Page "Jonathan Frakes" Paragraph 8

Frakes is one of only two Star Trek regulars to appear on four different Star Trek series ( Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise ).

( The only other regular to match or exceed that number is Majel Barrett-Roddenberry who appeared in all five television series.

) He has also directed episodes in three of them ( TNG, DS9 and VOY ) and was a popular and innovative director on the Star Trek set, often finding completely new ways to shoot the show's familiar sets.

His directing career has included the films Star Trek: First Contact and Star Trek: Insurrection.

Additionally, Frakes was an executive producer for the WB series Roswell, directed several episodes and guest-starred in three episodes.

His relationship with Star Trek is made light of in the episode " Secrets and Lies ", in which the alien character Max auditions for a guest role as an alien for Star Trek: Enterprise.
