American actor, born in 1947, who played Commander Suran, the senior Romulan fleet officer who supports and then abandons Shinzon, in Star Trek Nemesis.
Jude Ciccolella is an American character actor familiar as Mike Novick in the television series 24 and from films such as Glengarry Glen Ross and Sin City.
In Star Trek Nemesis (2002) he played Suran, a Romulan commander who, with Donatra, urges the Senate to ally with Shinzon and then helps bring the Reman-raised human to power after the senators are killed.
Suran grows impatient as Shinzon delays the promised strike against the Federation, and uneasy once the scale of the thalaron weapon is understood. He and Donatra withdraw their support, and Romulan warbirds join the Enterprise-E against the Scimitar in the Bassen Rift.
