Sometimes two of the greatest fictional universes share some familiar faces and voices.

Star Wars and Star Trek are undoubtedly the largest and most famous fictional universes among those that tell the story of space adventure.

While one is a vast space opera that often takes liberties with the laws of physics, and the other takes a more traditional sci-fi approach, both have been around for a long time and have millions of fans around the world.

And with such great scope, it is not surprising that some actors have appeared in both properties over the years.
