How much were the actors paid?

What do you guys think? Supposedly they were doing 10 hour days. Anyone know how long their holidays were between seasons and the schedule? Were they developing a season a year before the air date?

Lashmore Lieutenant Commander Red Shirt

I watched a little documentary that lasted a whole ten minutes based on average pay-grade of actors in American tv shows. Now, considering trek was not a majority watched show, but rather a minority watched show, I will keep my answers to the 'average' instead of the upper pay grades. However, I personally believe they would get the lower grades mentioned in the doco. (example: most watched tv shows elad actors usually get 7000 a week average, trek leads would not) Lead actor, as in, the ONE lead actor: between 1500 to 3000 a week Dedicated mains: Between 800 to 2000 a week Additionals (seen in almost every episode but not considered main): between 300 to 1000 a week. Now not every actor got a 10 hour work day for most days of a week, no that's not true. Some wouldn't even work an hour at all in a week depending on the script. So hourly average is hard to get. (but trust me, 10 hour days is no hard task....I used to work 12 hours a day in a metal fabrication company, harder work, harder hours) As for average television show filming times. Guess what, many 20+ episode seasonal shows, only took 90 (average, some go over 100) days of a year, sometimes only 60 to film an entire season, then they go do other projects or jobs until the year after and do another season. So base pay really isn't really that great when you think about it barely being for a third of the year. The money that supports tv actors when not going onto doign other shows, movies or projects is from royalties(if the contract allows), convention appearances and general marketing themselves to fans. TV is not movies....they do rarely make you a millionaire with mansions unless you are constantly in many different tv projects.

the simple, if expected, answer is: A lot.

I remember reading that VOY actors were paid on a sliding scale. IIRC, Kate Mulgrew made around $60K per episode while Garrett Wang hovered at the lower end - $20-30K per episode.

But just because someone has the financial means to afford extravagant lifestyle, doesn't necessarily mean they will actually go for it. Who says that actors appearing at cons and such are using it to scrape in some more money? Sure, the money is an extra bonus, but the primary motivation behind these appearances might be other than money. Point is, we don't know for sure. Not all financially set or rich people are alike, nor do they all think in the same capacity.

Hmmm. $60K per episode for Mulgrew? With 161 episodes over 7 years, that adds up to something over $9.5 million. And, I think she negotiated an increase for the last two seasons. $20K per episode for Wang? Poor thing, he'd only make $3.2 million. All that is before taxes and before their agents got their cuts, of course. And a million isn't what it used to be, so they say. However, I might be able to get by on a salary like that!

You're forgetting the decade since and the next 90 years of residuals till they're dead that effectively they're being... Is there a statute of limitations on residuals, or is it willed and passed on down the family line?

Finn Bad Batch of TrekBBS Admiral

How about when certain cast members also direct a given episode?

RTMS Ensign Red Shirt

Residuals are a laugh, hence why the current union is so up in arms about what actors should get for internet and DVD showings etc. Unless your like the Friends actors who negotiated a certain level of residuals with their contracts, most actors can't live off of that hence why they are always looking for work or get behind the camera like McNeil and Dawson who are producers/directors now.

The 'Star Trek Voyager' Cast Then and Now, Sharing What They Thought of Their Characters (EXCLUSIVE)

Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

One of the revolutionary aspects of the Star Trek Voyager cast was the fact that sitting in the captain's seat was a woman, which was a much bigger deal when the show premiered than people today might realize. "I'm not even remotely surprised at how much attention the fact that the show had a female captain attracted," says Kate Mulgrew , who portrays Captain Kathryn Janeway. "This is the human condition. It's a novelty. I think that it piqued a mass kind of curiosity and it's very typical of our nature as human beings. I do suppose that one has to always refer to the gender in this regard. I am a woman, and that lends itself to maternity, to compassion, to warmth — to a lot of qualities which our culture has encouraged in women."

Airing from 1995 to 2001 for a total of 172 episodes, Voyager was actually the fourth live action Star Trek series, following on the heels of William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk on the original series (1966 to 1969), Sir Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987 to 1994) and Avery Brooks as Captain Benjamin Sisko on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993 to 1999). All in all, an impressive history, yet, again, Voyager had that one element that none of the others did.

In the series, the starship Voyager has mysteriously found itself transported to the distant fringes of the galaxy and has begun the 75-year trek back home. Complicating matters is that the Voyager had been pursuing a vessel, commanded by a crew of Maquis rebels (Federation-born colonists and disaffected Starfleet officers organized against the Cardassian occupation of their homes in a Demilitarized Zone), and has been stranded with them, resulting in the crews having to be integrated, offering the potential of inherent conflict between these characters.

What follows is a look at how the Star Trek Voyager cast came together and where they've been since the series ended.

Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway

The casting of Captain Janeway was an arduous process, with a wide variety of possible names being bandied about, including Lindsay Wagner ( The Bionic Woman ), Linda Hamilton ( Beauty and the Beast, The Terminator ), Erin Gray ( Buck Rogers in the 25th Century ), Susan Gibney (who had appeared on a pair of Next Generation episodes), Joanna Cassidy ( Who Framed Roger Rabbit? ) and Kate Mulgrew.

The first person hired for the part was French actress Genevieve Bujold, but shortly after shooting of the pilot began, it was obvious that she was not the right person for the job. She herself was terribly unhappy, used to the schedule of shooting films and not the rapid-fire nature of television production. So Mulgrew auditioned.

"I came in," the actress explains, "and they gave me two very big scenes. One was the monologue, 'We're lost in an uncharted part of the galaxy....,' and the other was with Tuvok, establishing the depth and breadth of our friendship. I loved them both. And I made two very bold decisions in the room... not bold, but I played the scene with Tuvok with high humor, as Janeway did throughout her entire relationship with Tuvok, because he's so Vulcan. I was always trying to ruffle his feathers.

"So," she continues, "that was full of laughs, and a certain underlying vulnerability, which I thought was very important to show; that her capacity for friendship was great indeed. And necessary to her, as a person. And with the monologue, I did it to them. I gave it to the producers. I turned to them as if they were my crew, looked right at them and I said that I would get us through this. And I remember thinking, 'Well, now it's up to you.'"

Needless to say, she was brought aboard to command the starship. Prior to doing so, Mulgrew, born April 29, 1955 in Dubuque, Iowa, appeared in eight movies, including Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985) and Throw Momma from the Train (1987), but had really made her mark earlier as Mary Ryan Fenelli on the soap opera Ryan's Hope (1975 to 1978). Additionally, she played the title role in the ill-fated Mrs. Columbo (1979 to 1980, which went through a title change to Kate Loves a Mystery ); made many episodic guest appearances, including three episodes of Cheers in 1986; and starred in HeartBeat (1988 to 1989) and Man of the People (1991 to 1992).

It should be noted that Mulgrew had pressures added to part of Janeway that her preceding captains decidedly did not . "For months," she says, "they came to the set. — the brass, not just my producers. The Paramount guys came and stood at the lip of the bridge and scrutinized me, my hair, my bosom, my heels ... All of which was meant to inform me of the importance of this part, and that I was being watched. It was very simple. Nothing was stated. I'm sure they did it with Patrick Stewart... for two seconds. And Shatner for even less. But millions, if not billions, of dollars were at stake with this franchise, so they had to make sure. I think in the end they were pleased. It did work, but I would really say that it wasn't easy.

"Comparisons," she adds, "as Oscar Wilde would say, are odious, but the men never had to deal with the physical component, the sexual component, the way that I did. I was scrutinized because of my gender, by all of these guys. 'She's got a big bosom, she's got beautiful hair, she's still of childbearing years, how are we going to make this thing work?'"

