Gerrit Graham is an American actor known for cult films including Phantom of the Paradise, in which he played the glam rocker Beef, Used Cars and Child's Play 2. He has also written for film and television.
His first Star Trek part was the leader of the Hunters, the aliens who pursue Tosk through the wormhole, in the first-season Deep Space Nine episode Captive Pursuit.
In Voyager he played the dissident Q who is freed from confinement inside a comet in Death Wish.
