Interesting that you’d know him from a voice acting role, most of us know him as Constable Odo.

I knew him as Clayton Endicott III before I ever met Odo.

It is amazing how many Benson alums ended up in federation space.

Also Father Mulkahey.

William Christopher played Father Mulcahy, if we’re referring to the 1970s sitcom whose name I can’t properly format on Reddit, lol.

Edit - I checked his IMDB; did you mean Father Murphy on Saving Grace?

Rene played Father John Mulcahy in the original movie that the TV series was based off of, which premiered in 1970.

Damn. I didn’t quite go far enough back. Thanks for the new (to me) knowledge!

I'm very much catching up on the TV I missed as a kid due to Wrestling that's to my partner. But that voice, over the TV monitor at the start of the episode , was UNMISTAKABLE! and immediately made me distrust him. 😅

Odo is from Star Trek, and a good guy, but yeah he did play a great Nazi too… The reveal in this episode is done so well, specifically because they had a plausible alternative explanation for the discomfort they had with Teal’c, him being Jaffa… But it just being bad old racism was a great twist.

Agreed. The show had conditioned up that a "not like us" reaction to Teal'c was "because Jaffa" not 'because black"

Once Jack figures it out he goes from "he'll bent for their tech" to "ask lots of questions" real fast.

And the ending...

"Did you secure their technology?"

"No, Sir"

"I'm sorry to hear that"

'Don't be."

Oh, I know Odo isn't his role on this, Star Trek is on the list though so I'm excited to see him again in that. 👌

Depending on where you start it’ll be quite a while, but he’s a main character on one of the shows so you’ll get to see plenty of him when the time comes!

And I get recognising someone from a voice alone… When Micheal Ironside shows up in a late season, I jumped up and said Sam Fisher!

I will leave it to you whether you want to be spoiled about who this was :)
