And I think my favorite role of his is in Galaxy Quest: classical Shakespearean actor playing an alien in a sci-fi show as a second to an egomaniac in a role that should've been his.
Brilliant! Hilarious!
I panned that movie when it came out, I've since come to appreciate how much it has to offer.
it's kinda strange Star Trek never really leaned fully into classical Shakespearean actor without getting too tongue in cheek about... and i find lack of Romulan Rickman disturbing.
My first thought was Cardassian Rickman but we already have a lot of great Cardassians and there are way less Romulan bastards. The other option would've been to make Rickman Q and let him and DeLancie chew the fuck out of the script. But alas - never going to happen. But we have Galaxy Quest.

Romulan Rickman, Hahahahaha, that would've been brilliant!
I do think ToS was dead serious about it's Greek Morality Play presentation, which is why I can appreciate it.
It was a bit blunt and obvious, even for kid me.
