...as a colonist

Douglas Tait (born 17 December 1978; age 45) is an actor and stuntman who appeared as a Gaia colonist in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Children of Time". He also portrayed the character Brian, a long faced alien, who sat between Uhura and Kirk when they first met in the Dodge bar, in 2009's Star Trek. [1] [2]

Hailing from Tarzana, California, Tait trained as an actor under TOS guest star Kim Darby. He is the grandson of legendary composer Reggie Montgomery and the brother of actor Matthew Tait. Since 8 March 2003 he has been married to actress Isabel Cueva.

Doug Tait co-starred with his wife in the films Short Fuse (2005), North by El Norte (2007), and Carts (2007) with the legendary actor Warren Stevens who appeared in TOS, playing the role of Rojan in 1968. Carts won the Best Feature Film Award at the Valley Film Festival in September 2007.

In addition to DS9, Tait has appeared on such television shows as 7th Heaven (starring Stephen Collins and Catherine Hicks), Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Mad TV, Drake & Josh, and Jericho (on which he also worked as a stuntman). His film credits as both an actor and stunt performer include Purple Heart (2005, starring William Sadler and Ed Lauter) and Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005), which was directed by Jon Favreau.

Tait played the role of the hockey-mask wearing serial killer Jason Vorhees in the ending scenes of the 2003 horror film Freddy vs. Jason. He also performed stunts in Paramount Pictures release Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. More recently, he played a Sleestak in the upcoming film Land of the Lost, which, like Star Trek, will be composed by Michael Giacchino.
