Ron Perlman’s Viceroy: Star Trek: Nemesis’ Controversial Villain Explained

Cult hero Ron Perlman played the controversial Reman Viceroy in Star Trek: Nemesis, the final movie for the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast. Perlman has an extensive list of credits in genre movies, many of which have performed better commercially than Nemesis. The final TNG movie was such a box office failure that it torpedoed any hopes of a fifth and final movie for Patrick Stewart’s Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-E. Perlman was physically unrecognizable under the heavy prosthetics that transformed him into a Reman, but his familiar gravely tones were instantly recognizable.
