10 Background Actors In Star Trek Who Got Themselves Noticed

10. Victor Bevine (Star Trek: First Contact)

This unlucky crewman was assimilated with the Borg partial takeover of the Enterprise-E in Star Trek: First Contact. In one of the montages in the film, Bevine's soon-to-be-drone tries desperately to re-tune his phaser rifle as a phalanx of Borg stalk toward him.

He appears here for two reasons. First, Bevine would go on to be a bit player in DS9, Voyager and Enterprise. He appeared in the episodes Things Past, Pathfinder and First Flight. This and his DS9 appearance came in the same year, making this something of his introduction to Star Trek.

The second reason he appears here is that this film was released in 1996 and, in 2020, he is still instantly recognizable because of that facial expression. The man doesn't have a line of dialogue and manages to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

Kudos, Mr. Bevine. Kudos.
