"Now say nuclear wessels." |
American actor (though his parents were Russian immigrants) who originated the role of Pavel Chekov on Star Trek, and Bester on Babylon 5.
Tropes used in Walter Koenig include:
- Deadpan Snarker: His real-life tendency to be this was put to maximum effect on Futurama, where pretty much everything out of Koenig's mouth was a Crowning Moment of Funny.
- He Really Can Act: After decades playing Chekov, many viewers were pleasantly surprised at what an effective bastard he played on Babylon 5.
- Self-Deprecation
