Discuss The Orville

Robert Picardo , the doctor form Voyager, did a cameo as Alara's father. It was fun to see him. What did you think and who else would you like to see show up from the Trek-iverse?

Good catch! I didn't recognize him.

Yeah it was great to see Robert Picardo, I hope he makes more guest appearances even if they’re just short video messages.

I’d love to see more actors from TNG, DS9 and Voyager involved in this show, I expect Patrick Stewart will show up randomly or voice a character at some point too.

The woman that played her mother was also in at least 1 episode of DS9 and may have had other roles in the Trek universe.

Yes, she looked familiar so I looked up her credits, Molly Hagan. I thought she was on SNL for a while but I didn't see her listed for that. Lots of other credits though.

Robert Picardo might not stand out by looks, at least when he's not playing the doctor. But that voice is unmistable and instantly recognizable. Like Katherine "Natira" Woodville from TOS. I've caught her in a few other roles, and it's her voice that I always recognize first. Sadly, she died in 2013.

I'm glad it was a one-off (hopefully). The last couple of series he has appeared in, he was a new character inserted into a cast that was doing just fine before he came. He always seems to play a character that is overly pretentious & very annoying.

Well, at least if a role actually calls for those things, he's definitely got the voice and mannerisms for it.

Love the guest stars on the show. Nice list: Picardo, Theron, Neeson, Lowe, and of course, Baboo (the guy who played Raj's Dad on Big Bang).
