#Deep space nine cast garik series#
From vampire/topiary artist Laszlo Cravensworth on the series What We Do In The Shadows to guest roles in Community and Portlandia, to Berry's wide array of voice work in Disenchantment and The Book of Boba Fett, Berry has proven he's perfect to play the role of the cranky, quirky Quark. And there is no actor more suited to take over the role than comedy royalty Matt Berry, who has mastered the art of playing ridiculous characters who take themselves far too seriously. But while his character arc had moments of seriousness, he was also a paragon of comedic relief, zinging his customers with one-liners, playing cat-and-mouse with security chief Odo, and providing levity on the space station with his trademark gambling, holosuite debauchery, and all the drinks one could want. Always scheming to make a profit, Quark balanced his Ferengi cultural identity with the immigrant's tale, exploring the personal conflict that comes from being of one culture while living in another. Though the Ferengi barkeeper, Quark, wasn't a member of Starfleet, the economically-minded character, brilliantly played by Armin Shimerman, embodied everything that made Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fresh and new. If anyone (besides the amazing Terry Farrell, who originated the role of Jadzia Dax) can pull off the complex and endearing character, it is Maslany. She was compassionate as clone Cosima, and hilarious as soccer mom clone Allison. Maslany has proven that she can be brutal in clone Helena, an assassin trained to kill those that are like her. Because of these complexities, the perfect actress to portray the role in an updated version of DS9 can only be Tatiana Maslany, who played 17 different clones in Orphan Black, all with different personalities, appearances, and experiences. She is a complex character who embodies many personalities in one, merged whole. Because of her connection to the symbiont and its prior hosts, Jadzia has experiences as both a mother and father, a wife and a husband. She took on some of each of the prior hosts' personality traits and memories, gaining a love of Klingon cuisine and fighting style, as well as a connection to Benjamin Sisko through his friendship with her symbiont's prior host, Curzon Dax. Jadzia Dax, the joined Trill that served as Deep Space Nine's science officer, was eight characters wrapped up in one body thanks to her symbiont's long lifespan and the seven prior hosts that had joined with it. She is also capable of the femininity and wit that Visitor brought to the role of Kira Nerys, and would serve as an excellent First Officer. Winstead has earned the right to be called an action star, but still has the range to play the complex Kira. But Nerys is complex and often morally gray, which would be an excellent role for the talented Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who has appeared in films like Kate and 10 Cloverfield Lane. The character of Nerys serves as a departure from previous female Star Trek main characters, who were often seen as "helper" characters. Portrayed by Nana Visitor, Nerys is intelligent and kind-hearted, but can also be hot-headed and stubborn.
Unlike much of the Star Trek universe, Bajor is a religious society, and Nerys's faith, along with her history as a guerilla fighter and terrorist against the Cardassian occupation, makes her a very different sort of character than most of her Star Trek predecessors.
Kira Nerys served as Sisko's First Officer throughout Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and the Bajoran major (later to become commander, then captain) proved to be one of the most complicated of Star Trek characters to date.
