I'm not gonna be satisfied until someone finds an actor that was in both Star Trek and AirWolf so I have an excuse to use the AirWolf theme during a space battle.
Until then, using a toothpick to eject a warp core will work.
I'd like to think it's just because he's a working actor who will do pretty much any role for a decent paycheck, but he was also in one of the Atlas Shrugged movies.
That said, he was also great as Satan in Reaper, a show that was canceled way too soon.
