I've been really enjoying spotting people I know in TNG (that was Patricia Tallman a few episodes back!). All of a sudden I hear ... the magnificent Rotti Largo??? No, it's the actor (duh)!

Seeing him play a role here that's very different in personality from the role for which I know him (Repo! the Genetic Opera) is SO strange, but it's good! HE is good. I like it. I'm not sure if it counts as a spoiler to say how he's connected to the main cast for the week, but for anyone who doesn't remember, the adopted character has a sibling, the adoptive parents' biological child, and that's who Sorvino is playing here (I believe for his second appearance in the series; I just didn't make a post about it last time, LOL).

I'm actually a little surprised that they brought him in and he DIDN'T do any bits of opera. It would have fit with ST's usual welcoming attitude toward "classical" art forms.

Who were your favorite guest stars (not just in TNG, but across all Trekdom)? Anyone you remember as more famous from more recent years, and seeing them do bit parts in older Trek is fun? Am I the only one who recognizes them by voice (Tomolauk/G'kar, I mean you)?
