In the world of Star Trek, it seems that the names of the actors are as difficult to spell - and in many cases, more so – than the names of the space-age characters they portray. It’s tough to mess up “Odo,” for instance, but correctly spelling the name of the man who portrayed him – Rene Auberjonois – is a different story. We limit this quiz to regulars in the two key series (The Original Series and The Next Generation), but it still may prove a challenge. Capital letters don’t matter, but spelling does – so be careful. Good luck!

88% – although I knew all the actor’s names, just one misspelled one brought my score down!

Uh, Deanna Troi’s name is spelled wrong in the quiz.
