Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Given that its creator, Ronald D. Moore was a key creative force behind the Star Trek franchise in the 1990s, it's hardly surprising that multiple Trek actors have appeared in Battlestar Galactica. However, even before its 2004 reboot, Battlestar Galactica crossed over with Star Trek multiple times.
Given Callum Keith Rennie's extensive list of roles in popular cult shows like 24, and The Umbrella Academy, it's surprising that it took so long for him to appear in Star Trek. Rennie made his Star Trek debut as Commander Rayner in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 1, "Red Directive", and has been bumped up from Cylon Number Two to Number One.
7 Dean Stockwell in Star Trek: Enterprise Grat in Season 1, Episode 21, "Detained" Close Despite an incredible career working with auteur directors like David Lynch and Wim Wenders, Dean Stockwell is best known as Al from Quantum Leap. When his co-star Scott Bakula was cast as Captain Jonathan Archer in Star Trek: Enterprise, a Dean Stockwell guest appearance became a forgone conclusion.
As a member of Battlestar Galactica's Final Five Cylons, Kate Vernon played a similar role as Ellen Tigh. As one of the earlier humanoid Cylons, Ellen played a key role in creating a new breed of Cylon that was organically indistinguishable from humans. These humanoid Cylons then infiltrated all levels of life in the Twelve Colonies ahead of the devastating attack in Battlestar Galactica's 2003 pilot miniseries.
Emily Kowalski and President Roslin bonded while they were undergoing treatment for cancer, and discussed matters of faith and mortality. Those were both key themes of Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, so Nana Visitor's casting was a perfect way to maintain continuity. While Nana Visitor only appeared in one episode of BSG, she had a pivotal role in Roslin's story, as she helped the President to confront her own mortality.

Close Rekha Sharma played Tory Foster in Battlestar Galactica, advisor to President Laura Roslin, and a member of the Final Five. Tory was responsible for one of Battlestar Galactica's most devastating deaths, when she ejected Cally Tyrol from an airlock. Tory was one of the least apologetic of humanoid Cylons, and never felt guilt over the murder of Cally.
