If you think about it, only two Star Trek actors have survived to find real work after star trek: Patrick Stewart and Jeri Ryan. Why can't most star trek actors ever get another job after trek?
Why does Star Trek kill actors careers?

- Start date
Jonathan Frakes (Riker) is more of a director now & LaVar Burton still has Reading Rainbow

and what is it with ST Captains and thier roles, i saw a movie in which Stewart was hopping around in a pink tutu... wtf is that all about?
William Shatner as what? The Big Giant Head in 3 episodes of 3rd Rock? Leonard Nimoy as a guest on The Simpsons? Come on, they've hardly done anything.
Typecasting, it happens to many actors in long-running TV series unless they work hard to get parts against type in movies or on other shows.
Besides, Michael Dorn is weasel! so he's doing OK

Well, Patrick Stewart is Prof X in the X-men movies... the majority of the cast weren't huge megastars to begin with anywho.
My theory... Star Trek is more storywriters than acting anyways.

That's because people concentrate on Star Trek for some reason. Just look at it this way, what percentage of TV actors have more than 2 successful TV shows? Or make it big on the big screen? The percentage is VERY low.
TJ HOOKER for 1, and here are the rest crackhead.

If you go look up William Shatner on IMDB, there's a lot of stuff there. Most of it you've never heard of. A lot of it is appearances as himself, or hosting some TV show. He hasn't had any real recognizable roles since Star Trek... nothing like Patrick Stewart's Professor X.

Look at Mark Hamil and Star Wars. He got typecase as a Jedi. There aren't too many roles for Jedi.
However he did make an appearance in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"... lol...

Lead role in TJ Hooker TV series, supporting role in TekWar movies/series, but I'll grant most of his other work has been self-parodying bit parts in movies like Airplane 2, National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon, etc.
Colm Meaney has had a decent non-Trek movie career, LeVar Burton has his edu-TV work. Dorn has done some good voice acting work (Weasel, Fallout 2, narrator for various shows). Wil Wheaton has his own website
He was great as The Joker in the animated Batman series. And, uh, .... he was in a bad Stephen King movie.
LOL
Alot of the actors from TNG do alot of broadway type shows that you never really hear about.
