    He’s directed two already, well, two Trek movies. First Contact and Insurrection.

    He’s had episodes as director in every live action Trek property except Enterprise. He even directed two episodes of The Orville.

        He directed The City on the Edge of Forever he just couldn’t take credit to preserve the timeline.

        EDIT: And if you look carefully the Guardian of Forever construct is obviously Jeffrey Combs, though his voice was dubbed over.

          I’m glad I’m here, you learn something new every day! The next thing you’ll be telling me is that he also gave Rodenberry the idea for the series, therefore guaranteeing himself a role for 7 years.

          That’ll be exciting! We’ll all have to put our heads together and give him a list of episodes to adjust a bit, and maybe we’ll have five or six seasons of TOS.
