Jeffrey Combs.

He's mostly a supporting actor, but he's a chameleon who always delivers.

How has no one mentioned Karl Urban yet, criminal. Apart from fantasy and superhero films, his sci-fi films like Doom, Judge Dredd, Star Trek, Riddick

THE sci-fi actor? Tough to choose, but Sigourney Weaver deserves to be on the nomination list.

Patrick Stewart has been in some real bangers

When I think Sci-Fi I think Patrick Stewart. Bonus points that I can actually believe he is his character. When he plays Picard, I see Picard.

On the other hand, when Matt Damon plays the guy on Mars, I see Matt Damon playing a guy on Mars.
