American actor who played Toral, the illegitimate son of Duras put forward by Lursa and B'Etor as claimant to the Klingon chancellorship, in the two-part Next Generation story Redemption.
J.D. Cullum is an American stage and screen actor, the son of the Broadway performer John Cullum, with many theatre credits in Los Angeles.
In Redemption and Redemption II he plays Toral, a youth produced by the Duras sisters as their dead brother's heir. Picard, as Arbiter of Succession, rejects his claim, and the House of Duras then starts the Klingon Civil War with covert Romulan backing.
When the Romulan supply line is exposed Toral is captured, and Gowron offers his life to Worf, who declines to kill him. The character reappears in Deep Space Nine's The Sword of Kahless, where he is played by a different actor.
