Guinan – Whoopi Goldberg
So not a typo, the great Whoopi Goldberg did in fact star on the show! Her character of Guinan was an El-Aurian – a race of “listeners” – who were brutally scattered by the Borg (a powerful, cyborg race). Since then, as you probably know, she has earned an Emmy Award, a Grammy Award, an Oscar, and a Tony Award. Moreover, she is the second black woman in the history of the Academy Awards to have won an acting Oscar. Currently, she stars on the talk show, The View.

As a result, Hoshi Sato was the ship’s communications officer with a natural gift for alien language translation. Afterwards, she worked in television and was a series regular on Crash in 2008. Currently she is the co-founder of the theater company, Underground Asylum.
