Whatever Happened To The Cast Of Star Trek: Voyager?

[@Looper]

Who was your favorite character on Star Trek: Voyager?

[@happykt]

Seven of Nine, aka Jeri Lynn Ryan.

[@mchllwoods]

Tom Paris and Be'lanna Torres. I had a crush on both of them. Crush grew stronger when they ended up 2gether.

[@MICHAEL-vy3ch]

Tuvok (Tim Russ). He always seemed to be the one person on Voyager who was holding everything together, and I like that after years of playing different one-off characters in Star Trek, Tim Russ finally got a regular role.

[@grayarea7445]

The doctor.

[@FBPrepping]

I never liked Neelix. Jeez, they seemed to push him everywhere. Annoying. I quit the show because I was so tired of him.

[@MostAlpha]

Tuvok was in Picard Season 3

[@COLE_PRODUCTIONS]

Russ was...that wasnt Tuvok

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

Yeah I noticed that omission too. You think that they didn't mention it to keep away from spoilers?

[@MostAlpha]

@@darrenskjoelsvold No idea. The Star Trek franchise has declined over the years.

[@smith_5345]

​@@COLE_PRODUCTIONSbelive he is actually there at the end right

[@michaeljanis879]

Yup its Tuvok in the end. Picard season 3 is watchable but star trek is for the young generation now.... take what you get and hope for the best 😊

[@JediRevanMunro]

Ethan Phillips also voiced Star Wars characters in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, a Galon Lor and Tamlen Sith humans, Twi'lek mercenary on Mannan underwater base, and Star Wars: Force Commander - Hamman Flatt; and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds - Empire medical droid, Krantian governor, Royal grenade trooper.

[@heatherduncan5101]

Ethan Phillips was on an 80s show called Benson. Renee Auberjenois was also in the cast.

[@donaldwildgrube5544]

Kate Milgtew also was in Warehouse 13, in a reoccuring role as the head of the council.

[@newageBoundhippie]

she was also Pete's mom, which was such a fun reveal.

[@marcushull12]

[@newageBoundhippie]

@@marcushull12 yep. so Warehouse 13 got overlooked twice in the same video, which is a little insulting.

[@Nedski42YT]

Who can ever forget Robert Picardo as the "Johnnycab" robotic cab driver in Total Recall? Douglas Quaid : Where am I? Johnnycab : You're in a Johnnycab. Douglas Quaid : How did I get in this taxi? Johnnycab : The door opened. You got in.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

Robert Picardo also appeared on the Orville, as the father of Alara Kitan. He had a large role in an episode that featured John Billinsgley (Phlox on Enterprise) as a delightfully evil/sadistic antagonist.

[@jameslay1489]

He was also the witch in Legend.

[@JohnWinchester3567]

He was a leprechaun in Supernatural.

[@KiRiTO72987]

I was surprised they didn't mention that considering it had two different star trek doctors in it

[@kbanghart]

I first saw him in the movie Innerspace.

[@JohnSimpson36]

Kate and Jeri both had roles on Warehouse 13

[@sinistermaul306]

I still remember Robert Picardo on the show “The Wonder Years” as the gym teacher

[@realbadger]

Prior to _Voyager,_ I was aware of Kate Mulgrew via her little known _Mrs Columbo_ TV series. She and I also share the same 29 April birthday (not the same year). Robert Beltran I already knew from the movie _Night of the Comet,_ at one point in which he has to kill two zombified children. As child death in movies was relatively taboo, the editing of the brief moment in the film is rather comically awkward.

[@user-ed4fv9nd3b]

She also wrote that book "Hot Fire."

[@rouenrobinson]

It always surprises me how many actors from the show Benson ended up with roles in Star Trek properties.

[@juliusarchibaldiv3880]

You forgot to mention that nearly all the actors returned to do cameos for Star Trek Online. Kate Mulgrew, Garrett Wang, Robert McNeil, Tim Russ, Jeri Ryan, Ethan Philips, Robert Picardo all returned at some point in time to reprise their characters in the 14 year run of Star Trek Online. But you also forgot that Jeri Ryan was no stranger to Sci-fi because of the Mid-90s series Dark Skies.

[@garyvanburen7911]

This was good, but what about the actresses in the oft recurring roles of Seska and Naomi Wildman?

