* [[Gene Roddenberry]]'s second wife, Majel Barrett, played several roles in the various ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' series, most notably Nurse Christine Chapel in ''[[Star Trek the Original Series (TV)|The Original Series]]'' and Lwaxana Troi in ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|The Next Generation]]'', and provided the voice of the onboard computers in all series and movies until her death in 2008 - she also provided the computer's voice in [[Star Trek (Film)|the 2009 movie]], having recorded her lines before dying. Notably, she was cast as first officer Number One in the original pilot, but NBC torpedoed the entire idea - they weren't really enthusiastic about the idea of having a woman in an important role, but were mostly pissed at Roddenberry for casting his girlfriend in the role.

* Francesca Buller, Ben Browder's wife, played four different characters on ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]''.
