Been making my way through some select episodes of TNG, DS9 & VOY
Forgotten all the guest stars they have played multiple characters over the years.

So far I have spotted Ethan Phillips and Armin Shimerman as early ferengi.
Know there are certain actors that have become imfaous for doing so in Star Trek like Jeffrey Combs.

Is there any one who has taken you be surprise?
I certainly did with that ferengi, I was thinking wait a minute ain’t that Neelix?! lol

*Edit, Sorry about the typo in the title. Typing on the iPad. lol

Robin Curtis does at least one stint I believe in TNG post Saavik.

The Benzite is played by the same actor though two different characters in TNG.

Suzie Plakson.

John Fleck hit three series, best known as Silik from Enterprise.
 
Not even sure where to begin... so many were cast in multiple roles.

Robert O'Reilly - before he was Gowron, he was the thug in "Manhunt" that grabbed Picard by the collar, and he was the money counter in DS9's "BADDA-BING, BADDA-BANG". (Those eyes are unmistakable.)

Max Grodenchik - two different Ferengi before becoming Rom. ("Captain's Holiday", "The Perfect Mate")

Armin Shimerman - two different Ferengi before becoming Quark ("Lonely Among Us", "Peak Performance") and the talking box in "Haven".

Jerry Hardin - Radue in "When The Bough Breaks", Samuel Clemens in the "Time's Arrow" two-parter, and the scientist in VOY's "EMANATIONS".

Judson Scott - TWOK, "Symbiosis", "MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE"

Suzie Plakson - Dr. Selar, K'Ehleyr, and female Q.

Brian Thompson - "A Matter Of Honor", STAR TREK: GENERATIONS, "RULES OF ACQUISITION", "TO THE DEATH"

Carolyn Seymour - two different Romulans, Mirasta Yale, and the woman in Janrway's gothic holonovel.


There's just too many to list in one post.
 
I think it's funny that "Best Villain" Marc Alaimo started out his Trek career under space dog make-up in Lonely Among Us.
Really? I didn’t know that. I knew played an early cardassian in TNG.
 
Tim Russ - played a terrorist (TNG) Enterprise B officer (Generations) and a Klingon (DS9) before playing Voyager's logical security chief, Tuvok.

Martha Hackett also had a few roles aside from Seska.

Tony Todd played Kurn and Jake Sisko

The drone from voyager's "drone" played an SS officer in "Killing game"
