Stephen Colbert is an American comedian, writer and broadcaster born in 1964. He presented The Colbert Report and then The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and is a well-known enthusiast for science fiction and fantasy.
In Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which began in January 2026, he provides the voice of the Digital Dean of Students. The character is an artificial voice that delivers the academy's daily announcements to the cadets.
The role is a voice part only, and Colbert does not appear on screen. He is one of several well-known performers heard rather than seen in the series, alongside Brit Marling as the computer of the USS Athena.
