Stephen McHattie

Stephen McHattie is the Canadian actor who played Vreenak in the sixth season episode and the alien foreman in the third season episode . His memorable delivery of Vreenak's line, "It's a faaaake!", has become a popular Star Trek quotation.
McHattie was born in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. Outside of Star Trek, he is perhaps best known for playing the title role in the 1976 made-for-television movie James Dean. Co-starring with him in this movie was fellow Deep Space Nine guest star Meg Foster, whom he ultimately married. However, they have since divorced.

No stranger to films, McHattie made his motion picture debut in 1970's The People Next Door, a drama co-starring Nehemiah Persoff. This was followed by supporting roles in a wide variety of films, including Gray Lady Down (1978, with David Clennon, Ronny Cox, Rosemary Forsyth, and Robert Ito), Death Valley (1982, with Catherine Hicks), Bloodhounds of Broadway (1989, with Ethan Phillips, Googy Gress, and Alan Ruck), (1994, with Aron Eisenberg and Ron Soble), and (1994, with Timothy Carhart and Jimmy Ortega), and (1996, starring Whoopi Goldberg and Carol Kane.) 
McHattie's other films include (2002), David Cronenberg's (2005), and (2007). In the latter, based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Frank Miller, McHattie played a loyal Spartan politician. His co-stars on this film included fellow Enterprise guest actor Peter Mensah.
McHattie reunited with 300 director Zach Snyder for the 2009 film Watchmen, based on the acclaimed comic book (and later graphic novel) from DC Comics. In this film, McHattie played Hollis Mason, the original Nite Owl, while Matt Frewer and Jeffrey Dean Morgan played Moloch the Mystic and The Comedian, respectively. William Hoy was the film's editor, Ron Fassler played Ted Koppel.