She found herself in makeup and having her hair worked on constantly, and all of the arguments and conversations were about her physicality, not about her characterization of Janeway.

"I really grew to envy, especially, Patrick Stewart," Mulgrew laughs, "who probably had nothing to do except walk from his trailer to the set. He had a great ease. I had to add an additional three hours to my day, with two young sons at home, and all this technobabble, and wanting to be able to ace that, wanting to be able to understand it, and get underneath it, was quite challenging for the first year. I'm sure there was some resentment there on my part. I'm sure there was some frustration and anger. Of course, I'm human and, my God, I was tired. But I'm Irish, so the 'I'll show them!' part of me surpasses every other thing. Which is why she not only succeeded, she thrived, Janeway, because I was determined."

Following Voyager , Mulgrew starred in the comedy NTSF:SD:SUV (2011 to 2013), the critically acclaimed Orange is the New Black as Galina "Red" Reznikov (2013 to 2019), Mr. Mercedes (2019), The Man Who Fell to Earth (2022) and has even reprised Janeway, vocally, on the animated Star Trek Prodigy , which launched in 2021. Married twice, she's the mother of three and is 68.

Robert Beltran as First Officer Chakotay in the Star Trek Voyager Cast

Chakotay is the Native American captain of the Maquis vessel, who ends up serving as first officer aboard the Voyager under Janeway’s command. The actor cast in the role was Robert Adams Beltran, born on November 19, 1953 in Bakersfield, California. Graduating with a Theater Arts degree from California State University, Fresno, he scored his first film role in 1981's Zoot Suit , which was followed by a part in the television series Models, Inc. , and, in 1982, by Paul Bartel’s cult classic Eating Raoul, 1983's Lone Wolf McQuade, 1984's Night of the Comet, 1990's El Diablo .

He also achieved extensive stage experience, appearing in 22 shows between 1979's California Shakespeare Festival and 2011's Devil's Advocate . On television, there have been a dozen TV movies and guest appearances.

As to Star Trek: Voyager , says Beltran, "At that point in my career, I was thinking it would be good to do a television series, and so I began to concentrate on finding one. Then, when my agent called me to tell me about the Voyager pilot, I thought, ‘Great, I’ll be happy to audition for it.' It could be an important gig in that it could be a substantial amount of years with steady employment that would make my old age much more comfortable."

“I wouldn’t have auditioned,” he adds, “if I didn’t find something valuable in the character. I liked the script very much, and I auditioned wholeheartedly to get the role. It was one of the easiest processes I’ve ever gone through in getting a job, ironically. I like the role of Chakotay. I thought that he was open-ended and could really go somewhere with the right kind of writing. I was very much interested in playing the role and seeing what I could do with it.”

Since being a member of the Star Trek Voyager cast, Beltran has appeared in seven films. He most recently provided the voice of Chakotay in the animated series Star Trek: Prodigy . Now 70, the actor is the father of one child.

Tim Russ as Second Officer/Security Officer/Tactical Officer Tuvok

Serving as Science Officer amongst the Star Trek Voyager cast is Tuvok, a full-blooded Vulcan (unlike Leonard Nimoy 's Spock on the original Star Trek ), who is played by Mr. Saturday Night 's Tim Russ . Born January 22, 1956 in Washington, D.C., prior to becoming part of the show, he guest starred on a number of different series, and starred in nine episodes of The Highwayman (1987 to 1988).

Says Russ, "There was a very big victory for me in getting this. I had been interested in working on Star Trek ever since the original Next Generation was created, and I read for a role back then. I did not know at the time that LeVar Burton was also ging to be considered for the role of Geordi La Forge. So it was in retrospect that I realized that producer Rick Berman had been in my corner ever since. Tuvok was similar to his predecessor, Mr. Spock, in that he has to maintain a certain consistency with the Vulcan principles and philosophy that we upheld. But there was also an exploration of my character as an individual in terms of the intricacies of his personality and what his intentions may be."

He believes he had the edge over most people reading for the part, because of how well he intrinsically knew who this character was. "Tuvok is definitely based on Spock," Russ explains. "Why does everybody like Spock? Why was he genuinely — over Captain Kirk, even — the most popular character on that show? It's because he was what we all want to be. We want to be perfect, we want to be able to overcome all the trials we have to deal with. The character is so interesting to watch, because every situation that came up, you'd want to see what Spock would do, you wanted to see how he reacted — and you enjoyed watching him just completely confused and baffled by human beings. You could forget that he was part human.

"So, coming into the reading, I was armed to the teeth with this character. And casting is generally 80 percent personality and 20 percent talent. I'm not saying I'm able to do the things the way Tuvok does, it's just that I do like to approach things from an analytical or logical standpoint. If you are 100 percent Vulcan, obviously there's no choice between being human or Vulcan. Spock had to maker a choice. Tuvok never had to make that choice. It's like an athlete who trains to do the decathlon and an athlete who's born to do the decathlon. The person who comes into this world destined by nature to do it, has the edge."

Since being a part of the Star Trek Voyager cast, Russ has worked steadily in television, including 11 episodes of iCarly (2007 to 2012), 35 episodes of Samantha Who? (2007 to 2009), reprising the role of Tuvok, promoted to captain, in a pair of episodes of Star Trek: Picard (2003) and as an E.R. doctor in Seth Macfarlane's TV version of Ted (2024). Now 67, Russ has one child.

Garrett Wang as Operations Officer Harry Kim

Harry Kim, played by Angry Cafe 's Garrett Wang, is fresh out of Starfleet Academy in the premiere, and serves as the starship's ops and communications officer. For his part, Wang was born December 15, 1966 in Riverside, California. Prior to joining the Star Trek Voyager cast he appeared in a few commercials and made a guest appearance in a 1994 episode of All-American Girl . Playing Harry Kim was his big break.

"I remember thing at the time," he reflects, "that this must have been a dream that I was going to wake up from soon. It is kind of amazing when you think about the legacy we were following, because there really isn't any other TV series I can think of that originally aired in the Sixties and kept on going and going and going. it's kind of like an intergalactic Energizer Bunny."

Since the end of the series, he's been in about half a dozen films and made a couple of TV guest appearances. He's currently 55.

Roxann Dawson as Chief Engineer B’Elanna Torres

Voyager 's seemingly requisite alien-human hybrid was B'Elanna Torres ( with Roxann Dawson joining the Star Trek Voyager cast), the half-Klingon chief engineer who, like Spock on the original series, wages an inner war with the intertwining blood of two species. The actress was born on September 11, 1958 in Los Angeles, and she made her acting debut in a Broadway production of A Chorus Line . A few film roles would follow as would TV guest appearances and regular roles in Nightingales (1989) and The Round Table (1992).

"I'm of Latino descent, but that something that wasn't brought up in any way, because it really doesn't make a difference," points out Dawson about being made part of the Star Trek Voyager cast. "I love that the attention was brought to the fact that she's half-human and half-Klingon. I love that the conversation regarding Tuvok centered around the fact that he is Vulcan and that we don't discuss that he's a black Vulcan. And I love the fact that nobody on the crew, except for one little moment, discusses that it's a big deal that we have a female captain. What matters is character, how we're coming across and who we are as people."

The interesting thing for her to explore was the turmoil and continuing attempt to reconcile the two sides of her, which formed the conflict she wanted to explore. "One of the reasons fans identified with B'Elanna is that we all, to a certain degree, have two or more sides to us that are at war. It's a universal idea and I loved that the character could explore that so tangibly."

