  • Trivia
    When auditioning for the role of Martok for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), the casting director told him to show more anger so he threw a chair at a wall. The display cost him a thumbnail, but won him the role. He won the role over his best friend at the time, Ron Canada.
  • Quotes
    My dad was career Air Force, my mother career Latin and French high school teacher. Never in a 1000 years would I have ever expected to be driving to my job through the arched gates of Paramount Studios, Hollywood.
  • Trademark
      Famous for his gravelly growling baritone voice.
