KenJennings Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) Gosh this is a tough question. Patrick Stewart seems like the obvious answer, but it really isn't that easy. Picard was too planned, too designed. Picard is the perfect captain, and that perfection often left Patrick Stewart with an easy acting job. Patrick Stewart may be the best Trek actor ever, but Picard was just too awesome for any actor to screw up. I don't know if that even makes sense. Brent Spiner is the ultimate straight man. Showing wonder and awe without showing emotion seems impossible, but he pulled it off. Data might be the most memorable character in Trek history, despite literally being a robot. Brent Spiner brought life to machinery, and he MADE the character. John DeLancie played Q with an omnipotence that came across with simultaneous charm and arrogance, without being annoying. You'd think any character that can snap his fingers and make anything happen would be a boring plot device; not the case. Q was a an awesome character, and John DeLancie did an incredible job developing him. Jeffrey Combs played not one, not two, but three of my favorite secondary characters. Three characters who were entirely different, and who were all played exceptionally. My favorite of these characters was actually Shren from Enterprise. Combs brought the Andorian people to life, and remains the most insidious Vorta and Ferengi in the show. and the winner... Leonard 'Bones' McCoy is the most defined and most memorable character from the original series. Deforest Kelly brought the alien series' greatest dose of humanity in a character. He played the character with incredible heart, because Bones was a character of incredible heart. Shades of bigotry, imperfection, and an old world stubbornness drew a connection from the incongruities of the real Earth to the shining utopia that is framed in Star Trek. Deforest Kelly is the best actor in Star Trek history, and it's not an easy field to top. Honorable mentions: Terry Farrell played Dax with a wit and attitude that is absolutely unforgettable. Connor Trinneer was easily the best of the main cast on Enterprise. Trip Tucker was an extremely emotional, extremely REAL character. Kate Mulgrew and Robert Picardo were the only actors on Voyager that were worthwhile and believable. Both did a great job given bad writing and a horrid supporting cast. Avery Brooks always kicks ass. Diana Muldaur was EASILY a better doctor than Gates McFadden. It was a mistake to get rid of Pulaski to bring back Crusher. Michelle Forbes as Ro Laren was EASILY the best 'Action Girl' in Star Trek history. I was upset about how they never brought her fully into the fold as a main castmember.

USB Connector Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Combs, in Star Trek alone he played very different characters very well. I originally found it difficult to believe that he played both Weyoon and Brunt in DS9. I would go with Stewart, but it seems he can only play that one role in any serious movie/TV show.
