It is the same guy. I wonder why he goes my different names? Maybe the
actor's been cloned?!?

I thought the voice was familar. But I didn't make a Martok connection,
because the General growls so much.
Well, if Jeffrey Combs can play Brunt and Weyound, why not?

That's weird. It's hard to tell they are the same person.

Hertzler played the part very well, very different from Martok. In fact,
his voice change made me think it WAS a different actor, he did it so well.
I'll bet Hertzler just took his middle name (which I ssume to be the "G" in
J G Hertzler) because he was playing a different character. He did the same
with Sisko's Vulcan captain in the DS9 pilot movie (John Noah Hertzler).

resemblance in face and voice, but Laas struck me as seeming
quite a bit younger (and somewhat slimmer) than I think
John Hertzler is, based on his previous Trek appearances and
a non-alien role he had in the syndicated cable "Zorro" series
in the early 90's. I wonder if "J.G. Hertzler" has a son...
