American actor and former wrestler (1958–2020), often billed as Tiny Lister, who played Klaang, the Klingon courier whose crash in Oklahoma starts the story of Enterprise in Broken Bow.
Tommy Lister Jr., widely known as Tiny Lister, was an American actor and occasional professional wrestler. He played Zeus in No Holds Barred, Deebo in Friday, the President in The Fifth Element and a prisoner in The Dark Knight.
In Star Trek he appears in the Enterprise pilot Broken Bow. Lister plays Klaang, a Klingon courier carrying evidence about Suliban interference in the Empire, whose ship comes down in a cornfield at Broken Bow, Oklahoma, in 2151 and who is shot by a farmer.
Returning the wounded Klaang to Qo'noS becomes the first mission of Archer's Enterprise. He is abducted by the Suliban on the way, recovered from their helix, and finally delivered to the High Council.
