10 Actors Who Played More Than One Character In Star Trek
7. Malachi Throne
Another one of those who, oh, that guy actors is Malachi Throne. Few can be said to bridge the old and the new Star Trek in such an odd fashion. He was on set with Leonard Nimoy in both his first ever and last Star Trek television episodes (not counting the new movies) and was originally offered the role of Dr McCoy but turned it down. In the original pilot The Cage he provided the voice for the telepathic jail keepers and later took on the role of Commodore Jose Mendez in The Menagerie from the original series. The obvious link between those two episodes is interesting, but he then rather randomly got a role on The Next Generation as Senator Pardek in the Unification two parter. Pardek had worked for years to unify Vulcan and Romulus only to launch an attack on Vulcan that was foiled by the Enterprise with Picard at the helm. Although hardly canon it should be noted that he was also cast as Korough in the New Voyages episode In Harms Way
I.T. Consultant, technophile and Doctor Who fan. I like to talk about tech, take films apart and make excuses for Doctor Who's continuity errors. No other show has the power to make me feel like a big kid.
