American actor and Tony-winning Broadway singer who played Berel, the Malcorian hospital administrator who shields the injured Riker, in the Next Generation episode First Contact.
George Hearn is an American actor and baritone best known for musical theatre. He won Tony Awards for La Cage aux Folles and Sunset Boulevard and was closely associated with the title role of Sweeney Todd, which he also recorded for television.
His Star Trek appearance is in First Contact as Berel, who runs the Sikla Medical Facility on Malcor III. When the disguised Riker is brought in after an accident and his alien anatomy becomes obvious, Berel insists on treating him as a patient and not as a specimen.
He refuses the security minister Krola's demand to use drugs that might kill Riker, and is removed from his post for it.
