10 Actors Who Played MANY Roles In The Same Show

10. Brent Spiner - Star Trek

Brent Spiner is of course best remembered for his unforgettable portrayal of Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation, but that's far from the only character he's played across various Trek media.

Spiner also portrayed two other androids modelled after Data's creator Doctor Noonian Soong - Lore and B-4 (the latter appearing in the film Star Trek: Nemesis and making a cameo in disassembled form in Star Trek: Picard).

He's also been given the opportunity to play four separate members of the Soong family: elderly cyberneticist Noonian Soong himself on The Next Generation, his ancestor Arik Soong in Star Trek: Enterprise, and in Star Trek: Picard he portrayed both Noonian Soong's son Altan Inigo Soong and another of his ancestors, Adam Soong.

In The Next Generation's season four episode "Brothers," Spiner even played Data, Lore, and Noonian Soong at the same time in the very same scene, per some digital trickery of course. Incredible.

Spiner is set to reprise the role of Lore in Picard's upcoming third and final season, though it wouldn't surprise anyone if he also pops up as yet one more member of the Soong empire.
