It’s a common enough occurrence that it’s known as a career killer: too many Star Trek stars have come and gone, leaving little to no trace of their presence in their wakes. Faster than you can say, “Beam me up, Scotty,” they disappear, careers and all. Plenty of fan theories exist as to why this happens; for starters, there are so many characters over each incarnation of Star Trek that it’s bound to happen to at least some actors. Not every fan favorite can go on to become a celebrity.

But there’s that whole typecasting possibility as well. Since many of the stars who did go on to remain famous actors stuck to the sci-fi field, there’s even some proof to support the idea that once you’ve gone into deep space (Nine or otherwise), you’re never coming back.

Of course, plenty of actors just up and decide to squash the original acting bug that landed them onto the Enterprise, whether opting to step out of the limelight completely or moving on to another career path in the business. They might have even made it big in the production department, but their acting careers, once so promising, still flopped in the process.

A couple of the spin-offs have been centered on other things besides the Enterprise. I have seen Ethan Phillips do other acting, and I know Kate Mulgrew and Robert Picardo have, but I don't know acting for the rest of the cast.
Take care and God bless
