So I’ve been rewatching lots of old shows over the past few years that I watched as a kid and remember enjoying.  The latest reinstallment of this pattern would be Disney’s Gargoyles.  It’s still a lot of fun to watch even though the antagonists’ plots are a little... unbelievable sometimes :-).  The main reason I wanted to mention it though was the fact that it has a plethora of star trek actors, mostly from Next Generation, showing up in it.  Hearing familiar voices I recognize always makes me smile, especially when put to animated characters.  The ones I’ve recognized so far are: .ActorTable th { border-bottom:solid 1px white; weight:normal; color:white; text-align:left; }.ActorTable th, .ActorTable td { padding-left:10px; }Actor NameGargoyles RoleStar Trek RoleJonathan FrakesXanatos (Main antagonist)Will RikerMarina SirtisDemonaDeanna TroiMichael DornColdSteel (One of Goliath’s rookery brothers) + Tarus in “The New Olympians”Worf Brent SpinerPuck (Yes, Oberon/Titania’s fairy)DataNichelle NicholsDiane Maza (Female Cop’s mother)Uhura (OST)Colm MeaneyMr. Dugan in “The Hound of Ulster”Miles O’BrienKate MulgrewTitania & Anastasia (Fox’s Mother)Katherine JanewayAvery BrooksNokkar in “Sentinel” (Digitally enhanced)Benjamin SiskoLeVar BurtonAnansi the spider in “Mark of the Panther” (Digitally enhanced)Geordi LaForgeJohn Rhys-DaviesMacBethLeonardo Da Vinci (Voyager... hey, he counts for Star Trek!! XD)But of course, many of these actors have played dozens to hundreds of other rolls and deserve to be known for more than just Star Trek, including recently Nichelle Nichols on Heroes, right after George Takei (Sulu) left the stage.  If you haven’t ever seen any of Takei’s stand up, I would like to note it’s good stuff, and that he has a wonderful sense of humor.On another note, John Rhys has always been one of my favorite actors too.  He’s been in more things than you could shake a stick at, and you probably wouldn’t have even realized about half of them.  Most people nowadays would most readily recognize him as Gimli from the Lord of the Rings movies.One other recent smile came during rewatching DuckTales.  I’m sure anyone of my age group that watched the show will remember the Golden Goose episodes.  I had just noticed on a recent rewatching of the series that when the mystical water is used to turn things back from gold, it uses the lightsaber activation sound :-).
