Christopher Neame (born 12 September 1947; age 60) is a British actor who portrayed Unferth in VOY: "Heroes and Demons" and the German General in ENT: "Storm Front" and "Storm Front, Part II".
Neame is, like Simon Pegg, Alan Dale, Barrie Ingham, Guy Siner, John Franklyn-Robbins, Maurice Roëves, Olaf Pooley, and Daphne Ashbrook, one of the very small number of actors to have speaking roles in both the Star Trek and Doctor Who franchises. (Gregg Palmer also appeared in both franchises but his role in Star Trek went uncredited.) In Neame's case his Doctor Who appearance was never shown on television although it was released on VHS; he played the villain Skagra in the serial, Shada, which was filmed during Doctor Who's 1979-80 season but abandoned due to a BBC strike, though it was later reconstructed for home video release. Neame also portrayed the Dark Lord Jerec in the cutscenes for the video game Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.
