Born in Philadelphia, James Darren created magic on the silver screen with his acting skills and acclaimed projects. But the most famous would be his portrayal of the eccentric lounge singer Vic Fontaine in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. While the actor entered the show in the last two seasons, he created a name for himself that people would remember for generations to come.
The iconic actor recently passed away, and after this, several of his past interviews are resurfacing, showing that he was more than an actor, a kind and emotional human being. He showed off the same compassionate gesture to his Deep Space Nine co-star Nana Visitor that brought her to tears.
The Star Trek universe is known for introducing a variety of memorable characters and actors to its roster. This was precisely the case when the producers of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine were looking to add a distinct character to the show's later seasons. They envisioned a charismatic holographic old-school lounge singer named Vic Fontaine.
