English-Canadian actor who has a recurring role as Kelrec, chancellor of Starfleet's War College and rival to Nahla Ake, in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
Raoul Bhaneja is an English-born Canadian actor and musician. His screen credits include the films Ararat, Miss Sloane and Possessor and a recurring part in Blindspot, and on stage he is noted for a one-man version of Hamlet.
In Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which premiered in January 2026, he plays Chancellor Kelrec, the head of the War College. The War College is a separate Starfleet institution whose cadets, among them the Vulcan B'Avi, study alongside the reopened academy.
Kelrec is a recurring presence through the first season as the counterpart of Chancellor Nahla Ake, and the rivalry between his War College cadets and Ake's students drives stories such as Vitus Reflux.
