Star Trek Deep Space Nine Duet Harris Yulin

Harris Yulin appeared in the dual role of Aamin Maritza and Gul Darhe'el in the Deep Space Nine episode Duet. The episode is credited as one of the strongest in that show's entire run, with Yulin's performance as the tortured Martiza's receiving special mention for helping to truly raise the episode.

Yulin had a long, varied career in film, television, and stage. He both acted and directed, working with many other Star Trek alumni through the years. He continued to act well into the 2000s, appearing in shows like Ozark, while he had earlier appeared in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

Yulin's list of credits is immense, with his contribution to the entertainment industry being enormous. His sole Trek credit remains one of the all-time great guest roles across any of the iterations. Yulin was married twice and had one daughter, Claire Lucido, who predeceased him in 2021. 

Among his many acting credits is a turn as Willy Loman in Death Of A Salesman at the Gate Theatre in Dublin, Ireland.
