Robert DoQui (20 April 19349 February 2008; age 73) was the Oklahoma-born actor who played Noggra in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fourth season episode "Sons of Mogh". DoQui's life partner was Mittie Lawrence.

DoQui and fellow Star Trek guest actors Bruce Davison, Zane Cassidy, and Charles Rocket won a Golden Globe award as part of the cast of Short Cuts (1993). However, he is probably best known for playing Police Sgt. Warren Reed in RoboCop (1987, co-starring fellow Star Trek alumni Peter Weller, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, Miguel Ferrer, Ray Wise, and Gene Wolande). DoQui went on to play Warren again in RoboCop 2 (1990, with Peter Weller, John Glover, Gabriel Damon, and Bill Bolender) and RoboCop 3 (1993, with Stephen Root and Lee Arenberg).

One of his earliest film roles was an uncredited appearance in The Cincinnati Kid {1965, starring Star Trek: The Original Series guest actors Jeff Corey and Ron Soble). In 1969, he appeared in The Devil's 8, co-starring Leslie Parrish, and the same year co-starred with Barbara Anderson, Vic Toyota, and stuntman Bob Herron in Ironside (teleplay by Paul Schneider). In 1970, he appeared in Tarzan's Deadly Silence, co-starring Original Series actress Nichelle Nichols.

Before Short Cuts, DoQui worked with Robert Altman on Nashville in (1975, with Keith Carradine, Henry Gibson, and Bert Remsen) and Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson (1979, with Bert Remsen and Joel Grey). DoQui's other films include The Man (1972, with William Windom and Janet MacLachlan), Coffy (1973, co-starring Booker Bradshaw and Sid Haig), My Science Project (1985, with Raphael Sbarge and Michael Berryman), Miracle Mile (1988, with Denise Crosby and Brian Thompson), and Diplomatic Immunity (1991, with Meg Foster).

DoQui was also part of the cast of two epic 1978 television mini-series featuring other Star Trek actors: How the West Was Won, with William Shatner, William Boyett, Fionnula Flanagan, Brian Keith, Ed Lauter, Ricardo Montalban, George D. Wallace, Morgan Woodward, and Harris Yulin, and Centennial, featuring Michael Ansara, Henry Darrow, Cliff DeYoung, Robert Easton, Brian Keith, Sally Kellerman, Nick Ramus, Morgan Woodward, and Anthony Zerbe. The former also featured direction by Joseph Pevney, Ralph Senensky, and Vincent McEveety. Senensky also directed him in the 1973 TV movie A Dream for Christmas. He also co-starred with LeVar Burton, Madge Sinclair, and Robert Easton in the short 1976 made-for-television drama Almos' a Man.

DoQui was also one of several Star Trek guest stars to appear on The Facts of Life, along with William Windom, Kenneth Tigar, Roger Perry, Paul Comi, Clyde Kusatsu, Nehemiah Persoff, Clive Revill, Eve Smith, Nicholas Coster, Robert Hooks, and Ian Wolfe. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actor Armin Shimerman also made a brief appearance in the show's seventh season premiere episode.

DoQui was among the industry talents who were honored at the "In Memoriam" film at the 81st Annual Academy Awards on 22 February 2009, which was accompanied by Queen Latifah's performance of "I'll Be Seeing You".
