    That’s not actually true, I don’t think; it’s just a coincidence.

    How odd. I saw it on a Carry on documentary, I think? might have been a pub quiz question. Nonetheless, can’t find any mention of it online so maybe wrong, after all everyone knows if it’s true it’s on the t’interweb

    Kkkit, can’rt phrase the questions, byut here’s the answers
    Majel Barrett was Mrs Gene Rodenberry (creator of Star Trek). As well as Nurse Somethingorother in the original series, she played the voice of the computer in the original series, Next Generation, Deep Space 9 and Voyager, as well as all the movies and had a part tin an animated series. She’s done more Star Trek than anyone else.

    I’m not sure about this but I remember reading somewhere that Jurgen Prochnow who played the captain in the German submarine thing Das Boot dubbed himself for the English language release. Given he became big’ish in Hollywood that cuold be right