"She’s so afraid of being abandoned that she will leave every situation first. That’s why she left Starfleet Academy before she could be expelled, even though she was never going to be expelled. She operates very much on fear. This is not uncommon; we all do that to some degree. A lot of people will often want to have the control in their hands and move away from any situation that would put them at risk or make them vulnerable."

During the run of Voyager , she began directing episodes and since the show concluded, that's been the focus of her career, having amassed 61 behind-the-camera credits. Most recently she's directed episodes of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, The Horror of Dolores Roach and Apple TV Plus' Foundation . Married twice, she's the mother of two. Roxann Dawson is 65.

Robert Picardo as Chief Medical Officer The Doctor

One of the show’s most offbeat characters is the Doctor ( Robert Picardo , then known for The Wonder Years ), an Experimental Medical Program (EMP). The holographic Doctor is a virtual medical officer taking care of the crew’s needs and serving as ship doctor when the vessel is stranded in the Delta Quadrant.

Offers producer Rick Berman, "Robert Picardo was just wonderful in the same way that we always have characters that served as a mirror to human culture. Spock did that in the original series, Data did it The Next Generation and here our decision was to create a doctor who was, in fact, a hologram. Like Data, someone who was not human but wanted to be human. We also wanted this character to be poignant at times, but to be quite funny, because he was nothing but a program — but one who would have a sense of ascension to him. That's a very important word in Star Trek , ascension. It ends up not meaning what anybody thinks it means, but Picardo was one of the truly natural and talented actors that we have worked with and he provided us with some of the funniest stuff we've ever done."

Picardo was born on October 27, 1953 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since the end of the series, he's appeared in 17 films and dozens of television episodes, including as Richard Woolsey on both Stargate SG-1 (seven episodes between 2004 and 2007) and Stargate: Atlantis (26 episodes between 2006 and 2009). He portrayed Ithamar Conkey in the 2019 to 2021 Apple TV+ series Dickinson . Now 70, he's been married once and has two children.

Robert Duncan McNeill as Helmsman Tom Paris in the Star Trek Voyager Cast

One of the early characters to be part of the Star Trek Voyager cast was Lieutenant Tom Paris, a member of the Maquis who comes to serve as the helmsman of Voyager . The role would go to actor Robert Duncan McNeill . Born November 9, 1964 in Raleigh, North Carolina, although he enjoyed some early TV guest appearance and stage work, he played Charlie Brent on the daytime soap opera All My Children from 1985 to 1988. He was in four episodes of Homefront (1992) and 17 episodes of Going to Extremes (1992 to 1993).

Says producer Rick Berman of McNeill joining the Star Trek franchise, "It had been a while since we had a young, attractive white guy on the show. It just turned out that most of the characters were either alien or black in the previous shows and here we had a woman in a major role. With Robbie, there was something very charming and delightful about him. He was a very good choice."

For his part, McNeill notes, "One thing that I think was interesting about Voyager is that every character had a great backstory. That's what made it interesting. Everybody's got sort of a dark side – an edge – which is different than the other Star Trek shows. A great thing about the show is that as an actor, sometimes you do work and then it's forgotten or you do a play and 50 people see it. One thing that's great about this is that for the rest of our lives, people will know this part of our work and it's great to have that sort of longevity."

Like Roxann Dawson, following Voyager he made the shift to directing and hasn't looked back, helming dozens of episodes, most recently True Lies in 2023. From 2007 to 2012, he was a director and producer on the spy series Chuck. Married twice, the 59-year-old is the father of three.

Ethan Phillips as Cook and Morales Officer Neelix

Winrich Kolbe, who directed the pilot episode "Caretaker" and was very involved with the casting, states, "Neelix was rather easy to cast. We narrowed it down to three actors, and Ethan Phillips was the one who pulled out. He was an inspired choice, and he was the life of the party on the set."

Ethan Phillips was born on February 8, 1955 in Garden City, New York, and came to be part of the Star Trek Voyager cast after an extensive career in theater, with dozens of shows to his credit. He's also been in 40 films between 1981's Ragtime and 2018's Most Likely to Murder . There are dozens of TV appearances, though viewers probably recognize him best from playing Pete Downey on the 1980 to 1985 sitcom Benson .

"I think Neelix is a pretty lovable guy," opines Phillips of his Star Trek character. "It's an amazing role, because there are so many colors to the man and it may be one of the best roles I've ever had an opportunity to play. There's something deep and heightened about him, and playing him is an incredible challenge."

Now 69, he was married to Patricia Cresswell from 1990 until her death in 2022. They have three children.

Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine in the Star Trek Voyager Cast

In season four, with the intent of improving ratings, the decision was made to add a sexier character to the Star Trek Voyager cast in the form of actress Jeri Ryan as a Borg — member of the cybernetic race — who has been separated from the hive collective and is gradually reclaiming her humanity. While dressing the character in a skintight outfit had the desired impact on ratings, she also introduced a dynamic character ripe with the possibility of evolution and created a strong connection between Seven and Captain Janeway.

Jery Lynn Ryan was born on February 22, 1968 in Munich, West Germany. Her father, a master sergeant in the U.S. Army, retired when she was 11, and the family moved to Paducah, Kentucky. Her earliest TV roles were as a gust star in Who's the Boss?, Melrose Place, Matlock and The Sentinel , before she was cast as a series regular in the sci-fi drama Dark Skies (1996 to 1997). Star Trek Voyager was next in 1997.

Comments series writer Bryan Fuller, "Seven of Nine was raised in the wild by wolves, if you will, and now has to be trained to be human again. It was such a beautiful story and I love the dynamic between Seven of Nine, Janeway and the Doctor. That's the triumvirate from Voyager that I thought was so effective emotionally and that kind of harkened back in a different way to the triumvirate of Kirk, Spock and McCoy on the original series."

Adds executive producer Brannon Braga, "Each character on the show was affected by this new infusion of energy and it reinvigorated the show. What was genius about the character is that she was utterly oblivious to her own sexuality and found it irrevelevant."

Concurs Ryan herself, "I had no problem with an overtly sexual physical appearance, because it was the complete opposite — such a polar opposite — to the character herself. I'm not saying that's why the character works, but it's a huge part of why she worked as well. Look, I'm a mom, so my number one priority when I pick a role is to pick something I'd be proud for my daughter to watch, or my son at the time because I didn't have a daughter then. I'm proud of this character for any young girl growing up to look at as a kind of role model. It's part of life. You have incredibly intelligent people in all types of appearances."

"You can be a bombshell and be really intelligent - you're not a ditz because you're blond and have a figure," she elaborates. "And people stereotype someone dressed in tight or sexy clothing and assume you're stupid. That's one of my biggest pet peeves with Hollywood and that's why the role of Seven of Nine was so refreshing. When I read the scene they'd written for her and talked to the producers and listened to what they were going to go with her, it was just the opposite of that. I'm a National Merit Scholar. I was not a dumb kid growing up, but to be assumed to be stupid is something that drives me crazier than anything."

Following Voyager, she appeared in 59 episodes of legal drama Boston Public (2001 to 2004), and had recurring roles in Two and a Half Men (2004 to 2011), The O.C. (2005), Shark (2006 to 2008), Leverage (2009 to 2011), Body of Proof (2011 to 2013), Bosch (2016 to 2019) and, reprised the role of Seven of Nine in the third and final season of Star Trek: Picard (2020 to 2023). Most recently she appeared in four episodes of Dark Winds (2023). Ryan, 55, has been married twice and is the mother of two.

Whatever Happened To The Cast Of Star Trek: Voyager?

