American actor, later the star of Black Lightning, who played Talak'talan, the first Jem'Hadar soldier seen on screen, in the Deep Space Nine episode The Jem'Hadar.
Cress Williams is an American actor known for the title role in the series Black Lightning and for parts in Living Single, Prison Break and Hart of Dixie.
Early in his career he appeared in the Deep Space Nine second-season finale The Jem'Hadar as Third Talak'talan, the soldier who captures Sisko, Quark, Jake and Nog on a Gamma Quadrant planet.
Talak'talan later beams onto Deep Space Nine itself, walks through a containment field and announces to Kira that the colony of New Bajor has been destroyed and that the Dominion will tolerate no more ships coming through the wormhole. The scene established the Jem'Hadar as a new kind of threat.
