The diverse cast of the Star Trek franchise enlists the acting talent of performers all over the United States, and we’re looking at the best actor from each state.
The cast of Star Trek doesn’t discriminate when it comes to picking talent. It’s not just New York and Los Angeles where performers in the franchise have come from. They’ve picked up actors and actresses from all across the United States, and we’ll be looking at the best actor from each one of them.
Well, except for a select few, like Alaska, Idaho, and Nebraska. Someone from one of these states has yet to make a splash in the Star Trek universe. With that said, let’s check out each of the rest of the fifty states’ best contributions to Star Trek, beginning with…
Alabama – Louise Fletcher
The Academy award winning actress Louise Fletcher has been performing since 1959. She is known to many as Nurse Ratchett in the classic drama movie
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
. But Trekkies will know her for one of her biggest television roles.
On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Fletcher plays Kai Winn Adami, a Bajoran leader. She held this recurring role from 1993 to 1999. The talented actress has also won Emmys from her other roles on television.
