The Rock & 9 More Star Trek Celeb Cameos Only True Trekkies Remember
With the passage of time, people have begun to forget how massively popular "Star Trek" once was, being one of the most watched television shows on air and even competing with "Star Wars" for the title of best space opera.
And while "Star Trek " is still popular among the die-hard fans, it's popularity is a far cry from the amount of attention the space explorers received just two decades ago. And the sheer number of major actors making guest appearances on the show in the past is the most definitive proof of that.
Here are 10 Star Trek guest stars you may have forgotten:
Of course, not all of the A-listers mentioned above were as popular as they are now when they first joined the "Star Trek" universe, and probably saw their guest roles as a big opportunity, but the fact that the franchise has nurtured so much talent is certainly impressive.
What's more, people like Iggy Pop and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson were already world-famous when they appeared on "Star Trek," clearly not for the money, but out of sheer respect for the space opera and its story.
Let's hope that "Star Trek" will regain its former popularity in the future and hire more A-listers to guest star in future shows!
