I'd like to think it's just because he's a working actor who will do pretty much any role for a decent paycheck, but he was also in one of the Atlas Shrugged movies.
That said, he was also great as Satan in Reaper, a show that was canceled way too soon.
Losing Odo to the Great Link really changed Major Colonel Kira and sent her down a dark path. Here she is, later, sadistically overseeing an illegal augment program codenamed Manticore:
I re-watched it not too long ago (prob 4-5 years ago?) and it's hit or miss on how well it holds up. Honestly don't know if I could recommend going out of your way to watch it. (If you can even find it anywhere. I stumbled across the DVD set at a yard sale for like $6 lol)
Plot, character, and cinematography-wise, it's pretty great. What holds it back is all of the very, very dated slang from the late 90s/early 00's and trying way too hard to be "hip". The latter makes it extremely cringe to watch in present day.
This makes me wonder how Richard Dean Anderson has never been in a Trek after so many iterations. If Robert Picardo can jump the Gate/Trek divide, surely RDA can too.
Not entirely false. I stopped rewatching Stargate because I got tired of hearing guns being fired in nearly every episode.
In Star Trek they usually have phasers unless they are time travelling. Pretty much the same for other sci-fi shows; they are usually energy based weapons.
But in Stargate, they convince Teal'c to use P90s and a good chunk of some episodes is just Tau'ri/humans firing guns at aliens.

According to the IMDB, Bruce Gray was Surak on Enterprise and was also in an episode of Airwolf.
Ray Wise also played a couple of roles on TNG and Voyager along with Airwolf.

The show with the best hero name ever: Stringfellow Hawke. Player by a guy with a name just as cool: Jan-Michael Vincent.
I was a kid, so I didn't remember much about the show other than me thinking Airwolf would beat the crap out of Blue Thunder.

Then there was also this Hawk. But he only had one name and it was Hawk.
I hear he eventually became a god.

Visitor played Dr. Elizabeth Renfro, the director of the evil corp. Was just a recurring character.

RDA hated Sci Fi before Stargate. They tricked him by telling him it was a mostly Military-themed movie and show

So many guest stars on MacGyver also appeared on Star Trek... It helps that MacGyver was also a Paramount show.
Also, watch the MacGyver pilot for a surprise appearance by the torpedo tube hatch through which Spock was shot out of.
