Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

In 2011, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized Bill Blair as the record holder in the category of "The Most Special Effect Make-Up Characters Portrayed in a Career" with 202 different characters.
Well that's pretty neat!
That said, I'm not sure uncredited non-speaking roles are really comparable to guest-starring roles.
Fair is fair. If we're talking speaking roles, then after Vaughn Armstrong, it comes down to an 8-way tie between John K. Shull, Paul S. Eckstein, Joseph Ruskin, Thomas Kopache, Paul Boehmer, Randy Oglesby, J.G. Hertzler, and the man himself Combs. Most appearances in general still belongs to Our Man Dorn.

Does the voice of the ship's computer not count as an "appearance?"
She ranks #3, after everyone's favorite Chief Engineer O'Brien, per IMDB.
Edit: It should be noted that after Majel's passing and subsequent new series, Dorn dominates all.
Oh wow! I missed him!!! Now I'm ashamed
No worries. I've been sitting on that bit of info for a spell and uncertain of how to express it. So, if nothing else, thank you for knocking that one loose! And I've just come up with a way to make that trivia its own meme.
Well done then!
I didn't know the actress who played Lwaxana has passed
I really love that character, she did an incredible job playing Lwaxana.
More than just an actress. Majel is the one who encouraged Gene to pitch Star Trek to producers after suggesting some changes to his original idea. She’s one of the reasons the show existed at all.
Her last role in Star Trek was the voice of the computer in the 2009 reboot movie. Unfortunately, she died before it was released.
She also was the computer voice in the last two episodes of PIC thanks to archive audio.
I couldn't stand the character. It feels like another level of evil to be able to read minds but still trample the fuck over everyone's boundaries.
I had no idea Forrest's actor was in so many roles. Great post.
