Star Trek Guest Star Had 1 Big Problem with Cardassian Role on DS9

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine guest star Harris Yulin had one problem with playing Cardassian war criminal Aamin Marritza in DS9 season 1, episode 19, “Duet”. Widely regarded as a highlight of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, “Duet” is DS9 season 1’s best episode, acting as an early indicator of the complex political themes that Star Trek: DS9

would come to be known for. Yulin’s Marritza is a Cardassian war criminal who forces Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) to reckon with her own prejudices against Cardassians by seeking punishment for his complicity in the atrocities committed at a labor camp during the Cardassian occupation of Bajor.
