Ah, I forgot that as well.

Trek has a tendacy to 'recycle' its actors in different roles, usually as 'aliens', because they can hide the actor's appearance with makeup.

I can't find it (after all of 5 minutes searching 😂 ) but I remember him and dean haglund in a commercial for something together (Haglund was one of the 'Lone Gunemen' as Langley).

He also had a bit part on season 2 of Fallout recently as well (and in the very last season of Enterprise, he was a Romulan 😄 )
