Which Star Trek actors have played the most different species?


Some groundwork to keep the numbers 'clean':

One - Let's stick to speaking actors, not stunt actors or the people in monster suits.

Two - Purely holographic or hallucinated characters count as whatever species they appear as.

Three - Changelings, Prophets, and characters in disguise all count as their 'base' species, not the one they're appearing as.

Four - Hybrid characters only count for one species - preferably the one they most match phenotypically, so Spock would only count as a Vulcan, and B'Elanna Torres as Klingon.

"He is one of only five actors to play seven or more different characters in the Star Trek franchise, the others being Randy Oglesby, J.G. Hertzler, Vaughn Armstrong and Thomas Kopache".