Jeri Ryan, Kate Mulgrew, Ethan Phillips, and Robert Picardo

The third "Star Trek" series to air in the 1990s, "Star Trek: Voyager" was also the flagship series for the all-new Paramount television network UPN. Making its debut in January of 1995, the series saw Captain Kathryn Janeway command the state-of-the-art starship Voyager on a mission to pursue a group of Maquis rebels. However, when a phenomenon envelops them both and hurls them to the distant Delta Quadrant, Starfleet officers and Maquis terrorists become one crew on a perilous journey home.

Despite a few cast shake-ups, "Voyager" ran for seven seasons and featured a consistently stellar ensemble. The series helped launch the careers of several of its lesser-known actors, while others can count the series as the highest point in their filmography. Some walked away from Hollywood after it concluded, while a few have since made big comebacks, returning to the roles that made them famous.

Since it ended in 2001, "Voyager" has aged like fine wine, earning new fans thanks to the magic of streaming where new generations can discover it anew. Whether seeing it for the first time — or even if you're watching it for the umpteenth — you may be wondering where the cast is now. Well, recalibrate the bio-neural gel packs and prep the Delta Flyer for launch because we're here to fill you in on what's happened to the cast of "Star Trek: Voyager."

Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway

It's no secret that Kate Mulgrew wasn't the first choice to play Captain Janeway in "Star Trek: Voyager." Academy Award-nominee Geneviève Bujold was famously cast first but filmed only a few scenes before quitting the show during the production of the series pilot, leading to Mulgrew being brought in. Today it is difficult to imagine anyone else in the role, though it's hardly Mulgrew's only iconic TV series.

Following the show's conclusion in 2001, Mulgrew took a few years off from acting, returning with a small role in the 2005 film "Perception" with Piper Perabo. After a guest appearance on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," Mulgrew snagged a recurring role on "The Black Donnellys" in 2007 alongside Jonathan Tucker and Olivia Wilde and another in the short-lived NBC medical drama "Mercy" in 2009. Her return to a main cast, however, came in the Adult Swim series "NTSF:SD:SUV::," where she played an eye patch-wearing leader of an anti-terrorism task force alongside future "Star Trek" star Rebecca Romijn .

Of course, Mulgrew found a major career resurgence in 2013, starring in one of Netflix's earliest forays into original programming, "Orange is the New Black." In the series she stars as Red, an inmate at a women's prison, a role that would earn her an Emmy nomination. Mulgrew returned to "Star Trek" in 2021, voicing both Kathryn Janeway and a holographic version of the character in the Nickelodeon-produced CGI-animated series "Star Trek: Prodigy."

Robert Beltran as Commander Chakotay

Sitting in the chair next to Captain Janeway for seven seasons was Robert Beltran as Commander Chakotay, a former Maquis first officer. Though Beltran counts his heritage as Latino, Chakotay was actually the first Native American series regular in the franchise but was sadly under-used, a fact that the actor has commented on . Following "Star Trek: Voyager," Beltran's work on the small screen was mostly limited to guest appearances, popping up in episodes of "CSI: Miami" and "Medium" in the 2000s while filling roles in movies like "Taking Chances," "Fire Serpent," and "Manticore."

Beltran's first recurring part on TV after "Voyager" was in the series "Big Love," starring Bill Paxton and Jeanne Tripplehorn. In the series, he played Jerry Flute — another Native American — who has plans to construct a casino on a reservation. However, over the next decade, Beltran seemed to move away from acting, with a sparse handful of minor roles. He revealed on Twitter that he turned down a chance to play Chakotay one more time in the revival series "Star Trek: Picard," as he was unhappy with the part they'd written for him.

Nevertheless, Beltran did come back to join Kate Mulgrew for the animated children's series "Star Trek: Prodigy." Voicing Chakotay in his triumphant return to the franchise, the series sees the character lost in space and his former captain on a mission to find him.

Tim Russ as Lt. Tuvok

Actor Tim Russ had already made a few guest appearances in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" and even the film "Star Trek Generations" before joining the main cast of "Star Trek: Voyager" in 1995. Russ became a fan-favorite as Vulcan Lt. Tuvok, who was later promoted to Lt. Commander. However, after seven seasons playing the stoic, emotionless Tuvok, Russ kept busy with a variety of different roles, mostly guest-starring in popular TV hits.

This includes guest spots in everything from "ER" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" to episodes of "Hannah Montana" and "Without a Trace." He even appeared on the big screen with a small role in "Live Free or Die Hard" in 2007, but it didn't keep him away from TV, as he also had a multi-episode appearance on the hit soap "General Hospital." That same year, Russ joined the main cast of the Christina Applegate comedy "Samantha Who?" and later began working in video games, providing voice work for "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus" and "The Last of Us Part 2."

Since then, the actor has kept busy with countless roles in such as "Criminal Minds," "NCIS: New Orleans," "Supergirl," and "The Good Doctor." More recently, Russ turned up in an episode of Seth MacFarlane's "Star Trek" homage "The Orville," and in 2023 voiced Lucius Fox in the animated film "Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham."

Roxann Dawson as B'Elanna Torres

On "Star Trek: Voyager," the role of chief engineer was filled by Roxann Dawson who played half-Klingon/half-human B'Elanna Torres. Starting out as a Maquis rebel, she eventually becomes one of the most important members of the crew, as well as a wife and mother. Following her run on the series, Dawson had just a handful of on-screen roles, which included single episodes of "The Closer" and "Without a Trace." That's because, like her franchise cohort Jonathan Frakes , Dawson moved behind the camera to become a director full-time.

Getting her start overseeing episodes of "Voyager" first, Dawson moved on to helm entries of "Star Trek" spin-off "Enterprise" before broadening to other shows across television. Since 2005, Dawson has directed episodes of some of the biggest hits on TV including "Lost" and "The O.C." in 2006, eight episodes of "Cold Case," a trio of "Heroes" episodes, and more.

We could go on and on rattling off the hit shows she's sat behind the camera for but among her most notable might be the David Simon HBO series "Treme" in 2011, "Hell on Wheels" with future starship captain Anson Mount, and modern masterpieces like "Bates Motel," "The Americans," and "This is Us." Her most recent work saw her return to sci-fi, helming two episodes of the Apple TV+ series "Foundation."

Garrett Wang as Ensign Harry Kim

Despite never seeing a rise in rank and perpetually remaining a low-level ensign, Harry Kim — played by Garrett Wang – often played a crucial role in defeating many of the enemies the crew would face in the Delta Quadrant. When "Star Trek: Voyager" left the airwaves, though, Wang bounced around, with his biggest role arguably coming in the 2005 Steven Spielberg-produced miniseries "Into the West." He has continued embracing his role as Ensign Kim by appearing at many fan conventions, where he found an entirely new calling.

Beginning in 2010, Kim embarked on a career as an event moderator, serving as the Master of Ceremonies at that year's FedCon (a science fiction convention held in Germany). Later, he was the Trek Track Director at the celebrated Dragon Con event, held annually in Atlanta, Georgia. Over the course of his new career, Wang has held moderating duties and hosted panels and events at major pop culture conventions in Montreal, Edmonton, Phoenix, and Denver. According to Wang, his biggest role as a moderator came at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo in 2012, where he interviewed the legendary Stan Lee .

In 2020, Wang joined forces with co-star Robert Duncan McNeill to launch "The Delta Flyers," a podcast that discusses classic episodes of "Star Trek: Voyager."

