Barron Westall-Toler (born 19 March 1951; age 73) is a cosplayer who had a background part in Star Trek.
Born in California, Toler is probably best known as a lookalike for Avery Brooks. In 1997 he was interviewed in Denise Crosby's documentary Trekkies. In 2007 he and Patrick Stewart lookalike Giles Aston founded the science fiction restaurant Captains Table in San José, California, after the two first met at a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas in 2005. Toler can also be seen in briefly during a costume contest at Star Trek: The Experience in the VOY Season 1 DVD special feature Star Trek: The Experience.
