Peter Mark Richman, who among over 500 roles appeared as Human Popsicle Ralph Offenhouse on ST:TNG episode "The Neutral Zone." Offenhouse is noteworthy for giving an unsolicited assessment about a species (Romulans) he'd never encountered before: "They haven't got a clue! They're hoping you know, but they're too arrogant to ask!" Riker snapped that the man was out of line. Picard, though, agreed that Offenhouse had correctly judged the Romulans' motives.

“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
