Robert Foxworth (born 1 November 1941; age 82) is an actor from Houston, Texas who has performed on two of the Star Trek spin-offs, each time as part of a multi-episode arc. He first played Admiral Leyton in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season four episodes "Homefront" and [{e|Paradise Lost}}. Several years later, he played Vulcan administrator V'Las in the Star Trek: Enterprise season four episodes "The Forge", "Awakening" and "Kir'Shara".

Foxworth's son's godfather is his DS9 co-star Rene Auberjonois. Foxworth had initially auditioned for a role in "Hippocratic Oath". Foxworth married Bewitched actress Elizabeth Montgomery just two years before she died of colorectal cancer in 1995.

Foxworth is probably best known for his role as Chase Gioberti on the television soap opera Falcon Crest from 1981 through 1987. In 1982, his future "Awakening" co-star Joanna Cassidy made guest appearances in four episodes of Falcon Crest. Years later, he and Cassidy would play husband and wife in recurring roles on the HBO series Six Feet Under.

In 1974, he starred in the title role of the android Questor in Gene Roddenberry and Gene L. Coon's unsold pilot for The Questor Tapes. Other science fiction programs on which he has appeared since then include seaQuest DSV (alongside Rosalind Ingledew and Marco Sanchez), Babylon 5 (co-starring Andreas Katsulas, Bill Mumy, Mary Kay Adams, and Robin Sachs) and Stargate SG-1. In the former, he played a character very similar to his role of Admiral Leyton called General William Hague who, like Leyton, is also involved in an attempted coup (although this coup against Earth is justified, and still fails). Foxworth's Babylon 5 character was killed off-screen in response to Foxworth assuming the role of Admiral Leyton.

Foxworth also appeared in a two-part episode of Strong Medicine along with Whoopi Goldberg. He has also voiced the character of Professor Emil Hamilton on several episodes of Justice League, including two with Jeffrey Combs voicing "The Question", two with Clancy Brown voicing Lex Luthor, and one featuring the voice of Armin Shimerman.

Although the majority of his resume is made up of made-for-TV movies (including 1993's For Love and Glory, co-starring Olivia d'Abo, Zach Galligan, and Star Trek: Voyager's Kate Mulgrew), Foxworth also has a number of feature film to his credit. His first was the 1976 sci-fi thriller Invisible Strangler, in which he had the starring role and co-starred with TOS alumni Leslie Parrish, Marianna Hill, and Percy Rodriguez. He followed this with Treasure of Matecumbe that same year, acting alongside fellow Trek alumni Jane Wyatt, Robert Doqui, Logan Ramsey, Rex Holman, and Louie Elias. The only two films he made during the 1980s came before and after his time on Falcon Crest: 1980's The Black Marble, with Barbara Babcock, Herta Ware, and Christopher Lloyd; and 1989's Beyond the Stars, a sci-fi drama co-starring Christian Slater, Olivia d'Abo, and F. Murray Abraham.

In 2005, Foxworth made his first major feature film appearance in over 15 years when he co-starred with DS9 actor Alexander Siddig, Star Trek: Voyager guest actor David Clennon, and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country actor Christopher Plummer in the acclaimed drama Syriana. The following year, he guest-starred in the two-hour second season finale of Boston Legal, starring William Shatner and Rene Auberjonois and also guest-starring Jeri Ryan.
