 "Sci
Fi On The Rock III" is proud to present it's guest
of honor for the 2009 Convention, VAUGHN ARMSTRONG!
Vaughn
Armstrong (born 7 July 1950; age 57) is a veteran Star
Trek actor who is noted for portraying thirteen separate
characters in twenty-eight episodes over four separate
series. He is one of only five actors to play seven
or more different characters in the Star Trek franchise.
His characters include a Human, a mirror universe Human,
a Romulan, a Borg, a Vidiian, a Kreetassan, a Hirogen,
two Cardassians, and three Klingons. He is best known
for his recurring character Maxwell Forrest. He appeared
in the second episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
and the penultimate one. He has the distinction of playing
the first Klingon on Star Trek: The Next Generation,
apart from Worf.
Mr. Armstrong's talents also extend into the musical
arena. He has mastered the ukulele, using a "banjo"-style
ukulele (commonly known as a banjolele) he made himself.
With it he entertains audiences with Civil War-era songs
and roots music, leading into the blues music he plays
with others. His Trek-related blues songs are popular
at convention appearances. Mr. Armstrong also sings
lead vocals in his folk-song band, The Enterprise Blues
Band. He has joked on stage during conventions that
he is the innovator of Klingon "gutbucket" music and
Andorian blues.
Outside of Star Trek, he appeared in two episodes of
the third season of Babylon 5 as the leader of the "Nightwatch"
on the station, alongside Andreas Katsulas and Bill
Mumy.
