I'm going with William Windom:

Staving off reality:

Doing a villain turn by seizing control:

Matt's heroic sacrifice:

Finally, one of the most nail-biting scenes ever:

Personal notes: across all TV and media, I've rarely seen a character go from totally sympathetic, to total heel-turn villain, to total martyr like that.

In terms of ST series, maybe Dukat from DS..?

Runner-ups?

  • Mark Lenard as the Romulan commander

  • Robert Walker as "Charlie X"

  • Roger C. Carmel as "Harry Mudd"


Daggit, I know I'm forgetting some actors, here...

William Campbell is my favorite, too. His characters were all so over the top.

TNG spoilers:


SpoilerHey, was he one of the Q? Just never revealing himself?! Playing with this great starship captain for amusement.
