Did you know, in the season 4 DS9 episode "The Visitor", they didn't just use make up to make Jake look older. They used a different actor.

Oh, I know this one. Both played by Jeffrey Combs, right?
It's essentially a one-man show.
And we would watch that
Next thing you're gonna tell me is Brent Spiner played the old dude who created Data. They were just lucky enough to find an actor who looked close enough to Spinner to play his brother Lore
Brent Spiner's identical twin brother played Lore too.
They really lucked out that Spinner was cold and unemotional while his twin brother was emotional and unstable. And his other twin looked like a really old guy.
His second identical twin plays Brent Spiner!
Who also sings!
Or Data's brother, Lore
She is not recognizable without the cleavage.
Come on now. One actress has forehead ridges. The other doesn't. That's a pretty big feature to miss.
I just watched this episode. It’s a good one.
It’s funny how quickly Counselor Troi just simply accepts that she’s been abducted and is playing a spy all of a sudden. sure, she’s pissed at first, but then she’s like, “fuck it, I guess we’re doing this“
I think it was this episode where Marina Sirtis first noticed the the intelligence of her character's dialogue was inversely proportional to the visibility of her breasts.

“There are certain rules in Hollywood. One of the rules is not written anywhere, but you just know: if you’re doing an action-adventure show, you gotta have chicks on the show for the boys to look at when they’re not blowing up other spaceships. Second rule: if the chick has a cleavage, she cannot have a brain.
“So, [after wearing a uniform in the first episode] I got a cleavage, and all my gray matter departed. Which was sad, because originally (I know this is gonna shock you), Troi was supposed to be the brains of the Enterprise. So when the cleavage came, all that left, and I became decorative, like a potted palm on the bridge.”
i guess we doin romulan now

Just watched some ENT episodes where Shao Kahn (Mortal Kombat) was helping some Romulans.
I hate the fact Brian Thompson never got more/bigger roles
I agree! But maybe it was because he was so short? (Joking) he was... shortlisted.
Romulans be rocking that red lipstick too.
My immersion was ruined without the overly sexualized outfit though.
Check out the shoulder pads on that harlot:
Yeah, he looks ridiculous.
Wow. I just realized I need a suspicious Romulan mommy in my life.
*Momulan.
Nice titbit thanks Picard!
