Robert Duncan McNeill

The American actor Robert Duncan McNeill crossed the Delta Quadrant as a Starfleet officer Lieutenant Tom Paris on the USS Voyager for seven years.

Robert grew up in Atlanta (the capital of Georgia) and began his acting career in local and regional productions before he moved to New York City after high school to become a professional actor. He quickly got hold of roles in various series and in 1987 also appeared in the feature film Masters of the Universe.

McNeill had his first Star Trek contact in 1992 with his role as Nicholas “Nick” Locarno in Star Trek: The Next Generation. By the way, this character has many parallels to his later role as Tom Paris. This was followed by various appearances in well-known series such as Quantum Leep, Murder, She Wrote or The Outer Limits. In the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks, he lent his voice to Tom Paris, too.

More and more Robert concentrated on his engagement as a director and producer. He directed several episodes of Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, V, Warehouse 13, The Orville and most recently Resident Alien.
