Brian Markinson is a veteran performer who can boast multiple Star Trek roles on top of his already crowded resume. Trekkies know him as Vorin from Star Trek TNG “Homeworld,” then an appearance as Lt. Durst in VOY “Cathexis” and “Faces,” the latter of which he did double duty as the mad Vidiian scientist Sulan. Finally, he wrapped up his time in the cosmos on DS9 in the fifth season episode “In The Cards” as the wacky Dr. Elias Giger.

Besides telling stories about his time on Trek, Markinson explains how he transitioned from theatre into TV and film, how that led to working on “Angels in America” on HBO with Al Pacino and Patrick Wilson, his unique “X-Files” episodes, “12 Rounds Reloaded” with WWE superstar with Randy Orton, working with Woody Allen and Wallace Shawn, and much more in this frenetic chat with a highly talented actor who has seen and done it all.
