Harris Yulin Gave 'Deep Space Nine' One of Its Greatest Performances

Harris Yulin passed away this week at the age of 87. The Broadway star had a litany of beloved and memorable film and TV roles to his name, like a fan-favorite turn in Ghostbusters II—but Star Trek fans will forever remember him for his incredible turn as a traumatized Cardassian office clerk in one of Deep Space Nine‘s first all-time classics, “Duet”.

"Duet" is a Top 10--maybe Top 5 "Deep Space Nine" episode. He played a Cardassian deeply troubled by PTSD and a twisted form of survivor's guilt. You believed every word. The interplay between him and Nerys was a great character study.

Farewell to Harris Yulin (1937-2025)

He’s great in an early role on KOJAK as a drug-pushing pimp w/ a stable that includes Tina Louise, Ann Jillian, and Jess Walton. And Isabel Sanford plays an ex-madam.

It’s like a 1970s all-star team w/ Yulin batting clean-up. Thanks for 50+ years of solid work.
