Five Star Trek actors who appeared in Oppenheimer

Scott Grimes – The Next Generation episode Evolution

If you didn’t see Scott Grimes in the film, or notice him at all, we don’t blame you. We only know that Grimes was in the film thanks to IMDB. Grimes, most known for his roles as Steve Smith on American Dad and his involvement in the Trek-homage show, The Orville, Grimes appeared in The Next Generation’s “Evolution” as a bit character.

John Gowans – The Motion Picture

John Gowans had a significant role in one of the three time periods depicted in Oppenheimer’s core story, but before he was deciding the central character’s worthiness for security clearance, he was a background character on The Motion Picture, playing a teleporter assistant.

Harry Groener – Enterprise: Demons and Terra Prime/TNG: Tin Man/ VOY: The Magistrate

Arguably the most traveled Trek actor in the film is Harry Groener, who played roles in Enterprise, Voyager, and The Next Generation, with arguably his best roles coming in Enterprise, where he played Nathan Samuels.

Steven Houska – Voyager: The Swarm

Another Trek actor who popped up in Oppenheimer was Steven Houska, who had a small role on Star Trek Voyager’s episode, “The Swarm”.

Jack Quad – Lower Decks: Brad Boilmer

Lastly and most recognizable is Jack Quaid, star of The Boys and Star Trek: Lower Decks. Quaid undoubtedly has/had the biggest role of anyone on this list when it comes to Trek, while also having the largest role of anyone from Trek in Oppenheimer.
