Yes, another user project. I thought I'll collect images of the stunt performers who worked on Star Trek. It can help identify the ones we don't know yet. So if you have information you cannot find on this site, let me know.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek: The Next Generation was the third Star Trek television series following Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Animated Series. It was filmed between June 1987 and April 1994 and consists of 178 single hour episodes. Beginning with TNG Season 3, Dennis Madalone officially became the Stunt Coordinator.
