Varel – Susanna Thompson
We need to point out that Susanna Thompson’s appearance on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was a seriously controversial appearance in TV land. Why? Well her character engaged in television’s first ever same-sex kiss in the United States. Although that never damaged her career, and rightly so, as she has most recently starred as Moira Queen on Arrow and Carolyn Preston on Timeless.

Doctor Julian Bashir – Alexander Siddig
Alexander Siddig originally auditioned for the part of Commander Benjamin Sisko, but Berman, the producer, believed Siddig was too young for the role and instead cast him as Dr. Julian Bashir. Safe to say that it all worked out in the end! As Siddig has gone on to star in many films and television shows, with his most notable work in Game of Thrones as Doran Martell.
