10 Actors You Didn't Know Were In Star Trek

2. Paul Wight (The Big Show)

Star Trek is all about spectacle, seeing things you’ve never seen before, and there’s not much more spectacular than WWE behemoth Paul Wight, better known as The Big Show. The former world champion isn’t given a great deal of character to work with as a massive green slave trader, but it’s a treat to see the colossus outside of a WWE context.

We are granted little backstory for Show’s slave trader - he’s an unscrupulous alien creature with a lust for cash and at least two former wives. Really, though, as in his wrestling career, The Big Show doesn’t need to put in a whole lot of effort to make a big impact. He’s a huge, muscular figure with a penchant for mugging it up in front of the cameras. Once you’ve painted him green to boot, his job is basically done.

While they may not have trusted Show with as much of a part as they did The Rock, the Star Trek world got their money’s worth from the WWE, with Tom Lister Jr (one time Hulk Hogan rival Zeus) making an appearance in Enterprise. Something for the current roster to think about, perhaps.
