Does Vaughn Armstrong still hold the record for most characters played by one actor in Star Trek? I can't even begin to count how many he must have played.

<<<<big Vaughn fan!

I got this from various sites (I will paraphrase some and quote Vaughn's words)......
"I've been an actor for 34 years, since the time I was 16. I was a little hoodlum growing up in a small town, and my mother was looking for some kind of activity for me to stay out of trouble. She offered me money to find something positive to do. She gave me $10 to go an audition for a play at school. I got in!, and there were all these girls!, Money and woman were got me into it. The reasons change as time goes on, money and my children are why I still do it. But i've never really done anything else."

(Vaughn on why he favors the Klingons)......
"The Klingons hold a special place in my heart because he was the first character I ever played in Star Trek. When I read the role, I thought, this is perfect for me. He's a warrior, and he wants to live his life the way he wants whether or not it hurts anyone. It was sheer passions!. 'Heart of Glory'
is what it was called, and the character is just that. You can't not enjoy a character like that. He sparked the rest of them."

Vaughn's Enterprise character, Admiral Maxwell Forrest, was named after the late DeForrest Kelley who played Bones on TOS.

Vaughn also never passes up a chance to attend any and all Star Trek conventions. "I truly enjoy meeting all the fans and I always have a blast!"

I met Vaughn at a TNG convention in San Francisco years ago, you remember him at that convention brother Fifth?, he was hanging out with the other actors that played Klingon's.

Don't forget the Enterprise Blues Band!

Has anyone ever been on a Cruise Trek? I saw he does those to. *sigh* Looks so fun.

Great post brother Base!, I had no idea thats why (to honor DeForrest Kelley)they came up with his name on Enterprise.

I do remember meeting him at that convention, that was the one we both dragged your wife and I dragged my girlfriend too. They were so embarrassed at first but when they met Patrick Stewart they changed there tune. He was so damn charming he had all the ladies swooning over him.

Don't forget the Enterprise Blues Band!

I have heard about them but I have never gone on that particular type of cruise, sounds great though!.

I did go to the opening of Quark's bar at the Las Vegas Hilton years ago, if I remember right Vaughn Armstrong was there that opening weekend along with Nana Visitor (Kira), Colm Meany (O'Brien) and the lovely Jadzia Dax, wow what a beautiful woman she is!

Thank you my friend. That is kind of cool how they did that to honor Bones.

Yup, my beautiful wife loves everything Star Trek now (especially Voyager) I guess it's a woman thing with VOY just kidding all you loyal Voyager fans.
We had to promise to take them out for an expensive dinner afterward for going. That probably was the best scifi convention I have ever been to. Lenard Nimoy gave a nice speech and answered a few questions while Picard stole the show, you souldn't get anywhere near his table for most of the show.

A Star Trek cruise?, I want to go on one!, I thought I have heard it all but I never heard about a ST cruise. I assume they get some cast memebers from various ST series and movies and maybe show ST movies in the ship's theaters?.

Where did you hear about these Trek Girl?.

[k8tbug1]

I agree!! I wanna go on a Star Trek Cruise!! Sign me up!!! *k8t jumps up and down w/ excitment*

Last summer SPACE had a feature on one- Vaughn Armstrong, Robert Picardo, Ethan Philips, an actress from DS9, her name completly escapes me at the moment- whoever Leeta is, I think that was her, another recognizable guest star from most series who is also in the Ent band (him and Vaughn Armstrong played for everyone), and I'm pretty sure there were a few others as well.
It was where the actors hung around with the fans, at pajama parties, trivia competitions, the actors performed kariokee, I think Ethen Philips did some comedy, triva competitions, lots of mingleing, a river raft adventure and a whole bunch of other things. It looked like a crazy good time.

Radisson Seven Sea's cruise lines flagship is called Voyager

Yeah, I love DS9, my favorite Trek by far. DS9 also shows the huge influence B5 had on the whole Sci-Fi genre.
