Star Trek Enterprise Cast: Where Are They Now?

Where did these intrepid explorer's hearts take them next?

Star Trek Enterprise ran for four seasons, from 2001 until 2005. Though not the shortest of the spin-offs, it has received undue amount of criticism and hate, largely due to its existence as a prequel rather than a sequel series.

It was the butt of many criticisms that Discovery has received, not least about the issues arising around canon. However, time has been slightly kinder to Enterprise and audiences are coming to see it in a slightly more positive light, all these years later.

The cast that was assembled for the show is both varied and a veritable who's who of the Sci-Fi scene of the time. Many faces that walked the hallways of NX-01 would appear in many contemporary Sci-Fi shows, including Stargate and its various spin-offs.

Some of the names on this list have gone on to have huge careers, both in front of and behind the camera. There are faces that may have only appeared for several brief moments that may make fans take a moment to goggle that they had appeared here so early on. Other faces regrettably have not fared so well in the years that have followed Enterprise's cancellation, though such is the life of actors in Hollywood.

With the renewed current interest in the Star Trek franchise, now is a good time to revisit this short but colourful chapter of Trek history and find out just what the cast of Enterprise is up to these days. Starting with...

17. Seth MacFarlane

This man needs very little introduction. Easily one of the most outspoken Star Trek fans in Hollywood, Seth MacFarlane was once a crew member under Captain Archer, setting sail on the first warp 5 vessel.

MacFarlane is probably the most well known name to have come out of the series, as of course he was already established before it began. Family Guy hit the air in 1999, almost instantly becoming a success, despite setbacks in the beginning.

MacFarlane went on the record asking for a bright and upbeat view of the future when Star Trek Discovery was announced, which was a plea that fell on somewhat deaf ears in year one. So, he went ahead and made his own Star Trek (just without the name!). The Orville has turned into one of the brightest surprises of the last few years, combining the whacky humour that he is known for with a genuinely optimistic view of the future.

He may have only appeared in a grand total of about a minute of screen time, but Seth's passion for Star Trek is legendary. As it has contributed to so much of the content he has created, it is only right to include him here!
