Star Trek VI - was René Auberjonois playing Col. West?

[Pandaren]

I was watching the scene just after the Klingons arrest Cpt. Kirk and Dr. McCoy. The Klingon Ambassador (Kamarag) is b!tching to the President of the Federation concering the alleged assasination of Chancellor Gorkon. After Kamarag leaves, a couple Star Fleet brass show up, and Col. West presents a "plan" to rescue Kirk and McCoy.

The voice is unmistakable - as first I thought, "that sounds like Odo..." and then I realized that Col. West was René Auberjonois. I think. Am I right?

VI is my favorite Trek movie. Awesome plot and great way to end the series Nemesis seems so lame in comparison.

According to IMDB, he is.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

IMDB says you're right.

 

[LethalWolfe]

Yes, you are correct. Also, off the top of my head, the woman who played Dr. Polaski<sp?> in TNG appear in an original Star Trek episode, the guy who played Sisco's dad was in one or two of the pre-TNG based movies (as an admiral I think), and I think the guy who played Tuvac appeared in a TNG or DS9 episode before landing the role in Voyager.

The guy who played Neelix on Voyager appeared as a Ferengi on Enterprise. Lots of ST actors moving from series to series.

 

[Pandaren]

Thanks Guys

actor for tuvok was originally going to play geordi, but levar yoinked that role from him.

sucks for him getting stuck on the crap series known as voyager instead of tng.

who is the only actor to play a romulan, vulcan and a klingon?

 

[jagilbertvt]

I believe "Tuvac" was in ST:Generations, on the Enterprise B.

Mark Lenard? I know he played a Romulan and Vulcan, don't know about the Klingon bit.

 

[morkinva]

Yep Lenard is right, he was a klingon in ST the motion picture

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Ok, how about, does anyone know what actor plays the lone surviving Klingon is in Star Trek III?

And yes, people go from series to series and from generation to the next.
Off the top of my head,
James Cromwell(played Cochrane in First Contact) was in 1st contact, Enterprise, DS9 and Voyager.
The guy that played Sisko's Dad was Admiral Cartright in the Original Movies, i belive he 1st appeared in ST4.
Jeffrey Combs, played several rolls in DS9 including Weyoun, and Liquidator Brunt. He is also the Andorion Commander in Enterprise, and has had several rolls in Voyager.
Tim Russ(Tuvok) has played tuvok, he was random crew on the Enterprise B, played a Maqui in ds9, and was also Tuvok in the Mirror, Mirror universe in ds9.
Robert Duncan McNeill (Tom Paris) was in Voyager, and played a Cadet in TNG that got booted out.
Armin Shimmerman(Quark) was in DS9 and was the person that came up with the Ferengi, and was the 1st ferengi in the TNG episode called The last Outpost.
Majel Barrett Roddenberry, played Lwaxanna Troi in TNG and DS9, and was nurse Chapel in the original series.
Tony Todd played Kurn, worfs brother, and played an older Jake Sisko in DS9.

Thanks a lot, now i want to watch all the star trek stuff.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

yes i'm a geek
I can't believe I forgot Michael Dorn, he plays Lt. Worf in TNG, DS9, and Colonel Worf in ST6
also Marc Alaimo, He was the 1st Cardassian, Gul Macett, then became Gul Dukat in DS9.

Star Trek recycles actors like crazy.

correction: SCIFI recycles actors like crazy.

it seems the way to go imho. If I had life to do over, I would've pursued such an acting career in the scifi community.
