Not to take anything away from a brilliant actor, but ENT was the least popular and arguably least successful of all shows.

Bottom line: If you like ENT, you like ENT and I'm happy for you, but there will be plenty of Star Trek fans out there who don't care at all for that race.

Weyoun is exceptional in many ways, but still Shran is my favourite. A so clean cut character, direct, driven, full of an inner world that was unknown to us and played so well. You had not expect this letting himself go from him after all those past characters, but with Shran, J. Combs unleashed himself fully.

Weyoun is number 1. Bad eyes good ears. He was also very good in the TV series the 4400, yet another brilliant scifi show that ended too soon.

I met Jeffrey Combs at a Sci-Fi convention a few years ago at a Boston area convention, called Slanted Fedora. The Saturday evening dinner was cancelled by the hotel, so those with dinner tickets got to spend time with the guest stars. Jeffrey was very out going and personable very easy to talk with and joke around with. I wish him all the best.

Shran is my Fave, I love the way he called Archer, and the others "PinkSkins".. but this might because Im watching them again on Netflix with my kids while in LockDown

He's amazing -- I was lucky enough to see him live performing "An Evening with Edgar Allen Poe" -- legendary -- even got to chat with him for a few moments after, he was kind and friendly

I love Shran. He permanently won my heart when he and his crew risked their lives to destroy the Xindi weapon's escort vessel, clearing the way for Archer's boarding party to destroy the weapon from within at the last moment. We got more help from the Andorians than we _ever_ got from the High Command. If we'd listened to _Soval,_ this planet would be a cloud of dust _right now!_ As for Brunt, while I'm not suggesting he was a changeling or something even more ridiculous like Weyoun in disguise, I very much believe he may have been a Dominion stooge. In "The Magnificent Ferengi," Zek's beloved Moogie is saved from Dominion kidnappers with significant help from Starfleet. The contrast between a government that kidnaps his main squeeze and close adviser and a government that provided invaluable assistance in getting her back would certainly push the Nagus to a more pro-Federation foreign policy. Now Ferengi soft power makes them a more important ally than you might think. They're in a position to serve as economic go-betweens in ways that no other Alpha Quadrant civilization can really hope to match. The Orion Syndicate might be able to serve some of the same functions, but this would be much more dangerous and less respectable, possibly harming the legitimacy of a Dominion that is still trying to convince other neutral Alpha Quadrant powers that it will be a good neighbor after victory ("In the Pale Moonlight" has not yet happened). Nevertheless, just a few weeks after "The Magnificent Ferengi," the Dominion is engaged in all sorts of shady dealings with the Orions, as seen in "Honor Among Thieves." And just a few weeks after _that,_ Zek turns up on DS9 announcing hat he's been deposed and Brunt is now Acting Nagus. TheFederation gives him safe harbor in his hour of need and lends a hand in the campaign to keep Zek in power and prevent Brunt from dropping the first word from his title. A Federation starbase is the first place Zek turns at the outset of his exile, and if that's because he thought he knew who his friends were, he turned out to be dead right. The Prime Directive would forbid Starfleet from backing Zek unless Brunt had a foreign backer of his own, as the Duras Sisters did when they challenged Gowron in "Redemption." Can there be any doubt who would be backing Brunt under these circumstances?

Love him as Shran. Just like the flavor he gave Andorians.

He's like a voice actor in a live action production. Play as many characters you can get away with.

What always strikes me about the Star Trek's since TOS (which acting was a lot different then, so I'm sure it was good for it's original time) is that every single actor and actress brought their A-game to the roles they were playing... nobody gave less than their best performance from what I've seen! Even a simple walk-on role for a few seconds by the now King of Jordan on a Voyager Episode was extremely well done... yeah the then Prince of Jordan was on a Star Trek Voyager Episode giving a pad to Captain Janeway!

I don't differentiate between the 2 characters, as far as favourites go. Both characters were equally well portrayed and developed, and I find it impossible to decide which is objectively better. Because both were given incredible life by Mr. Combs. I will say this though: by far one of the most engaging character actors in Trek; even beating out many of the main cast for holding my attention.

Weyoun is my favourite. And Jeffrey is one of my all time favourite actors. He gives all he's got no what what role you put him in. Be it Star Trek or any other movie or series. He is just great.

I never knew Combs portrayed so many different characters. This must be a record for a Star Trek actor?

Wow he's played so many characters :O Much respect!

Love all his characters their all a treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's something hypnotic about his voice.

Weyoun made me laugh the most of all those characters, next to Shran then Brunt. Weyoun was just so sleazy that I loved it! Jeffrey Combs is a Trek legend!

Jeffrey Combs is one of my all time favorite scifi actors. I personally would have swapped Brunt and Shran's 1st and 3rd spots, but I really can't complain about this list.

When i was still a lot youngerr i only remeber him as Weyoun. But after rewatching the series i started noticing his voice and his special way of acting. He is a great actor!

I did not know three of the characters But your choice of ranking is agreeable Thanks for the in lighting

I bet that was a lot of fun playing that many roles! Cool Make up and some good scripts along with the right Actor can do amazing things!

From Re-Animator to Star Trek Enterprise, one of the most underrated actors of our time.

Just saw him again in the Netflix thriller Would You Rather. That voice is unmistakable and his characters are all brilliant.

I love Jeffrey combs acting and am so glad to see this video. I am currently in a ST RPG playing Shran's great-great grand niece. My fav non ST he did was voice The Question on Justice League animated series.

Wow! I had no idea this guy played so many amazing characters. What a legend!

Excellent video! Enjoyed!

Jeffrey Combs is incredibly talented. I didn't even know half of the characters he played were him. Makeup helps, of course. But much of the time I can see through that when the actor talks.

What a talent. Never knew about the lil roles. Thanks.

This guy is great! Every time I spot one of him I'm all "ooo! Its that guy!".

He is a very exceptional actor has a lot of depth, it took me a long time to realize that he was playing so many characters. The way he was able to change the voices of some and mannerisms. The only way I was able to figure that out was cuz he has a very distinctive voice

It's a very close battle between Weyoun and Shran

Wow, I picked up that he was Wayun in DS9 and the Andorian from Enterprise. It is a true credit to his acting skills that I had no idea he was playing so many different characters!

Wow, I had no idea he had so many roles on the star trek series. I recognize him in many when I starting watching the old series again, but a few I still missed.

GREAT list! I've always really liked Combs's characters. I didn't even know he played Brunt. That speaks to what a great actor he is, that the can play so many different kinds of characters and do them do them so well that even a fan doesn't recognize him in some roles. And your choices for 1 and 2 are perfect. Wayoun was great, but Shran was one of the best characters in the entire Star Trek universes. In fact, the ONLY thing that kept me watching that dog of a series was some really great characters played by some great actors. The writing was abysmal, but Anthony Montgomery as Maywether, Combs as Shran and especially Connor Trenneer as Tripp were magnificent. The others were very good, too, Archer, Reed, T'pol Hoshi and Phlox, but those first three really stood out for me.

Now you have to make another version of the video including Agimus in Lower Decks :) The man is a legend!
