Rara Avis Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Jeffrey Combs is the best. Loved him in Re-Animator. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089885/ Bride of Re-Animator http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099180/ Beyond Re-Animator http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0222812/ An acquired taste for sure. Not for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinerFan Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Brent Spiner. He's absolutely brilliant in Star Trek and in everything else he does. And if anyone's heard the soundtrack to 1776, a Broadway musical he starred in (nominated for a Tony award, I might add), you know he can sing! I can't say enough about him.

SpinerFan Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 It's great. Last year I paid ninety-something dollars to get it, though! Worth every penny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloane31 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I think you can't really place any of the main characters as the best actors. They all play important roles yes, and they are acted incredibly well, but they were not necessarily the most difficult roles to play. For example, Patrick Stewart playes Picard incredily well. Picard has many emotional issues that he buries away, memories and experiences and how Patrick played that, for example, showing Picard's emotions about the Borg in First Contact. But other actors had bigger struggles to face, or issues to resolve that were harder to. Bob Picardo who played the EMH, hemanaged to bring persona, humour, not to mention life to that character. However, the less main characters had the hardest jobs to do. Supporting the main characters, having their own character develop, contributing to storyline's and plots. Adnrew Robinson who played Garek is a fine example of this. The personality he created for the character was more believable that that of someone like Kira's on DS9. Armin Shimmerman who played Quark, developed wonderful relationships between his character and those of Worf and Odo in particular. Jeffery Combs has to get my vote however. Simply his diversity and his acting talent made every single character he played believable and unique. Shran was amazing, the interaction between him and Archer was fab to watch. As Weyoun, his deviousness was portrayed excellently, although at times he showed he had a humerous side, and even a human side. Creating such complexity in a character is a wonderful thing to see, and he is an outstanding actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konst Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I mean, it doesn't get any better the him. He had the highest acting range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they make a new star trek series (or movie that is not a reboot of TOS) that he would make a good new starfleet captain. The actor is ready for a lead role in a star trek production.

TFMF Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Well since the days of first posting in this topic, I'd have to say my new favourite actors would be Andrew Robinson (Garak) and Jeffery Combs. I actually liked Kai Winn, too. I just felt sorry for her by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vystral Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I mean, it doesn't get any better the him. He had the highest acting range. You nailed it. The only other one I would say is Patrick Stewart because he is Shakespearean trained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b33znutz Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I must say, I do like Andrew Robinson and what he did with the Garak character. The show really wouldn't be the same without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Patrick Stewart by far was the best star trek captin then Kate Mulgrew as captain janeway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vystral Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I must say, I do like Andrew Robinson and what he did with the Garak character. The show really wouldn't be the same without him.
