Ronald D. Moore

In the pilot episode of the fifth Star Trek series, "Enterprise", a character was named after him. The farmer who shot the Klingon (Klaang) in the beginning of the episode was named Farmer "Moore". This is not only homage to Ron's reputation with klingons, but also his reputation for killing off characters.

(In 1997) I have the distinct pleasure of doing exactly what I want to do and get paid for it. It's a joy. I thoroughly enjoyed my tenure on TNG and think of it as a special time in my life, but I'm frankly having more fun doing better work on DS9. So my experiences at Trek have only gotten better over time.