Robert Duncan McNeill as Lt. Tom Paris

Robert Duncan McNeill guest-starred in an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as a hotshot pilot who broke the rules and wound up booted from Starfleet. So when producers developed a similar character, they brought in McNeill to play him, resulting in brash, cavalier helm officer Tom Paris. In 2002, after "Star Trek: Voyager" ended, McNeill starred in an episode of "The Outer Limits" revival and a few more small roles. However, like Dawson, McNeill left acting not long after the series ended to become a director and producer, starting with four episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise."

Into the 2000s, McNiell helmed episodes of "Dawson's Creek" and "One Tree Hill" before becoming an executive producer on the action-comedy series "Chuck" starring Zachary Levi. Ultimately he'd direct 21 episodes of that series across its five seasons. From there, McNeill went on to sit behind the camera for installments of "The Mentalist," "Blue Bloods," and "Suits."

Since the 2010s, McNeill has served as an executive producer on further shows that included "The Gifted," the Disney+ reboot of "Turner & Hooch," and the SyFy series "Resident Alien." In addition to hosting "The Delta Flyers" podcast with co-star Garrett Wang, McNeill came back to "Star Trek" in 2022 when he voiced the character of Tom Paris in a cameo on the animated comedy "Star Trek: Lower Decks."

Ethan Phillips as Neelix

Another actor to appear on "Star Trek" before taking a leading role on "Voyager," Ethan Phillips played the quirky alien chef Neelix for all seven seasons of the show's run. A well-established veteran, his TV roles prior had included dramas like "NYPD Blue" and family hits like "Doogie Howser, M.D." Unfortunately, his role on "Voyager" never translated to big-time success after, though he hardly struggled for work. That's because he went back to his former career as a character actor.

In the ensuing years, Phillips could be seen all over the dial and beyond, with parts in "Touched by an Angel" and "8 Simple Rules" among many others, even popping up in a guest-starring role in an episode of "Star Trek: Enterprise" in 2002. Later he did a three-episode run on "Boston Legal," another Beantown-based legal drama from David E. Kelley, this one starring "Star Trek" legend William Shatner and "Deep Space Nine" alum René Auberjonois. Some of the biggest shows he's found work on during the 2010s meanwhile include "Better Call Saul" and a recurring role in the Lena Dunham comedy "Girls." He's also had roles in major movies, showing up in "Inside Llewyn Davis," "The Purge: Election Year," and "The Island."

Though he hasn't come back to "Star Trek," Phillips did return to sci-fi in 2020, joining the main cast of the HBO space comedy "Avenue 5" alongside Hugh Laurie and Josh Gad.

Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine

Though she didn't arrive on "Star Trek: Voyager" until Season 4, Jeri Ryan arguably became the series' biggest star. She came in to help liven up a series that was struggling and joined the cast as a former Borg drone named Seven of Nine . It proved to be just what the series needed and a career-defining role for Ryan. One of the few cast members of "Voyager" to parlay her role into bigger success, Ryan immediately joined the David E. Kelley legal drama "Boston Public" after the series ended.

There she had a three-season run and in 2006 she secured another starring role on another legal drama, this time in the James Woods series "Shark," with Danielle Panabaker and Henry Simmons. Smaller recurring roles came after, including multi-episode stints on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Two and a Half Men," and "Leverage," before Ryan returned to a main cast with her co-starring role in "Body of Proof" in 2011 alongside Dana Delany. Parts in "Helix" and "Bosch" came after, as well as brief recurring roles in "MacGyver" and "Major Crimes," leading right up to her return to "Star Trek" in 2020.

That year, Ryan joined the cast of the revival series "Star Trek: Picard." Returning to the role of Seven of Nine, she supported series lead Patrick Stewart by appearing in all three seasons, and rumor has it she may even star in a spin-off.

Jennifer Lien as Kes

Joining the Starfleet and Maquis crew aboard Voyager was Kes, a young alien woman with mild telepathic powers and just a nine-year lifespan, and played by Jennifer Lien. Unfortunately, her character never quite gelled, and in Season 4 Lien was written out to make way for Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine.

Leaving the series in 1997, Lien's career stalled in front of the camera, though she did manage a role in "American History X" alongside "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" star Avery Brooks. However, most of her subsequent work came in animation, with voice work in "Superman: The Animated Series" — where she played Inza, the wife of Doctor Fate — and a starring role as Agent L in "Men in Black: The Series."

Unfortunately, Lien pretty much left acting shortly after that. She married filmmaker Phil Hwang and started a family but has faced personal problems along the way. While struggling to deal with her mental health, Lien was arrested in 2015 for indecent exposure and again in 2018 for driving without a license.

Manu Intiraymi as Icheb

Late in Season 6 of "Star Trek: Voyager," a storyline saw the ship rescue a stranded vessel commanded by a group of wayward Borg children. At the conclusion of the story, four young drones join the crew, becoming a surrogate family of sorts to Seven of Nine after jettisoning their Borg identities. The eldest of them is Icheb, a teenager who becomes like a brother to Seven, played by actor Manu Intiraymi. The young actor went on to make 11 appearances across the final two seasons of the show.

When "Voyager" ended in 2001, Intiraymi continued acting, with his largest role coming in "One Tree Hill." There he played Billy — a local drug dealer — in a recurring role in 2012. Further projects were mostly independent films like "5th Passenger" in 2017 and "Hell on the Border," a 2019 Western starring David Gyasi, Ron Perlman, and Frank Grillo.

In 2017, Intiraymi came under fire for criticizing fellow "Star Trek" actor Anthony Rapp, who'd made accusations of sexual assault against Kevin Spacey . A few years later, fans speculated those comments may have been why he wasn't asked to return to the role of Icheb in "Star Trek: Picard," with a new actor playing the part in a scene that killed off the character.

Scarlett Pomers as Naomi Wildman

Plenty of TV shows have added a kid to shake up the status quo late into their run, and "Star Trek: Voyager" was not immune to this trope. In addition to Borg kids like Icheb, Samantha Wildman — the newborn daughter of a crewperson — became a recurring character beginning in Season 5, played by Scarlett Pomers. She'd wind up in 16 episodes, including a few where she played a leading role. In the aftermath of the end of the series, Pomers appeared in the Julia Roberts film "Erin Brockovich," and in 2001 joined the cast of the sitcom "Reba."

For six seasons Pomers starred as Kyra Hart, daughter of the show's star played by Reba McEntire. Appearing in a whopping 103 episodes, it was only Pomers' second regular role but also her last on-screen performance. When that series concluded, Pomers essentially retired from acting. Unfortunately, her exit from the stage was at least partly due to her ongoing battle with an eating disorder, and Pomers has since become an outspoken advocate for those struggling with anorexia and mental illness. In a 2019 interview with StarTrek.com , Pomers also talked about her subsequent career as a photographer, musician, and jewelry designer.

Martha Hackett as Seska

In the early seasons of "Star Trek: Voyager," one of the most compelling ongoing storylines was that of Seska, a Bajoran and former Maquis rebel and on-again-off-again lover of Chakotay. Played by recurring guest star Martha Hackett, it was later revealed that Seska was actually an enemy agent in disguise. Hackett would appear in a total of 13 episodes of the series, making it by far the largest role in her career. Still, she has appeared in some big hits over the last two decades.

Those included a small role in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" in 2005 and an appearance in the cult horror movie "The Bye Bye Man" in 2017. It also includes one-off appearances in episodes of popular projects on the small screen, like "The Mindy Project" in 2014, "Masters of Sex" a year earlier, and a recurring role in the daytime soap "Days of Our Lives" between 2016 and 2018. Thanks to her iconic role as Seska, though, Hackett continues to be a regular on the "Star Trek" convention circuit and was interviewed for the upcoming "Star Trek: Voyager" documentary "To the Journey."

