UPN last night aired a promo for STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE's "Borderland" featuring WWE wrestler 'Big Show' as an Orion Slave Trader. Also known as Paul Wight, Big Show gives Jolene Blalock a lot to worry about in tonight's episode, but the wrestler says the actress treated him to a special tour of the bridge of the NX-01.

The clip includes behind the scenes footage of the second wrestler to appear on TREK (the first being 'The Rock' in VOYAGER's "Tsunkatse") being air-painted for his green Orion skin and towering over the cast and crew on the set of ENTERPRISE.

Thanks to Matt Klamm for digitizing the clip and providing the screenshots. We've made a medium-quality (1.59 MB) Flash version of the segment, which you can view by clicking here.

I'm excited about any guest star with any weight to his name. The Rock brought a small amount of attention to Voyager, and now even if Big Show brings on a few viewers, at least it will be for "Borderland" which is apparently getting great reviews. Of course Spiner is the real attention grabber, but the occasional B-list guest star every once in a while doesn't hurt either.

    Anything to boost the numbers for the third week in a row. And if the episode is as good as the reviews say, this stunt might actually work the way Vanessa Williams for example did not.

      Well it will get people to watch the show at least. Whether it's a good episode or not is another matter. :)
