Tang Nguyen is an actor and stuntman who played a Starfleet cadet in the Star Trek: Voyager seventh season episode "Endgame". As a background actor, he received no credit for this appearance and is unfortunately the only cadet whose face is not shown in the final aired episode. His costume was sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [1](X)
