...as Admiral Erik Pressman
Actor Terry O'Quinn (born 15 July 1952; age 71) appeared as Admiral Erik Pressman, William T. Riker's former CO in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Pegasus". Despite playing Riker's much older superior officer, O'Quinn is actually one month older than actor Jonathan Frakes.
One of O'Quinn's most memorable roles was Jerry Blake (aka "The Stepfather") in the 1987 horror film The Stepfather. Other notable roles include aviator Howard Hughes in the 1991 film The Rocketeer (co-starring fellow Trek actors William O. Campbell, Paul Sorvino, Ed Lauter, Tiny Ron, Max Grodénchik, Clint Howard, and William Boyett), as well as regular roles on the Chris Carter-produced series Millennium and Harsh Realm. He also played the role as Captain (and later Admiral) Thomas Boone in ten episodes of CBS's court-room drama JAG.
O'Quinn made his feature film debut in the 1980 drama Heaven's Gate, starring Brad Dourif. In 1988, he played Alex McSween in the action western Young Guns, a film which also featured Brian Keith. In 1990, he co-starred with George Takei in the war drama Prisoners of the Sun. The following year, he co-starred with DS9 guest star Tim Ransom and ENT guest star Dean Stockwell in the telefilm Son of the Morning Star.
He played the role of Mayor John P. Clum in 1993's Tombstone, which tells of the battle at the OK Corral. In 1996, he co-starred with Whoopi Goldberg, Susanna Thompson, Virginia Madsen, Richard Riehle, Bill Cobbs, Thomas Kopache, Bill Smitrovich, and the late Brock Peters in Ghosts of Mississippi. In 2000, he had a role in HBO's Rated X, alongside DS9's Nicole de Boer.
O'Quinn had a recurring role as FBI Asstant Director Kendall on the J.J. Abrams-produced ABC drama Alias. He can currently be seen playing the mysterious John Locke on another of Abrams' current TV series, Lost, alongside fellow Trek alumni Daniel Dae Kim, Alan Dale and Sam Anderson.
- It is interesting to note that in an episode of Lost, one of the other characters tells O'Quinn's character if he has seen Star Trek, whilst talking about the redshirt curse of the Original Series. O'Quinn's character says, "No, not really."
O'Quinn earned his first Emmy Award nomination for his role on Lost in 2005. In 2007 he received another nomination, which he won, beating out, among others, William Shatner, who was up for Boston Legal. Lost is due to continue until 2010.
