Changes: Stephen McHattie

Revision as of 22:08, 13 February 2006

As Vreenak.

Actor Stephen McHattie (born February 4, 1947 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada) is best known to Star Trek fans for his role as Romulan Senator Vreenak in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "In the Pale Moonlight". One of his lines from that episode, "It's a fake!", has become a popular Star Trek quotation. He also played the alien foreman in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "The Xindi".

Outside of Trek, he is perhaps best known for playing the title role in the 1976 made-for-television movie James Dean. Co-starring with him in this movie was fellow future DS9 guest star Meg Foster, whom he ultimately married. However, they have since divorced.

Another role he is well-known for is that of Gabriel during the final season of Beauty and the Best, starring Ron Perlman, who would go on to appear in Star Trek: Nemesis. McHattie would later guest star (with Jimmie F. Skaggs) on an episode of The Magnificent Seven, also starring Perlman (as well as Rick Worthy).

He also made several appearances as Dr. Reston on the hit series Senfeld, starring Jason Alexander and also guest-starring Heidi Swedberg. McHattie made guest appearances on many other TV shows featuring fellow Trek performers as regular cast members, including Hill Street Blues (starring Barbara Babcock and James B. Sikking), Spencer: For Hire (starring Avery Brooks), Crime Story (starring Bill Smitrovich), Law & Order (starring Paul Sorvino), L.A. Law (starring Corbin Bernsen and Larry Drake), and Birds of Prey (starring Dina Meyer and Ian Abercrombie). He also appeared on Spencer: For Hire opposite his Deep Space Nine co-star Avery Brooks (as well as Michael Zaslow) and in the final episode Quantum Leap opposite his Enterprise co-star Scott Bakula (as well as Dean Stockwell, Susan Diol, Richard Herd, Bruce McGill, and W. Morgan Sheppard).

McHattie was also among the many Star Trek alumni to appear in the 1978 TV mini-series Centennial. Among his co-stars were Michael Ansara, Henry Darrow, Cliff deYoung, Robert Doqui, Robert Easton, Brian Keith, Sally Kellerman, Nick Ramus, Clive Revill, James Sloyan, and Morgan Woodward.

McHattie has also proven his vocal talents, having given voice to the character of The Shade on the animated Justice League in 2002 and 2003.

Starsky and Hutch episode "Terror on the Docks" (1975) with David Soul, Kenneth Tobey and Garry Walberg
