Our clear winner, just by virtue of the number of different roles he has played in the Star Trek universe is Vaughn Armstrong. Some of you are nodding your heads, maybe some of you are thinking no, there is another (and if you are then please drop a note in the comments), while others are doing yet more who, oh, that guy faces. Lets just list this out deep breath: Captain Korris in Heart of Glory, Next Generation, Korath in Star Trek the Experience (short), Gul Danar, a Cardassian in the DS9 story Past Prologue, Seskal, another, totally different Cardassian in The Dogs of War/ When It Rains also DS9, Telek RMor, a Romulan from the past communicating through a wormhole in the poignant Voyager story Eye Of the Needle, Lansor/Two Of Nine in Survival Instinct, also Voyager, he was a Vidiian Captain in Fury, Alpha Hirogen in Flesh and Blood, Korath (again) in Endgame, lending canon to the character, all Voyager. Not content with playing a plethora of different and well crafter charaters, he also took on a well-earned recurring role as Maxwell Forrest in various episodes of Enterprise. But the chameleonic actor wasnt to be kept just to one part, oh no, he was also a Klingon Captain in Sleeping Dogs, a Kreetassan Captain in A Night in Sickbay, and his own alter ego Maximillian Forrest in In a Mirror Darkly, all Enterprise episodes. Plus a couple of computer game voice roles. For one man to have played so many different characters and still manage to make each one unique deserves some kind of recognition and since we cant have any awards for this we at least had to make him our number 1. So thanks Vaughn, and congratulations. Is there another actor out there who deserves to be on the list? Are you currently seething that Kurtwood Smith didnt make it in instead of Michael Dorn?