Robert Picardo as the Doctor

For 30 years, the world of science fiction meant one thing when the moniker of "The Doctor" was uttered, but that all changed in 1995 with the launch of "Star Trek: Voyager." There, actor Robert Picardo — already known for antagonistic roles in "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" and "InnerSpace" — starred as the Doctor, the nameless holographic chief medical officer aboard the Voyager. Known for his offbeat humor and cantankerous attitude, he was played to perfection by Picardo, and it would become the actor's signature role.

Still, even after leaving sickbay as the Doctor, Picardo had a healthy career, moving quickly into a role in "The Lyon's Den" starring Rob Lowe and Kyle Chandler in 2003. A year later he joined another iconic sci-fi franchise when he secured a recurring part in "Stargate SG-1" as Richard Woolsey, a grumpy U.S. official who opposed the Stargate program. Following a string of appearances on the flagship series, Picardo joined the main cast of "Stargate: Atlantis" in 2006. A few years later, Picardo had another repeat role, this time as Jason Cooper on "The Mentalist," and he later enjoyed a stint on the Apple TV+ drama "Dickinson."

In 2023, the actor made a guest appearance on the "Quantum Leap" revival playing Doctor Woolsey, whose name is a clear tribute to his two biggest TV roles.

Screen Rant

Every star trek character guest star on voyager.

Despite being stranded 75 years away from the Alpha Quadrant, the crew of the USS Voyager met a number of Star Trek characters during their journey.

Despite being stranded in the Delta Quadrant, the crew of Star Trek: Voyager came into contact with a surprising amount of Star Trek legends during the show's seven seasons. When it debuted in 1995, Voyager was the fifth Star Trek show in the franchise and, in cutting off the USS Voyager from its home in the Alpha Quadrant, Voyager returned to the original show's remit of exploring strange new worlds and civilizations. However, setting the show in the Delta Quadrant meant that the writers had to come up with creative ways to feature cameos by existing Star Trek characters when the story demanded it, or if the show needed a boost in the ratings.

Among the creative reasons for bringing classic Star Trek characters from the Alpha Quadrant to Voyager were the involvement of Q (John de Lancie), holographic simulations, and psychic projection. All of these allowed characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation , Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , and Star Trek: The Original Series to feature in episodes of Voyager . Here's every major Star Trek character who featured in Voyager , and the story reasons behind their appearance.

RELATED: Star Trek: How Old Every Voyager Bridge Character Was At The Start & End

8 Quark and Morn In "Caretaker"

The very first Star Trek character to feature in Voyager was Quark (Armin Shimerman), the Ferengi barman aboard DS9 in Voyager 's pilot. Voyager is docked at the station before embarking on its mission to discover what happened to Tuvok (Tim Russ) and Maquis members Chakotay (Robert Beltran) and Torres (Roxann Dawson). The scene establishes that Ensign Harry Kim (Garrett Wang) is a fresh-faced and inexperienced Starfleet officer, as he almost falls for Quark's scam to sell him rare crystals that are anything but rare. Quark plays on the Federation's prejudice against Ferengi to convince Kim to part with his credits.

Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) interrupts Quark's prospective deal, informing Harry that it's a scam. This small scene establishes the friendship between Harry and Tom that would continue throughout the whole of Voyager , with the jaded Starfleet officer taking the young Harry under his wing. Quark's appearance is also a neat callback to how TNG 's Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) appeared in the DS9 pilot to establish the shared universe between both shows. As expected, Quark's Bar regular Morn is also glimpsed in this short crossover scene.

7 Q In "Death Wish" And Beyond

Janeway and Picard were Q's favorite captains, as proved by the omnipotent being's frequent visits to the USS Voyager. Given Q's immense power, it was surprising that he never just popped Voyager back to the Alpha Quadrant, but he certainly helped them along on their way. Q's first appearance was in Voyager season 2, episode 18 "Death Wish", in which another of his species seeks asylum aboard Voyager. Adopting the name Quinn (Gerrit Graham), he had grown tired of immortality and wished to experience death, the so-called final frontier.

This horrified Q, who arrived on Voyager to stop Quinn from taking his own life. The experience had a profound effect on Q, who helped Quinn take his own life, and would later return to Voyager to reconnect with Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) whom he'd grown fond of. Decades later, Q's death in Star Trek: Picard season 2 was a thematic sequel to this classic Voyager episode .

6 Will Riker In "Death Wish"

During "Death Wish", Q summons witnesses who have benefited from Quinn's interventions in human history. One of these witnesses is William Thaddeus Riker (Jonathan Frakes). It's revealed that Quinn helped Riker's wounded ancestor across the battlefield during the Civil War. Without him, it's likely that the Star Trek universe wouldn't have had a Will Riker. Unfortunately for the crew of Voyager, Riker's memory is wiped so that he can't inform Starfleet command about Voyager's status.

Interestingly, Q implies earlier in the same episode that Janeway may not have been the first choice as captain of Voyager. Musing that Riker appeared a shoo-in for the command post, he suggests that the USS Voyager is another Captain promotion that Riker turned down . This is never confirmed, but Riker's connection to the Maquis via his transporter clone Thomas would have given him a connection to their original Badlands mission.

5 Geordi La Forge In "Timeless"

Voyager season 5, episode 6, "Timeless" depicts an alternate future where the USS Voyager was destroyed in a horrific crash while attempting to return to the Alpha Quadrant. Only Harry Kim and Chakotay survived, and are attempting to go back in time to avert the disaster. Kim holds himself responsible, as it was due to his Quantum Slipstream miscalculations that caused Voyager to fatally crash, killing all hands. Chakotay and Kim are determined to change the past by sending the correct calculations back in time to avert the warp-drive replacement from destroying the ship.

In this alternate future, Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), Captain of the USS Challenger attempts to stop the former Starfleet officers from changing history. Actor LeVar Burton was also the director of the episode, and relished the opportunity to reprise the role of Geordi for what's essentially a glorified cameo. Better yet, Burton was able to wear Geordi's cybernetic implants rather than his hated VISOR.

4 Boothby In "In The Flesh" And "The Fight"

The enigmatic groundskeeper Boothby (Ray Walston) had provided wise counsel to Jean-Luc Picard and Kathryn Janeway while they were young cadets at Starfleet Academy. He was a regular fixture at the Academy for decades, and so when Species-8472 created a perfect reconstruction of Starfleet Academy, Boothby was included in the replica, and acted as their representative. Much like Star Trek: DS9 's Changelings , Species-8472 saw the Federation as a threat and used the replica Academy as a staging ground for an eventual infiltration, a plan which Janeway eventually convinced them to abandon.

It was revealed in Voyager season 5, episode 19, "The Fight", that Chakotay had included Boothby in a boxing simulation on the holodeck. This was because the groundskeeper had coached the young Chakotay during his time at Starfleet Academy. Later in that episode, another alien intelligence used Boothby's likeness, this time to communicate with Chakotay and save Voyager from being destroyed in chaotic space.

3 Hikaru Sulu And Janice Rand In "Flashback"

"Flashback" was Voyager 's contribution to Star Trek 's 30th anniversary celebrations, and depicted Janeway mind-melding with Tuvok (Tim Russ) to explore his time on the USS Excelsior under Captain Sulu (George Takei). It's revealed that while serving on the Excelsior, Tuvok was infected with a virus that retained the traumatic memories of its host as it moved from body to body. Tuvok was infected with the virus during the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country , when Sulu led the Excelsior on an unsanctioned mission to rescue Captain Kirk and Doctor McCoy.

