"The Orville," Seth MacFarlane's Star Trek-inspired series, has cast a former member of the starship Enterprise in its upcoming season.
John Billingsley, who played Dr. Phlox in all four seasons of "Star Trek: Enterprise," will appear in the second episode of "The Orville" Season 2.
In the episode, titled "Home," Billingsley will play a character named Cambis, according to sources close to the production.
It is unknown whether there will be a nod to his role on "Enterprise," but it is not the first time the actor has played a character with links to the sci-fi series.
In an episode of "Stargate: SG-1," titled "The Other Guys," Billingsley played a scientist with a fascination with "Star Trek" and who dressed as a Vulcan at conventions.
The episode is due to air on Dec. 30 on FOX.
The cast of "The Orville" were at San Diego Comic-Con last week, where a teaser trailer for the second season was released. Click here to watch the trailer....
