American actor (1937–2025) who gave one of Deep Space Nine's most praised guest performances as Aamin Marritza, the Cardassian filing clerk posing as a war criminal in Duet.
Harris Yulin was an American stage and screen actor often cast as judges, officials and villains. His films include Scarface, Ghostbusters II, Clear and Present Danger and Training Day, and he earned an Emmy nomination for a guest role in Frasier.
In Star Trek he appears in the first-season Deep Space Nine episode Duet. A Cardassian arrives at the station suffering from Kalla-Nohra syndrome, which marks him as someone who was at the Gallitep labour camp, and Kira becomes convinced he is its commandant, Gul Darhe'el.
Yulin's character boasts of atrocities until Kira discovers he is really Aamin Marritza, a clerk who altered his face so that Cardassia would be forced to admit its guilt. The episode is regularly named among the best of the series.
