10 Actors Who Appeared In Star Trek AND Star Wars

Ron Perlman was, of course, one of the scariest looking baddies in Star Trek, with the vampiric make-up covering his face for him to become the Reman Viceroy, under Shinzon. His trademark growl shone through, allowing him to be instantly recognised in Star Trek: Nemesis, even if the audience never did get to see his face properly.

In something of a theme, his face would not appear in Star Wars either, but rather his voice would. He played Gha Nachkt, a Trandoshan Salvage Ship captain in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He takes a ship that contains R2-D2, and even manages to keep the droid a secret from Anakin Skywalker.

However, the trader gets a little cocky, and when he tries to sell the droid to General Grevious for a higher price than agreed, his unceremoniously stabbed in the back.
