I have a question about the actress on a recent Voyager episode.
The lady that played the role of the female Q. Was her
name Susie Plakston? I'll say one thing about her....I
found her to be a very attractive woman. There was something
definatley sexy about her, in my opinion that is.
Did anyone feel the same?

Susie Plakston also played Worf's half Klingon lover (The character's name
escapes me) on several episodes of TNG. Hence, the comments on her liking
Klingon females. In my opinion, that scene was the
one clever bit in an otherwise dreadful show.

And yes, she is very attractive

Don't forget that she was also Dr. Selar a vulcan doctor on TNG.

Susie Plaxton was the female Q in that Voyager episode, and the name of
the Klingon character she portrayed, Worf's lover was K'Lar. I'm not
certain if the spelling is correct however.

The official spelling is K'Ehleyr

Quark's wife was rather attractive, too, IMHO.

I agree she is one hot redhead. In addition to playing Dr. Selar and
K'ler (Worf's mate) she was on the series Love and War and is
currently in Mad About You as Jamie's Obstetritian and Pauls sister's
lesbian lover on the show.

I think I saw the name spelled somewhere before like K'eyhlar. She was also a
lab assistant scientist in either the first or second season of a ST:TNG
episode (don't know exactly which one) before her appearances as K'eyhlar.
This Q episode is her 3rd ST character, I believe, unless she popped up in a
DS9 episode somewhere.

Guest actors for ST tend to pop up again and again because the producers and
directors like them so much, but don't want them to reprise the same role.

Susan Gibney (not sure of the last name) played Geordi's holodeck love interest
(the warp drive expert) for 2 episodes and then came back as an Admiral or
Captain in the DS9 2-part episode where the Changelings invaded Earth.

Brock Peters (the Starfleet admiral in ST4 and ST6) was also in the DS9
2-part changelings invasion episodes as Sisko's father.

James Sloyan played the grown-up Alexander Klingon in a TNG episode and also a
scientist interested in Odo in a DS9 episode.

Anyone else care to list other actors/actresses who've played multiple ST
roles?

You're very close. Suzie Plakson.

woman.

I agree, Plakson is both attractive and sexy. And she is unsurpassed in
her delivery of cutting sarcastic lines.

Plakson's first Star Trek appearance was in STNG episode "The Schizoid
Man". She played Dr. Selar, who was a Vulcan.
Later she played K'Ehleyr, Worf's half Klingon/half human mate (and
mother of his son, Alexander) in STNG episodes "The Emissary" and
"Reunion".

Suzi Plakson has appeared in many theater productions including a
national tour of "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off" where she played
opposite Anthony Newley. She appeared in the film, "My Stepmother is an
Alien", played a regular role on "Love and War" and did guest spots on
"Beauty and the Beast" and "Murphy Brown". Currently she has a
recurring role on "Mad About You" where she plays Paul's sister's
female partner.

That character FYI was played by Mary Kay Adams. Ironically
that Klingon acted more like her B5 character than what she did on B5.

Dr. Selar was the name. (And looking it up it seems that I actually
spelled it right.)

I saw Ms. Plakson at a con some years ago, and somehow the tube
does not do a good job at showing just how tall she is.

Isn't she also playing a lesbian in a revealing Pay Cable show.
(showtime I believe.) ??

P.S. Selar should come back..

I think my vote would go to B'lanna Torres as the best looking Klingon.
And don't use the excuse that since she is half-Klingon/half-Human I can't
vote for her as a Klingon. Using that reason, K'lahr is disqualified as
well.

Diana Muldaur - Dr. Katherine Pulaski (TNG) Dr. Anne Mulhall and Dr.
Miranda Jones (TOS)

Charles Macaulay - Landru and Prefect Jaris of Argelia (TOS)

William Campbell - Koloth (TOS & DS9) and Trelane (TOS)

Malachai Throne - Commodore Mendez (The Menagerie) and Senator Pardek
(TNG's Unification)

Eddie Paskey - Mr. Leslie (TOS) and one of the bad guy guards (in A Taste
Of Armageddon)

Clint Howard - Balok (Corbomite Maneuver) and some homeless guy (in DS9's
Past Tense)

Skip Homeier - Nazi leader (Patterns of Force) and space hippie Dr Sevrin
(The Way To Eden)

Majel Barrett - Number One (The Cage) and Nurse/Dr. Chapel (TOS, movies)
and Lwaxana Troi (TNG and DS9)

Tim Russ - Voyager's Tuvok, unnamed bridge guy in ST:Generations, Klingon
in DS9's Invasive Procedures) and a terrorist in TNG's Starship mine. I
would have to say that Tim is the only guy to appear on screen with all the
captains (though he may not have been on screen with Picard, I can't
remember). In any case, he's the only person I can think of who has
appeared in all versions of Trek (if you count the first part of
Generations as part of the TOS).

Tony Todd - Kurn (TNG and DS9) and the older Jake Sisko (with a fantastic
performance) in DS9's The Visitor.

There are so many!! Who could possibly name them all!

I think Torres is very attractive (and Crusher (and Kira (and
Kes (and Dax)))), but my wife and I are in absolute agreement that
K'eyhlar is the sexiest female character in any Star Trek anywhere,
anytime.

Also the Romulan Admiral Jarok on TNG, and an alien scientist on
Voyager.

Some months ago I saw him in an old episode of Planet of the Apes.
Great actor.

I asked this a while back and never got a reply...would anyone like me
to make a web page listing all the multiple guest appearances people
like Sloyan and Plakson have done? I think it would be kinda fun to do,
plus I have the time and the resources to do it.

I always find it interesting to see actors or actresses we barely
recognize in their first appearance, but once we do recognize them as a
major character in some episode, we're surprised and delighted to see
them in previous episodes (like Armin Shimerman, our lovable Quark,
being one of the original Ferengi in the very first Ferengi appearance
in the ST:TNG sales of war weapons episode).

I'm sure others know of Teri Hatcher (of Lois and Clark fame) was once
an ensign in charge of a transporter pad.

There has been (had been?) a FAQ that periodically (maybe monthly?) gets
posted to the newsgroups detailing all of the actors and actresses
who've appeared in Star Trek and all of their Star Trek characters and
other TV/movie appearances. Someone keeps track of it, but it'd be
kinda cool to have a web site with this information also, if you can get
permission from the FAQ keeper to duplicate his material.

The FAQ sheet is quite extensive, covering every version of Star Trek
ever to grace to TV and movie screen.
