A lot of the actors who play various aliens often appear quite a few times as different individuals throughout the shows.

For instance, Colm Meaney played Lieutenant O'Brien and Chief O'Brien. Aaron Eisenberg also played a Kazon once in VOY and Spot was both male and female at various points.

Armin Shimmerman was also one of the one-and-done Ferengi from one of the early TNG eps.

Stephen Hawking while visiting the set of TNG once asked to be taken out of his wheel chair and placed in the Captains seat, he almost never gets moved around in public.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I don't care who you are. How many people actually get to sit in the Captain's Chair?

Gul Moset (spelling?), the first time you ever get to see the Cardies??
Wasn't he also in 'Time's Arrow' as a card player/gunslinger?
