Jeffrey Combs (born September 9, 1954) is an American actor highly regarded for his numerous roles in the Star Trek franchise, especially in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9). He played multiple characters in DS9, including the Vorta clone Weyoun, which was his most significant and favorite role, and the Ferengi character Brunt.

Beyond DS9, he also appeared in Star Trek: Enterprise as the Andorian commander Shran, in Star Trek: Voyager, and in Star Trek: Lower Decks with voice roles. He also made television appearances in series like The 4400 and Babylon 5. He gained cult status for his role as Herbert West in the horror film Re-Animator (1985) and its two sequels. He has appeared in numerous adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft’s works, including From Beyond (1986) and Necronomicon: Book of the Dead (1993). His other film credits include House on Haunted Hill (1999), The Frighteners (1996), I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998), and FeardotCom (2002). In addition to on-screen roles, Combs has lent his voice to characters in animated series such as Justice League Unlimited and Transformers: Prime.
