He was also a random guest star bad guy of the week on The Next Generation, in the episode "Starship Mine." I had forgotten this, and it is especially jarring when you stumble across that episode after you're used to him being Tuvok.

Tim Russ guest starred a bunch of times in Trek. He was in Generations, he was a klingon on DS9, he even got to play his mirror self on DS9.
Wasn't he also in one of the movies?
He was in Generations
When Sulu was captain of Excelsior, that's right. I feel like they alluded to this in a Voyager episode, like this was his real first assignment, and then he spent time making a family. So rather than him being a random character in the movie, he was now canonically Tuvok on his first stint with the Federation.
He played a bridge officer on the Enterprise B in Generations. Human by the look of him. So probably not Tuvok.
this would be what we call a retcon.
I'm old enough that it was the other way around for me.

He's also the principal from iCarly
Different shows but I watched this star trek DS9 episode last night and heard a familiar voice
Man Tuvok really cut loose.
Actors gonna act.
he was also the principal in iCarly.
Yes actors sometimes appear in more than one thing. I'm gonna blow your mind with this shit here: imdb.com
