Winger Bingston Jr. is a human lieutenant junior grade in the sciences division of the USS Cerritos, best known to his shipmates for his earnest one-man stage shows.
Bingston describes himself as a triple threat: singer, actor and dancer. In Moist Vessel, set in 2380, he performs his one-man show The United Federation of Characters for the senior staff, an evening Mariner is made to sit through.
A holographic copy of him turns up in Mariner's holodeck film in Crisis Point. In I, Excretus he takes part in the training drills run by Shari yn Yem, and in The Spy Humongous Castro invites Boimler to one of his shows, in which he plays every one of Jupiter's moons.
In Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus he is found teaching an acting class aboard the Cerritos. Bingston is voiced by Eugene Cordero, who also plays Sam Rutherford.
