bar on the Deep Space Nine station. Despite the two characters being similar in nature, you wouldn't be blamed for not knowing that the cackling, dangerously insane Nefarious and the weaselly, quietly conniving Quark have the same voice behind them.

Despite the film taking liberties with the canon of the series (chiefly, the fact that Doctor Nefarious originally doesn't show up until the third game), Shimerman's menacing voice acting makes this twisted character's inclusion an amusing addition to the classic series's reimagining.
