1. Scott Bakula; Jonathon Archer, ENT
When producers selected Scott Bakula to help them reboot the Star Trek universe in 2001 on the show Enterprise, it smacked of genius. Bakula came loaded with fans from his years in the show Quantum Leap. The series didn’t quite hit warp 10, and after four years was off the air. Bakula was not worried. Applying the formula of prior-successes, he had no trouble finding work. Most recently, he’s bee on NCIS: New Orleans playing a reoccurring role, Dwayne Pride, and on the series Desperate Housewives.
