- Tim Russ, Star Trek: Voyager, TV, 1995-2001. The suits’ first idea for Tuvok, Vulcan Starfleet officer, was the US TV’s best loved butler – which made him become the first (the only) black actor to win Emmy awards for best actor (and support actor) in a comedy series. His Benson co-star, Ethan Phillips, had already signed on as Neelix, the Talaxian jack of all trades,… cook, morale officer, etc.
