Summary

One of the many joys of "Star Trek" is that, thanks to the vast and ever-sprawling universe of movies and shows over its 60 years of existence, there's always room for supporting characters to loom incredibly large. Some reach those lofty heights quite organically — the potential for fan-favorites like Andrew Robinson's Elim Garak in "Deep Space Nine" or even Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes) in "The Next Generation" felt apparent almost as soon as they arrived on the scene, for example.
