This week on Trek Tuesday, we beam into convention territory with the legendary Vaughn Armstrong, whose theatrical roots brought unforgettable depth to the Star Trek universe. With a staggering 12 distinct characters across 27 episodes—including five on Voyager alone—Armstrong’s versatility is a masterclass in transformation. From Klingons to Cardassians, and most memorably as Admiral Forrest on Star Trek: Enterprise, his performances are etched into Trek lore.

🎭 Stage to Starfleet Vaughn shares how his classical theater background shaped his approach to each role, revealing the emotional and physical nuances behind the mask of alien prosthetics. Whether commanding a starship or navigating interstellar diplomacy, his characters always carried a pulse of humanity.

🎶 The Banjolele Chronicles Beyond the screen, Vaughn’s musical talents shine through his banjolele—a ukulele played in banjo style. He treats us to stories from his American roots repertoire, including Civil War-era songs and folk traditions that echo the soul of a different kind of frontier.
