Academy Award-winning actor Martin Landau was initially offered the choice of playing Spock or Mission: Impossible's Rollin Hand but chose the latter as he felt playing such a "wooden" character was "the antithesis of what I do as an actor", a decision he says he has never regretted

He was "The Skipper" from Gilligan's Island.\n\n\nDo you know Gilligan's first name?  It was only said once during the entire run of the series.\n\nIf you want the answer, you should choose me for best answer, and I will be happy to give it to you.\nOr if you want, you can just e-mail me and I will tell you.

Checkhov and Sulu were the main pilots for the Starship Enterprise. Even though Checkhov did not board the Enterprise until late in season one, he quickly became a favorite on the show and a trusted pilot. He was also the test subject during the "Deadly years" episode that helped save the life of Kirk and Spock from growing old too fast.

It was from an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.  Captain Picard was stranded on a planet with an alien, whose race spoke only in parables about their own history.  "Arms open wide" seemed to indicate that the alien was being friendly, and the other parts led Picard to believe that the alien was describing two people uniting to face a common enemy (in this case, some monster on the planet).

best of all?  it would take a lot of makeup (and a TON of help from the ship's stores!) but i would be most rewarded by being the ship's counselor, deanna troi.\n\nthe needs of a community such as that on board the enterprise would require a desire to help, a willingness to both share and be confidential as required, the ability to put myself in other people's positions, and the knowledge to give sound advice when needed.  the feeling of helping someone else cope with a great unknown, or the problems vast distances can cause in relationships, is what i would find especially rewarding.  plus, the chance to say over and over again "i sense some hostility, captain" and keep a straight face would be priceless!\n\nroles i'd avoid with garlic and a mirror:  ship's surgeon, (either crusher or mccoy)  navigator, (sorry sulu) or any one of the token red-shirts who invariably beam down and get killed.

When I started this project, I had no idea how big it would get. I figured that I would just use a few of my reference books on naval ships so that people on the Netnews group rec.arts.startrek.misc would ask fewer uninformed questions about naval history. I used to post it regularly to that newsgroup, until Joe Creighton offered to put it on his "Star Trek Archive" web site. (April 1995) The hit rate astonished me! People were really reading this stuff! Anyhow, people started e-mailing me with additional information, suggestions for improvements, etc. It got to be a bit overwhelming. Now I'm finding that it's not just Star Trek fans who are interested. I'm now finding links to this site on real naval history sites! I suppose I should point out to any legitimate naval historians out there that this was originally designed for fans of the various Star Trek television series, and so references to future history (23rd & 24th centuries) and an obscure incedent aboard CVN-65 in 1986 involving one Pavel Chekov are of course, fiction. I was also a bit sloppier about references than I should have been. When I started this, I was doing it for a (then) small community of Star Trek fans on the Internet, and I wasn't really planning on it being an academic work with footnotes and references. Some things got lost in the shuffle, and probably a few errors have crept in during transcription. Nevertheless, I've tried to at least list my sources, and thank those who have contributed.

I wouldnt argue being a Vulcan.  Mr Spock was a really cool guy.  Not much of a personality but i imagine its better than being green.

William Shatner was actually wearing one back during the original Star Trek series, in 1969. I am sure that the "piece" got bigger and bigger as he aged. I actually think he had some pretty neat ones as they looked great on him.

Mr. Spock's Vulcan Greeting - The sci-fi series STAR TREK/NBC/1966-69 introduced an alien character named Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) who was the Science Officer onboard the starship USS Enterprise. On his home planet of Vulcan, they had a special greeting. It consisted of a right  hand raised (palm facing away) with ring finger and middle finger spread to form a "V" shape. The first person to speak said "Peace and long life" and the other responded "Live long and prosper." Both hand gesture and phrase were used for greeting as well as parting company. The Vulcan greeting first appeared on the episode No. 44 "Journey to Babel" which introduced Spock's parents, Sarek (Mark Lenard) and Amanda, (Jane Wyatt). "Live Long and Prosper" were also the final words spoken by Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) before he died from radiation exposure in the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982). When the Vulcans made initial contact with the human race in the motion picture First Contact (1996) the words "Live Long and Prosper" were the first words spoken as they exited their spacecraft. TRIVIA NOTE: The idea for the Vulcan hand sign on the series was contributed by Leonard Nimoy. The gesture (based on the Hebrew letter "Chim") dates back thousands of years as a special sign used by Hebrew priests during their religious ceremonies

Personally I'd have to go with Belanna, since she was half human - a full Klingon female would be just way too aggressive to handle, let alone try to have a decent talk with >.< LoL