As seen in Star Trek 6 , Sulu was joined on the Excelsior by Janice Rand, who also appeared in "Flashback". Unfortunately for Rand, she's knocked out by Tuvok so that Janeway can steal her uniform to blend in. While attempting to save Kirk and McCoy, Sulu faced off against Kang, played by Michael Ansara, another classic TOS actor who had previously reprised his role as the Klingon in DS9 .

2 Deanna Troi In "Pathfinder", "Life Line", "Inside Man"

TNG 's Deanna Troi made several Star Trek TV appearances after the show ended in 1994. As well as her and Will Riker's controversial appearance in the Star Trek: Enterprise finale, Troi also appeared in multiple episodes of Voyager in both seasons 6 and 7. Troi played a key role in the overall "Pathfinder" arc that would eventually lead to Voyager returning to the Alpha Quadrant, by counselling the brilliant but neurotic Lieutenant Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz) throughout his attempts to make contact with the Delta Quadrant, and the missing starship.

In "Life Line", the empathetic Troi also helped curmudgeonly Lewis Zimmerman (Robert Picardo) reconcile with Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram which he had created. Troi and Barclay concocted a plan to bring Voyager's Doctor (also Robert Picardo) and its creator closer together, but creating a malfunction that required the two men to work closely together. Troi later helped Barclay when his holographic duplicate was intercepted by the Ferengi, who planned to use it to steal Seven of Nine's Borg nanoprobes.

1 Reg Barclay Also In "Projections", "Author Author", "Endgame"

Incredibly, Dwight Schultz's number of Voyager appearances is greater than those in TNG, where the character originated. Reg Barclay appeared in six Voyager episodes, including the three aforementioned Deanna Troi episodes, compared to TNG 's five. Schultz's first appearance was in Voyager season 2, episode 3, "Projections", although he was playing a sinister hologram version of Reg, who tries to convince the Doctor to deactivate himself.

Once the "Pathfinder" arc is resolved, and Reg enables communication between Star Trek 's Alpha and Delta Quadrants , he appears twice more. In Voyager season 7, episode 20, "Author, Author", Barclay is congratulated on finally establishing the intergalactic com link by Janeway. The com link is then used by the Doctor to transmit a scandalous holonovel that Barclay brings to the attention of Starfleet command, leading to a high-profile trial about the holographic Doctor's rights as an artist and a person.

RELATED: Star Trek Just Had An Amazing Callback To Voyager Season 5

Reg's final appearance is in the Star Trek: Voyager finale, "Endgame" which begins in an alternate reality where Voyager made it home at a considerable cost. In this timeline, Barclay is a commander and teacher at Starfleet Academy, where he teaches cadets about the Borg Collective . It's Barclay who helped Admiral Janeway go back in time and return the ship to the Alpha Quadrant earlier, saving the lives of both Chakotay and Seven of Nine. As one of Star Trek 's most beloved supporting characters, it was a thrill to see Reg Barclay twice play such an integral role in returning the Voyager crew home.

The 'Star Trek Voyager' Cast Then and Now, Sharing What They Thought of Their Characters (EXCLUSIVE)

O ne of the revolutionary aspects of the Star Trek Voyager cast was the fact that sitting in the captain's seat was a woman, which was a much bigger deal when the show premiered than people today might realize. "I'm not even remotely surprised at how much attention the fact that the show had a female captain attracted," says Kate Mulgrew , who portrays Captain Kathryn Janeway. "This is the human condition. It's a novelty. I think that it piqued a mass kind of curiosity and it's very typical of our nature as human beings. I do suppose that one has to always refer to the gender in this regard. I am a woman, and that lends itself to maternity, to compassion, to warmth - to a lot of qualities which our culture has encouraged in women."

What follows is a look at how the Star Trek Voyager cast came together and where they've been since the series ended.

"I came in," the actress explains, "and they gave me two very big scenes. One was the monologue, ‘We're lost in an uncharted part of the galaxy….,' and the other was with Tuvok, establishing the depth and breadth of our friendship. I loved them both. And I made two very bold decisions in the room… not bold, but I played the scene with Tuvok with high humor, as Janeway did throughout her entire relationship with Tuvok, because he's so Vulcan. I was always trying to ruffle his feathers.

Kate Mulgrew guest starred on three episodes of Cheers in 1986

It should be noted that Mulgrew had pressures added to part of Janeway that her preceding captains decidedly did not . "For months," she says, "they came to the set. - the brass, not just my producers. The Paramount guys came and stood at the lip of the bridge and scrutinized me, my hair, my bosom, my heels … All of which was meant to inform me of the importance of this part, and that I was being watched. It was very simple. Nothing was stated. I'm sure they did it with Patrick Stewart… for two seconds. And Shatner for even less. But millions, if not billions, of dollars were at stake with this franchise, so they had to make sure. I think in the end they were pleased. It did work, but I would really say that it wasn't easy.

"Comparisons," she adds, "as Oscar Wilde would say, are odious, but the men never had to deal with the physical component, the sexual component, the way that I did. I was scrutinized because of my gender, by all of these guys. ‘She's got a big bosom, she's got beautiful hair, she's still of childbearing years, how are we going to make this thing work?'"

She found herself in makeup and having her hair worked on constantly, and all of the arguments and conversations were about her physicality, not about her characterization of Janeway.

"I really grew to envy, especially, Patrick Stewart," Mulgrew laughs, "who probably had nothing to do except walk from his trailer to the set. He had a great ease. I had to add an additional three hours to my day, with two young sons at home, and all this technobabble, and wanting to be able to ace that, wanting to be able to understand it, and get underneath it, was quite challenging for the first year. I'm sure there was some resentment there on my part. I'm sure there was some frustration and anger. Of course, I'm human and, my God, I was tired. But I'm Irish, so the ‘I'll show them!' part of me surpasses every other thing. Which is why she not only succeeded, she thrived, Janeway, because I was determined."

Chakotay is the Native American captain of the Maquis vessel, who ends up serving as first officer aboard the Voyager under Janeway's command. The actor cast in the role was Robert Adams Beltran, born on November 19, 1953 in Bakersfield, California. Graduating with a Theater Arts degree from California State University, Fresno, he scored his first film role in 1981's Zoot Suit , which was followed by a part in the television series Models, Inc. , and, in 1982, by Paul Bartel's cult classic Eating Raoul, 1983's Lone Wolf McQuade, 1984's Night of the Comet, 1990's El Diablo .

As to Star Trek: Voyager , says Beltran, "At that point in my career, I was thinking it would be good to do a television series, and so I began to concentrate on finding one. Then, when my agent called me to tell me about the Voyager pilot, I thought, ‘Great, I'll be happy to audition for it.' It could be an important gig in that it could be a substantial amount of years with steady employment that would make my old age much more comfortable."

"I wouldn't have auditioned," he adds, "if I didn't find something valuable in the character. I liked the script very much, and I auditioned wholeheartedly to get the role. It was one of the easiest processes I've ever gone through in getting a job, ironically. I like the role of Chakotay. I thought that he was open-ended and could really go somewhere with the right kind of writing. I was very much interested in playing the role and seeing what I could do with it."

Serving as Science Officer amongst the Star Trek Voyager cast is Tuvok, a full-blooded Vulcan (unlike Leonard Nimoy ‘s Spock on the original Star Trek ), who is played by Mr. Saturday Night ‘s Tim Russ . Born January 22, 1956 in Washington, D.C., prior to becoming part of the show, he guest starred on a number of different series, and starred in nine episodes of The Highwayman (1987 to 1988).

