Anthony Montgomery as Ensign Travis Mayweather
Anthony Montgomery appeared on the decks of the USS Enterprise at the same time and for the same 98-episode run as Dominic Keating. The Indianapolis native had already established a successful acting career, with roles in cinema and television, when he was cast as Ensign Travis Mayweather in “Star Trek: Enterprise.” Montgomery experimented with stand-up comedy after leaving his career. He continued acting while honing his skills as a graphic writer. He currently has a regular starring role on the ABC serial opera “General Hospital,” where he plays Andre Maddox.
Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan
Whoopi Goldberg’s role was interesting. She played Guinan, an El-Aurian who spends his time listening to the universe. Guinan’s home planet was destroyed by the Borg (a cybernetic species that enjoys destroying things), making her a refugee. Goldberg’s career took off after a long life in the Star Trek world, and she is now a household figure as well as the proud owner of Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Awards. Goldberg made history by becoming only the second black woman to win an Oscar. Goldberg has just taken a break from acting and is now content to co-host “The View.”
