10 Actors You Didn't Know Were In Star Trek
It's one of sci fi's most beloved franchises - but you can boldly go and forget these guest stars!
As one of the longest running entertainment franchises in history, it stands to reason that Star Trek has had its share of notable guest stars. From young up and comers getting their start in the business to jobbing actors making ends meet to celebrities from other fields making an offbeat cameo, the Star Trek universe is welcoming of all comers.
What’s more, Star Trek is such an incredible cult phenomenon that some stars don’t wait for the call-up - they contact the creators directly and all but beg their way onto the show. For some stars, appearing on the ship, in uniform, or in heavy alien makeup is an ultimate bucket list experience. The quality of the performance or the episode is by the by - they just want to be involved.
It’s hard to keep count of all the now-major actors who have done a turn in one of the various Star Trek strands, and there are some among the ranks you’d be astonished to see. Just as Gene Roddenberry envisioned - from comedians to sports stars to legendary rockers, the Star Trek universe is accepting of all comers.