[@johnashton4776]

Tim Russ was also in DIEHARD 4.0 as a government agent.

[@kbanghart]

Ugh another mediocre movie

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

My favorite Voyager character would almost certainly be Harry Kim. The good guy that busts his ass for everyone and gets nowhere while the bad boy gets promoted over him, punished for breaking the rules then repromoted over him.

[@HoldenNY22]

I like the Harry Kim character also. I agree with what you aay. I thought it would have been much better if instead of Chakotay and Seven and Nine Hooking up, it wouls have been Harry Kim and Seven of Nine.

[@kbanghart]

​@@HoldenNY22yes Harry and Seven maybe would have been interesting. Overall, for me, Robert and Garrett suffered the worst as far as writing for their characters, and interest.

[@stephendaurie9344]

it's interesting that all these youtube posts about whatever happened to Voyagers crew never mention the girl that played Nioni Wildman, she was a semi-regular on the show along with the woman that played her mother

[@bensheekey1399]

Im kind of related to Neelix. He married my Stepdad's cousin. (I know thats barely related)

[@cyberhard]

Why no mention of Tim Russ in Picard season 3?

[@JVHShack]

One of Tim Russ' "various voice roles" was a supporting character in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. I'll leave it to others to name that character.

[@braddishv3146]

Don't forget Fallout 4! Hehe 😛

[@newageBoundhippie]

I still love that he voiced Hobie Brown/Prowler in the 90s Spider-Man animated series

[@bladerunner_559]

Harry and Tom have a podcast called the delta flyers!? No way 😂

[@karmabum21]

How did I not know that Tuvok delivered that epic line in Spaceballs?!?!?!

[@VJAllison1974]

My husband and I did not know either, and we love Spaceballs!

[@brianhope6258]

Don't forget that Robert Picardo was also the Gym teacher on "The Wonder Years"

[@sanddagger36]

I am pretty sure they killed off Icheb so brutally because they wanted to punish the actor.

[@kbanghart]

I'm good with that

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

surprised you didn't mention Tim Russ being on Picard

[@kbanghart]

Maybe got confused bc the first time we see Tim in Picard, it's not Tuvok, and maybe didn't watch to the end of the series.

[@Sjrick]

Jeri Ryan was stunning

[@SawTomorrow]

Ha. Alongside shaved head, goateed, Ed Norton, mentioning avery brooks. Too good

[@arcturionblade1077]

A shame what happened to Jennifer Lien and her character role as Kes. Really enjoyed her role as L in MIB. Mental health is no joke and hope she got the help she needed. It's just bad luck that Lien got pushed out of Voyager when it was actually Garrett Wang's Ensign Kim who was originally slated to be cut from the show. However, Wang was voted one of People magazine's sexist actors, and so the producers felt compelled to keep him around and decided to axe Kes instead. This is nothing against Wang as I quite liked the Harry Kim character especially in that one time traveling episode where he's older and bitter, being wracked with guilt for failing to save the rest of the crew of Voyager.

[@mariehernandez5878]

I loved the character Kes. She was such a dear heart. I loved her kindness and gentleness. I liked all the characters. My favorite was Chakotay. I liked how he supported the crew and did not have to try to prove himself.

[@ShonnDaylee]

It was for the best. Kes's character was incredibly shallow, and one note. The writers were running out of ways to utilize her. Not to mention she had a lot of mental problems that lead to her having a lot of problems on/off set. Garett Wang (pronounced "Wong") was under utilized until Kes left, at which point he contributed quite a bit more to the series. As I said, it was for the best.

[@JohnWinchester3567]

Neither Lien or Wang was due to lose their job until showrunner had to make room for his 'girlfriend' aka she slept her way onto the show.

[@f22bmw]

Nah, she exposed herself to kids, anyone else would have gone to jail. So fk her.

[@castodivo]

This is a myth that has been wildly disproven. Kes was a fan favorite. Jennifer was fired because of her mental health issues.

Picard is all done in , its the TNG finale and Seven of Nine is the future of StarTrek . This is why at some point , Janeway and her crew must rejoin Seven and I hope its soon .

