John Rhys-Davies is a Welsh actor, born in 1944, known as Sallah in Raiders of the Lost Ark, as the dwarf Gimli in The Lord of the Rings trilogy and as Professor Arturo in Sliders.
In Star Trek: Voyager he plays a holographic recreation of Leonardo da Vinci, whose Florentine workshop is Captain Janeway's favourite holodeck retreat. He first appears in Scorpion, the third-season finale, where a remark of his helps Janeway decide to bargain with the Borg.
He returns in the fourth-season episode Concerning Flight, in which the character, running on the Doctor's stolen mobile emitter, roams an alien trading world believing he is in the New World and at last flies one of his own machines.
