Jona ch'Ranni Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 The huge list of actors and actresses that have graced our screens as part of the Star Trek universe adds to the complexity that is our favorite sci-fi show. These secondary characters that add a depth to the stories we love to watch. It's only natural that a stray actor might fill multiple roles. And then there's American actor Jeffrey Combs! This man played multiple memorable characters and his name should be synonymous with Star Trek! On Deep Space 9, he played the Vorta clone Weyoun. His masterful execution of this servant of the Founders and directors of the Jem'Hadar foot soldiers of the Dominion was a character we loved to hate. His weasel-y ways certainly added to many of DS9's episodes. Another character Jeffrey Combs is well-known for also hales from Deep Space 9. Liquidator Brunt was a thorn in Quark's side. As a member of the Ferengi Commerce Authority, he played a role in foiling Quark's plans in multiple episodes. Combs portrayal of the character added a lot of depth to the Ferengi species and helped pull back the curtain on a species that had been introduced before but never fully explored. A third character Jeffrey Combs gave us was that of the Andorian Captain Shran from Star Trek Enterprise. His character, a seeming villain to begin with - expanded our knowledge of the Andorian race. We came to understand them as oppressed, not war-like, and valuable allies in a forming Federation. No matter who your favorite Jeffrey Combs character is, I think we can all agree that his talent certainly brought a lot to our favorite franchise. But the question remains, who's your favorite? 1 Quote

+ Lephi Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 All of his characters are amazing and iconic. This was the hardest decision I've had to make all week, but I ended up going with Brunt simply for the "Brunt.. FCA" intro that was always so masterfully done. Also because I'm a bit biased to the Ferengi. 1 Quote
Alora DeVeau Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 For me, it's just Shran, no contest. I felt like the character really grew through the series and gained depth as it went along. 2 Quote