[@thejarredhog3936]

Neelix kinda did return to Star Trek. He reprised his role in the Star Trek Online Delta Rising expansion. I'm also fairly certain he played some Twi'lek ambassador in one of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games. Picardo also had an antagonistic role in video games, especially if you didn't get to the Cloud district very often :P

[@jacoblind5390]

For those who like the novels I highly recommend “the autobiography of Kathryn Janeway”. But you must get it as an audiobook read by Kate Mulgrew. There was some minor retconning and a little was undone by Picard but all in all it was excellent.

[@carlwaring]

You missed of Russ' revival of Tuvok on Picard 🤦‍♂

[@pauldesigncomics2625]

[@deniselongino6769]

[@sanddagger36]

I'm glad Wang eventually found something to do, but it speaks miles that he could only get a job organizing the events he was speaking at. I won't speculate, but I wonder if McNeill agreed to start the podcast just to help Wang get back into the spotlight.

[@kbanghart]

I agree .. Wang and Beltran seem to be the weakest actors, although that sounds nasty so maybe it's better to say, fewest opportunities. Wang got that "sexiest guy" award which helped, but neither one really had roles where they stood out. And Beltran said he hated VOY, or hated his character, whatever.

[@sanddagger36]

@@kbanghart Beltran was actually a successful Mexican actor before Voyager. But afterward, he probably had enough money to retire.

[@helencaleb2188]

Kate Mulgrew and Robert Beltran are theatre actors too so between TV appearances they’d have been “treading the boards” so to speak. I also recommend The Delta Flyers podcast. Garrett and Robert are watching every Voyager episode in order and they talk about their experiences as actors working with the directors and the other actors (Plus interviews with their co-stars and guest stars), and McNeill will talk about directing and camera angles, sound, set design etc. It’s really interesting stuff about behind the scenes in making a TV show.

[@kevinphoenix2007]

You left out Tim Russ reprising Tuvoc in season 3 of Star Trek Picard.

[@pepperVenge]

Wang is pronounced as _wOng,_ despite how it is spelled.

[@MINKIN2]

[@ChipLinck]

I get the narrator is just reading a script, but can you guys work on pronouncing names correctly? Both actor and character names were mispronounced.

[@shannonnewman3091]

Star Trek: Voyage. was Ok, It was like DS9 just Ok. 7 of 9 was good

[@9-5-VictorVictor-2]

Ryan immediately joined the David E. Kelley drama Boston Public "AFTER" the series ended. Jeri Ryan joined Boston Public at the beginning of the second season. 😁😁😁

[@houseofno]

Wang actually got promoted to Captain in the final episode of Voyager titled Endgame in Admiral Janeway's alternate future in which he's sent to bring back Admiral Janeway, but in the end, decides to let her continue on her mission to travel back in time to get Voyager back home sixteen years sooner in order to save Seven Of Nine, Chakotay and Tuvok. You probably missed it. Not sure what the point was of bringing up Jennifer Lien's criminal record when you didn't do so for anyone else in your video. If your video isn't going to run a criminal background check on EVERYONE in your video, why target Lien?

[@MolotovZav]

Since VOY ended I mainly took note of Tim Russ and Kate Mulgrew since they went into voice acting and have been characters in some of my favorite games. Kate Mulgrew is iconic as Flemeth in Dragon Age. Tim Russ has been in just about every bethesda game since Fallout 3 it feels. I knew Roxanne Garcia went behind the camera on what I call "mom TV", this would be TV my mom watches, and only people like my mom watch. I'm 34 now, so veritably this is older tv. Robert Picardo was truly inescapable for me, as Stargate fan too, he ended up in Atlantis, and he's always somewhere randomly. Garret Wang lives in the same city I do, so he can be seen around from time to time. I remember watching Boston Public when it came out, I was about 10. This was peak my Mom TV. I remember thinking it was stupid Jeri's character wanted to be a teacher after being a lawyer. Yeah some types of lawyers are high paid, high workload, and high stress, but teachers are high workload, high stress, and low pay. I graduated from law school in 2014, and I still think that's a dumb character arc, ten years later I think its dumb. So there's really not much difference between 10 year old me and 34 year old me when it comes to work ethic and getting paid lol. My favorite character growing up was Janeway. I was a little girl and she was everything I wanted to be. Now its actually B'elana, and specifically her relationship with Tom. May be corny but it reminds me of my own struggles coming into my own being mixed race (white/black) and having my husband with me to accept who I am.

[@SaiaArt]

Ethan Phillips was great in The Island. In my opinion he stole the show as most interesting character.
