Who did John Aniston play in Star Trek: Voyager?

The soap veteran had a brief feature in the Star Trek franchise as he starred as the Quarren Ambassador in the Voyager series.

Aniston’s character was a representative of the heavily industrialized planet of Quarra, which was suffering a shortage of workers.

Aniston was not the only Days Of Our Lives star to appear on the series during his cameo, as he starred alongside fellow soap alum James Read who played Norvalean engineer Jaffen.
