Ethan Phillips – Neelix

Neelix was another loveable character who brought some much-needed color and sunshine to a rather serious show. The character was the cook on the USS Voyager and was played expertly by actor Ethan Phillips for the show’s entire run from 1995 to 2001. He has a spate of other roles under his belt, though.

These include a role in the acclaimed film “Glory” and 2016’s “The Purge: Election Year.” He has also had various episodic roles in shows like “Better Call Saul” and “New Amsterdam.” In 2020 he appeared in a show called “Avenue 5” and also appeared in a film called “1.”
