Matt 0 Posted March 25, 2005 I was just thinking about the various actors whom have had success in their acting career since they left their series/movie of Star Trek. There's not really a lot. The ones that come to mind are: Patrick Stewart, William Shatner, Jeri Ryan, Armin Shimerman, Christian Slater. Can't think of any more at the moment, add who you think and how they've been successful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BakulaBabe 2 Posted March 25, 2005 Brent Spiner has done well in plays, TV, and movies. He starred in the Broadway revival of "1776", was in the movies "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge", "The Master of Disguise", and "Out to Sea", and the TV shows "Law and Order: Criminal Intent", Friends", and "Joey". (And Enterprise.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angela 1 Posted March 26, 2005 Nana Visitor (I hope thats the way to spell it) was in Chicago and few other things Alexander Siddig was in a couple of movies and a few other things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted March 26, 2005 Leonard Nimoy did some directing - got a lot of acclaim for Three Men and a Baby, Jonathan Frakes also has been a successful director. Others who have turned to directing - Lavar Burton, Robert Duncan McNeill and Roxann Dawson. I think Kate Mulgrew has also had a lot of stage success. I think Patrick Stewart has had the most noticeable career because of the X Men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted March 26, 2005 John De Lancie has kept quite busy although he was busy before Trek in a variety of roles. Terry Farrell has also done well, she was on a sitcom for some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted March 26, 2005 Marina Sirtis and Michael Dorn both seem to be making a number of low budget and direct to video movies. Michael Dorn was directing a little too. Wil Wheaton has gotten back into acting a little but he is having success as an author now. Gates McFadden hasn't really done anything other than the TNG movies since the series ended. And regarding Brent Spiner, don't forget he just signed on to play a recurring character in the new series Threshold. Rene Auberjonois is on Boston Legal - the same series as William Shatner is currently in. Nicole DeBoer in Dead Zone. Colm Meaney has been quite busy including a part in a new Fox series that he just signed on to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted March 26, 2005 While some Trek actors get some minor work in B movies and such (not including Trek actors who were very successful before Trek i.e. Patrick Stewart,William Shatner, Rene Auberjoinis), most former Trek actors eke out an existence by appearing at cons just about every weekend.

Jaz4stfguy 0 Posted March 26, 2005 I just recently watched "Conspiracy Theory" on VHS, featuring Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. Its a great flick, and it did feature a ST actor, none other than Patrick Stewart. He played the "heavy" role as Dr. Jonas, programming people to be assassins. Sort of like "The Bourne Identity" with Matt Damon. << Another great film. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