He believes he had the edge over most people reading for the part, because of how well he intrinsically knew who this character was. "Tuvok is definitely based on Spock," Russ explains. "Why does everybody like Spock? Why was he genuinely - over Captain Kirk, even - the most popular character on that show? It's because he was what we all want to be. We want to be perfect, we want to be able to overcome all the trials we have to deal with. The character is so interesting to watch, because every situation that came up, you'd want to see what Spock would do, you wanted to see how he reacted - and you enjoyed watching him just completely confused and baffled by human beings. You could forget that he was part human.

Harry Kim, played by Angry Cafe ‘s Garrett Wang, is fresh out of Starfleet Academy in the premiere, and serves as the starship's ops and communications officer. For his part, Wang was born December 15, 1966 in Riverside, California. Prior to joining the Star Trek Voyager cast he appeared in a few commercials and made a guest appearance in a 1994 episode of All-American Girl . Playing Harry Kim was his big break.

Since the end of the series, he's been in about half a dozen films and made a couple of TV guest appearances. He's currently 55.

Roxann Dawson as Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres

Voyager ‘s seemingly requisite alien-human hybrid was B'Elanna Torres ( with Roxann Dawson joining the Star Trek Voyager cast), the half-Klingon chief engineer who, like Spock on the original series, wages an inner war with the intertwining blood of two species. The actress was born on September 11, 1958 in Los Angeles, and she made her acting debut in a Broadway production of A Chorus Line . A few film roles would follow as would TV guest appearances and regular roles in Nightingales (1989) and The Round Table (1992).

Actresses Jeri Ryan, Kate Mulgrew and Roxann Dawson speak during "Creation Entertainment's Salute to Star Trek: Voyager ‘s 20th Anniversary" at the Rio Hotel & Casino on August 8, 2015

"She's so afraid of being abandoned that she will leave every situation first. That's why she left Starfleet Academy before she could be expelled, even though she was never going to be expelled. She operates very much on fear. This is not uncommon; we all do that to some degree. A lot of people will often want to have the control in their hands and move away from any situation that would put them at risk or make them vulnerable."

Robert Picardo as Chief Medical Officer The Doctor

Robert Picardo made his debut as The Doctor in 1995, plus a shot of him at 2020's opening for Incantata

One of the show's most offbeat characters is the Doctor ( Robert Picardo , then known for The Wonder Years ), an Experimental Medical Program (EMP). The holographic Doctor is a virtual medical officer taking care of the crew's needs and serving as ship doctor when the vessel is stranded in the Delta Quadrant.

Offers producer Rick Berman, "Robert Picardo was just wonderful in the same way that we always have characters that served as a mirror to human culture. Spock did that in the original series, Data did it The Next Generation and here our decision was to create a doctor who was, in fact, a hologram. Like Data, someone who was not human but wanted to be human. We also wanted this character to be poignant at times, but to be quite funny, because he was nothing but a program - but one who would have a sense of ascension to him. That's a very important word in Star Trek , ascension. It ends up not meaning what anybody thinks it means, but Picardo was one of the truly natural and talented actors that we have worked with and he provided us with some of the funniest stuff we've ever done."

In season four, with the intent of improving ratings, the decision was made to add a sexier character to the Star Trek Voyager cast in the form of actress Jeri Ryan as a Borg - member of the cybernetic race - who has been separated from the hive collective and is gradually reclaiming her humanity. While dressing the character in a skintight outfit had the desired impact on ratings, she also introduced a dynamic character ripe with the possibility of evolution and created a strong connection between Seven and Captain Janeway.

Kate Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan as Janeway and Seven

Concurs Ryan herself, "I had no problem with an overtly sexual physical appearance, because it was the complete opposite - such a polar opposite - to the character herself. I'm not saying that's why the character works, but it's a huge part of why she worked as well. Look, I'm a mom, so my number one priority when I pick a role is to pick something I'd be proud for my daughter to watch, or my son at the time because I didn't have a daughter then. I'm proud of this character for any young girl growing up to look at as a kind of role model. It's part of life. You have incredibly intelligent people in all types of appearances."

Jeri Ryan in 2001

"You can be a bombshell and be really intelligent – you're not a ditz because you're blond and have a figure," she elaborates. "And people stereotype someone dressed in tight or sexy clothing and assume you're stupid. That's one of my biggest pet peeves with Hollywood and that's why the role of Seven of Nine was so refreshing. When I read the scene they'd written for her and talked to the producers and listened to what they were going to go with her, it was just the opposite of that. I'm a National Merit Scholar. I was not a dumb kid growing up, but to be assumed to be stupid is something that drives me crazier than anything."

Did you know? Star Trek: The Original Series stars’ salaries

By rachel carrington | sep 21, 2021.

The stars of Star Trek: The Original Series weren’t rolling in the dough

When Star Trek: The Original Series began in 1966, it wasn’t a time of great wealth for the actors and actresses who portrayed the characters that brought the show to life, at least by 2021 standards. Today, it’s not unusual to hear that an actor is making $250,000 per episode. Of course, most actors don’t start out making that, but they certainly don’t start out where the stars of Star Trek began, according to The Fifty-Year Mission: The First 25 Years by Edward Gross and Mark A. Altman .

When Jeffrey Hunter starred in the first pilot for Star Trek, he was paid $5,000. According to In2013dollars.com , that amount would be worth $42, 217.13 in today’s economy, which still isn’t a high rate of pay for a pilot episode. But his salary was higher than anyone else’s in the pilot but certainly not higher than the price William Shatner commanded when he assumed the role of Captain Kirk for the second pilot.

Other Star Trek: The Original Series actors weren’t getting rich in 1966

Bob Justman, the supervising producer of Star Trek: TOS said Gene Roddenberry was happy to get William Shatner because he was highly thought of in the industry. So it’s no surprise that his paycheck was $10,000 per episode or equivalent to $84,434.26 today. That’s not bad for the 1960s.

Leonard Nimoy cost the studio $2,500 per episode, at least in the first season while Paul Fix who starred as Dr. Piper earned $1,250. Scotty’s James Doohan earned $750 per episode, and George Takei, who spent most of his time on Star Trek seated at the helm, was paid $375 per episode or $3,166.28 today. The stuntman who doubled for Gary Lockwood, who portrayed Gary Mitchell, actually earned more than even Leonard Nimoy, coming in at $5,000 for Where No Man Has Gone Before.

So when you factor in the actual dollars these actors made, it’s easy to see that The Original Series didn’t make them millionaires. And while these salaries are low by today’s standards, back in the mid-sixties, one could buy a house in certain areas for $14,200. But for most people who were trying to make a living, actors still were considered highly-paid.

How much did these actors make? : r/voyager
Watching ST Voyager right now. Wondering how much these actors made per episode. I read somewhere, don't know the source for this, that Kate Mulgrew as the lead made around $60K an episode while young newbie young Garret got paid about 30K per episode. I assume the others fell somewhere in between.
How much were the actors paid?
However, I personally believe they would get the lower grades mentioned in the doco. (example: most watched tv shows elad actors usually get 7000 a week average, trek leads would not) Lead actor, as in, the ONE lead actor: between 1500 to 3000 a week. Dedicated mains: Between 800 to 2000 a week. Additionals (seen in almost every episode but not ...
What were the salaries like on TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise
Varied a lot by which actor, which show, and which season. At the high end, the main actors of TNG were pulling down about $1 million per episode each. At the low end, on the later shows the lower-tier regulars were pulling down $25-30k per episode. Just room and board I suppose. About tree-fitty.
