Robert O'Reilly plays "Gowron, Chancellor of the Klingon Empire" on both Star Trek, The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. His role as a Klingon has always stood out ever since his first appearance on the Star Trek, TNG episode "Reunion". His ability to give a wild eyed crazed look has stuck in the minds of all most Star Trek Fans. As an individual, he is the Star Trek's Fan's fan because he is approachable, friendly and out going! His stories of his experiences as Gowron on the sets and for the Hallmark
commercial are hilarious! In the opportunity that I had to meet the man, I was totally
captivated by his stories. Also the opportunity to come before him and pass in review, so to speak was great!
The most recent event was the addition from his wife, Judy who provided him with three new warriors for the empire. He is now the proud father of three boys named, Jack, Joseph and Michael. His acting career has included many shows as listed below: (not guaranteed to be complete):
