10 Times Star Trek Actors Got Arrested

6. Andy Dick

Star Trek Voyager EMH
CBS Media Ventures

Andy Dick appeared in the Star Trek: Voyager episode Message in a Bottle, wherein he played the new Emergency Medical Hologram. Together with Robert Picardo, the two men became a comedic duo who single-handedly saved the USS Prometheus from a Romulan takeover and informed Starfleet of Voyager’s continued survival in the Delta Quadrant.

There are many different occasions in which Dick has found himself in front of a judge. He has struggled with drug addiction for decades, resulting in numerous counts of indecent exposure, lewd behaviour and otherwise inappropriate conduct. He was once dragged off the Jimmy Kimmel Live show by the feet for trying to grope and kiss Ivanka Trump.

He has repeatedly been charged with criminal damage, including urinating on and destroying comedy club property and driving under the influence, all the while attempted to explain away his erratic behaviour by describing it as part of his act, despite repeated requests to desist. At a comedy roast of Pamela Anderson he fondled her breasts while claiming he was her plastic surgeon, and he was fired from production on the film Vampire Dad due to continued inappropriate behaviour, which he blamed on his medication.
