Jeffrey Combs

[–] Mordachai_Shedbacon@lemm.ee 49 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Jeffrey Combs played the self-sealing stembolt?!!! I can't breathe

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 8 points 2 years ago

He was also supposed to play the Yamok sauce, but that scene got cut.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 26 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I would like to see a one off episode where Jeffery Combs plays everyone like that Eddie Murphy movie I forget the name of. Have the director tell him to go nuts as well as the makeup guys.

[–] Stoney_Logica1@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

There's far more than one where Eddie plays multiple characters.

Nutty Professor II: The Klumps.

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Jeff Portnoy did it too.

[–] TheFriendlyArtificer@beehaw.org 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think Combs deserves his own spin-off series where he leaps™ into the bodies of various franchise characters that he has played in order to right some previous wrong.

Co-starring Captain Archer as his invisible assistant.

[–] KickyMcAssington@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Oh boy.

I love this idea.

"Hi Jeff, this is Terry from Paramount, and--"

"Yes."

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My favorite will always be Brunt, FCA.

[–] kamenLady@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 2 years ago

He was the one i did not recognize. Only much later i read it somewhere.

Oooh I didn't know a few of those. So many Jeffrey Combs to choose from, I just can't decide!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I especially liked him in the Weekend at Bernie's episode of DS9.

[–] incendiaryperihelion@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

lmao just running in to the wall repeatedly edit: just remembered that that was the other vorta dude who was "captured" by sisko

I always wonder if Iggy Pop asked to be on Star Trek or if someone called in a favor.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

At first I thought you were making a joke, and then I remember that's an actual freaking episode. God I need to rewatch ds9.

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

You forgot Jeffrey Combs

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My favourite out of those nine was always Jeffrey Combs.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Controversial pick!

Jeffrey Combs is the result of those aliens from "the Chase".

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Man's got RANGE!

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can we get a list? I don't recognize them all.

They have a picture of Iggy Pop also for some reason when he played a vorta

[–] visak@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As an aside, Iggy Pop as a Vorta was freaking great. He just looked so done and irritated with everyone the whole time. Great example of having the one straight man in the middle of a comedy.

[–] grue@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I agree with you even though I'm only guessing at the episode you're talking about and I have no idea which of the two Vortas he was.

(It's the Ferengi hostage exchange episode, right?)

[–] Kerred@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If you look at the highest rated Justice League episodes, one of them is where Jeffrey Combs steals the show from all the main superhero cast (The Question)

[–] stephfinitely@artemis.camp 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You forgot he's Agimus in lower decks

[–] RavenFellBlade@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

Came here to say this! We love a Jeffrey Combs episode.

[–] Trabic@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago

I don't care if it gets me banned, give me Harriman Gray or give me death of personality.

[–] antisuck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Doctor Herbert West is peak Jeffrey Combs and I will die on this hill (having seen none of his work in proper theater).

[–] Scrof@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago
[–] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He was also the annoying mean principal on Buffy The Vampire Slayer

[–] BROMETHIUS@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe that was Quarkman Shimerman

[–] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago

Oh crud you're right, good catch
