I have noticed a number of actors from various parts of the Star Trek franchise also playing parts in The Orville. Seth MacFarlane is obviously a huge Star Trek fan.
Have I missed any?
There have been a considerable number of individuals who share an acting credit in both The Orville and a Star Trek property.
