    He was also a random guest star bad guy of the week on The Next Generation, in the episode “Starship Mine.” I had forgotten this, and it is especially jarring when you stumble across that episode after you’re used to him being Tuvok.

      Tim Russ guest starred a bunch of times in Trek. He was in Generations, he was a klingon on DS9, he even got to play his mirror self on DS9.

        Wasn’t he also in one of the movies?

            When Sulu was captain of Excelsior, that’s right. I feel like they alluded to this in a Voyager episode, like this was his real first assignment, and then he spent time making a family. So rather than him being a random character in the movie, he was now canonically Tuvok on his first stint with the Federation.

              He played a bridge officer on the Enterprise B in Generations. Human by the look of him. So probably not Tuvok.

                this would be what we call a retcon.

                  No, in the Voyager episode he is on the Excelsior with Sulu as captain. In Generations he is a bridge officer on the Enterprise B and Captain Harriman was in charge (nominally since his bridge was full of flag officers).
