John Larroquette of Night Court fame played the Klingon Maltz in ST III: The Search for Spock.
There was an episode of the new Night Court which revolved around New York Comic Con and had Dan dressed up as a Klingon.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

I recently saw that one on a flight! I had a feeling he played in Star Trek at some point but didn't have the connectivity to look it up.
This is not that clip
Speaking of the original Night Court, Brent Spiner had a recurring role as Bob Wheeler.
It's wild.
The second I read that I instantly knew the character and realized I'd never made the connection.
The only Wheeler line I can remember is his wife looking at the Public Defender's proud bosom and saying that she'd had a nice rack before the six kids.
Hello. It's us.
Yep, in fact he gave up a spot as a regular to take the role of Data. They were going to have him take over the concession stand in the cafeteria.
Ha! I would never have recognized him. Sometimes the actor is so clearly "there" under all the prosthetics and makeup.
