Maury Ginsberg aboard USS Voyager (2372)

Maury Ginsberg (appearing as himself) was a spotlight operator at the famous Woodstock music festival in New York on Earth in 1969. He hitched a lift to the concert and noticed a disconnected cable that could have ruined the concert. He was not aware that the man who drove him there was the member of the Q Continuum later known as Quinn.

Following the concert, Ginsberg would go on to meet his future wife, the groovy chick with the long red beads that was in the backseat of Quinn's jeep. He would then go on to become a successful orthodontist, settled in Scarsdale with four kids.

Ginsberg was brought aboard the USS Voyager by Q in 2372 along with Sir Isaac Newton and William Riker to provide evidence of Quinn's influence on history. He was returned shortly afterwards with no memory of this. (VOY: "Death Wish")

Maury Ginsburg, an actor appeared as himself in this episode, but does not appear to be old enough to have worked at Woodstock. The episode's writers, Shawn and Michael Piller, decided to go ahead and use his name for the character after he was cast.
