Great One-offs

[DC] Picard Loves Reds

I'd like to propose a new collection called "Great One-offs." This collection would consist of cards representing one-episode characters played by recurring actors, holograms and dream/vision characters exempted. An example already in the game is:
JG Hertzler as Kolos and Laas

Other possibilities include:
Ethan Phillips as Ulis in ENT
Marc Alaimo as Frederick La Rouque in TNG
Robert O'Reilly as Scarface in TNG

NOTE: I have not thouroughly checked existing cards for other possibilities already in-game.

This collection has great potential. It could have everyone from Penk to Colonel West, even Arex and M’Ress if you wanted to get picky.

Jeffery Combs could have his own collection. Maybe it should be called "Combing through the Universe."

Would Suzie Plakson currently count - Lt Selar and played K'Ehlyr, however Tarah is also in game.

There's actually quite a collection

There would have to be a Vaughn Armstrong wing in this collection:

Prime Lorca

Would Aron Eisenberg count for the couple episodes he played in Voyager?

For the Kazon he played, absolutely. I don't remember any other roles he did.

This reminds me that we have a criminal lack of Vaughn Armstrong characters in the game...I think the only one is R’Mor. We could get a Commodore Forrest, at least one Admiral Forrest, and Mirror Captain Forrest, never mind the litany of other characters he portrayed over the years.

To clarify my thought, a recurring actor is one who "regularly" appeared in a series and was given credit at the beginning of the episode, typically just after the opening theme. They may not have been given credit for the one-off character they played.

I would argue that both Plaxton and Combs are borderline as their "main" character didn't appear often enough to be considered as "regularly" appearing. Without do a deep analysis, I'll throw out an appearane rate of greater than 20% is needed to be counted as "regularly appearing." Anyone is welcome to disagree with this sentiment.

I don’t necessarily disagree with that, I just think it might be a small collection. We could have a big collection if we expand the definition to include recurring guest stars’ one-time alternative roles - but not one-off roles from actors who routinely only did one-off roles...such a collection would not include Juliana Tainer, Enina Tandro, and Ambassador V’Lar, for example, no matter how much we all may love Fionnula Flanagan.

Good point Dirk. I guess I envisioned the collection staying fairly small, like Wild West. But your idea would open it up to a bigger pool of options.
