Tom Morello is one of the founding members of Rage Against The Machine. He is also a huge Trekkie and has the honouring of having appeared twice in the franchise in two completely different roles. In 1998, he contacted Rick Berman and asked if he could appear in Star Trek: Insurrection. Berman agreed, as his son was a huge fan of Rage Against The Machine.

Morello appeared as a Son'a officer in Insurrection, which he said delighted him. He got to meet Patrick Stewart on the set, fulfilling a dream ever since he had first started watching The Next Generation. Having said that, he was in such heavy makeup that no one could recogni\e him, so he asked if he could return.

Next time, he appeared as the human crewman Mitchell in the sixth-season episode of Star Trek: Voyager, Good Shepherd. He gets a small speaking part, as Captain Janeway travels down to deck 15, asks him how he is, and then accepts his directions when she gets a little turned around.
