Haven't we seen Nestor...?

Although his name does not appear in the credits, I have often wondered if the Nestor that is killed on Sador's ship was in fact played by Brent Spiner (Star Treks Data). The voice is remarkably similar and even the face I thought matched. His line about it being 'good to have skills' when he is about to be cut up by the doctor, I thought had a certain dead pan ring to it. The same way that he portrayed Data in the early series.

Anybody else think that? Maybe he used a different stage name when he was younger?

I don't know the actors name. But he was on a lot of TV shows back then. Often playing a PITA middle management fussbudget type.

sorry I can't be more help.

I don't doubt you. But the Nestor's, despite being clones were played by different actors- the one I was thinking of was definitely a younger actor, than the one who conversed with Cowboy and Chad.

I'm not really me. Thats me there- that pile of albino mouse droppings!
