10 Actors Who Have Been On Both Star Trek And Stargate

8. Dwight Schultz

Best known for his portrayal of recurring character Reginald Barclay on Star Trek The Next Generation and Voyager, Dwight was also in a single episode of Stargate SG-1. In the second season episode The Gamekeeper, Schultz plays the titular Keeper, a jealous guardian of a gated community that's kept locked inside inter-connected virtual reality simulators and is desperate for fresh minds to interact with. The character is scheming and somewhat ridiculous, but ultimately entertaining.

Of course it's as the socially awkward Reg Barclay that Schutlz is best known. His portrayal of the stammering engineer is beloved by many a Star Trek fan who has experienced similar social difficulties and prefers to see things through the lens of their own half-imagined world. Reg was reasonably competent at his role on ship, but struggled to relate to his fellow officers and was thus gently shunned and ostracized, especially in regards to his holo-addiction.

Besides these two pillars of the sci-fi television landscape, Schultz is primary a voice actor for animation and video games. His credits range from Ben 10 to World of Warcraft and pretty much everything in between.

Still bitter that Star Trek Enterprise got canned and almost old enough to angrily tell the kids to 'Get Off My Lawn!'
