Summary Several members of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine cast stepped behind the camera to direct some of the show's best episodes. In the 1990s, every Star Trek show had what was referred to as "Director's School", which would give actors the relevant knowledge and experience to direct their own episodes. Stewarded by Rick Berman, the "Director's School" originated from a request by Star Trek: The Next Generation star Jonathan Frakes to direct an episode.
5 Avery Brooks Directed Nine Episodes of DS9 Close Avery Brooks made his debut as a Star Trek director with DS9 season 2, episode 25, "Tribunal", in which Chief O'Brien was put on trial by the Cardassians. Many of Brooks' best episodes of Deep Space Nine were darker in tone, like the noiresque "Improbable Cause" in which Elim Garak becomes embroiled in a Cardassian and Romulan plot to destroy the Dominion.
4 Michael Dorn Directed Three Episodes Of DS9 & One Episode Of Enterprise Close Michael Dorn went through the Star Trek "Director's School" when Worf transferred to Deep Space Nine in season 4. Dorn made his directorial debut with DS9 season 5, episode 25, "In the Cards", which was a sweet little comedy episode about Jake Sisko and Nog trying to raise Captain Sisko's spirits.
3 René Auberjonois Directed 9 Episodes Of DS9 Close Rene Auberjonois proved himself to be a highly skilled and multi-faceted director across nine episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. While nobody, even Rene Auberjonois, sees "Let He Who Is Without Sin..." as a classic episode of DS9, the director has deftly handled the tonal shift between Ferengi comedy episodes and dark character studies.
2 Siddig El Fadil/Alexander Siddig Directed 2 Episodes Of DS9 Close Alexander Siddig directed Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 5, episode 18, "Business as Usual" as Siddig El Fadil. This was a shortened version of Alexander Siddig's birth name, which he adopted in the early years of his career before taking the name Alexander Siddig from DS9 season 4.
