10 Actors Who Were In The Orville AND Star Trek

2. Tony Todd

The late, great Tony Todd appeared as the Moclan Dojin in the episode Sanctuary. He represents the male-dominated Moclans who find females abhorrent, thus the discovery of an all-female Moclan colony results in a Planetary Union council meeting.

Todd is well-known to Trekkies as Kurn and Jake Sisko, while also appearing under heavy latex as an Alpha Hirogen hunter as well. Despite the make-up, Todd was instantly recognisable thanks to his iconic voice.

As Dojin, he had to walk the line between diplomacy and intimidation, reminding the other council members of their reliance on the Moclans, lest they lean on the side of the female colony. Sanctuary represents not only a large number of Trek guests in The Orville but also a move toward deeper character exploration than had been previously showcased.
