American television editor who cut episodes of The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise over more than fifteen years and directed the Next Generation episode Force of Nature.
Robert Lederman joined Star Trek: The Next Generation as one of its rotating team of editors and stayed with the franchise through Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise.
Like several long-serving members of the post-production staff he was given the chance to direct, taking charge of the seventh-season Next Generation episode Force of Nature, in which warp drive is found to be damaging the fabric of space.
He returned to the cutting room afterwards and was still editing for the franchise when Enterprise ended in 2005.
