Jeffrey Combs is an American actor highly regarded for his numerous roles in the Star Trek franchise, especially in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9). He played multiple characters in DS9, including the Vorta clone Weyoun, which was his most significant and favorite role, and the Ferengi character Brunt. Combs uniquely appeared as both characters in the same episode, "The Dogs of War," becoming one of the few actors to play two different characters in one DS9 episode. Beyond DS9, he also appeared in Star Trek: Enterprise as the Andorian commander Shran, in Star Trek: Voyager, and in Star Trek: Lower Decks with voice roles.
