... as Calvin "Cal" Hudson
Bernie Casey (born 8 June 1939; age 84) played Calvin Hudson in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes "The Maquis, Part I" and "The Maquis, Part II".
Casey was not a Star Trek fan when he was cast as Hudson. In a 1994 interview he said "``I did "The Maquis" because I wanted to work with Avery Brooks, whom I admire as an actor". Casey was impressed by Brooks' performances in Spenser for Hire and A Man Called Hawk. [1] Among his film work, Casey starred in the 1984 comedy hit, Revenge Of The Nerds with James Cromwell and Brian Tochi. He portrayed Admiral Vanalden in a memorable episode of seaQuest 2032 entitled "Chains of Command" alongside Gary Bristow (who played one of the stablehands in ENT: "North Star"), where his adversary's name was also Hudson. He also played Bubba Haywood in Roots: The Next Generations with Brock Peters, Percy Rodriguez, John Rubinstein, Bruce French, and Paul Winfield. Casey is also one of the only Star Trek actors to have played a major role in the James Bond film franchise, becoming the first African-American to play CIA agent Felix Leiter opposite Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again.
