American actor who played the burly Starfleet security officer nicknamed Cupcake, later named Hendorff, in all three Kelvin timeline Star Trek films.
Jason Matthew Smith is an American actor whose best-known role is the hulking security man of the Kelvin timeline Enterprise.
In Star Trek (2009) his character is a cadet who brawls with James T. Kirk in an Iowa bar after Kirk calls him Cupcake, and who later, as a security officer, takes some pleasure in escorting Kirk around the Enterprise. Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) gives him the name Hendorff and sends him with Kirk on the mission to the Klingon homeworld, for which the landing party swaps its uniforms for civilian clothes. He appears again among the crew in Star Trek Beyond (2016).
The role became a small running joke of the trilogy, and the character has been picked up in tie-in comics.
