   Was thinking about #TopChef today and that reminded me of the excellent guest role Padma Lakshmi had on Enterprise which made me want to ask y'all: Who's been your favorite guest star/role across the #StarTrek franchise?

     @nocontexttrek That guy with the low voice who played Jake Sisko in the future on #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine. For the life of me I can't remember his name! BUT he was amazing!

     @nocontexttrek maybe Mae Jemison on TNG? It's nothing flashy and that is exactly what I love about her as a guest on the show.

     @nocontexttrek King Abdullah II of Jordan on Voyager.
     Sure, he was the crown prince at the time, and not a speaking part, but still.

     Or, that's my 2nd fav with professor Hawking being the very best since he played himself (only one to do so on Trek afaik).

     @nocontexttrek I loved Sarah Silverman in Voyager, and Wallace Shawn was great as Grand Nagus Zek, but holy crap, Rainn Wilson absolutely nailed Harry Mudd.

     Dolly Parton! Oh wait, that was #Orville. Sorry.

     Definitely Stephen Hawking then.

     @nocontexttrek Somebody already said The Rock, so I'm going Paul "The Big Show" Wight. He chewed some serious scenery as an Orion slave trader and took a "low blow."

     Second answer is Mae Jemison: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Mae_Jemison_(actress)

     Bebe Neuwirth as the Malcorian scientist that wants to "make love with an alien," to which Riker is only too happy to oblige. I think it was the nuttiest TNG episode, and her cameo is truly funny.
