Actor Bert Remsen (born February 25, 1925 in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York, USA; died April 22, 1999 in Sherman Oaks, California, USA) portrayed the Bajoran Kubus Oak in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Collaborator".

Remsen made his film debut in the 1959 war film Pork Chop Hill, in which Paul Comi and Clarence Williams III also appreared. Afterwards, he became a cast member on the television series Twelve O'Clock High, starring one-time TOS guest stars Robert Lansing and Frank Overton. In 1964, he would suffer a broken back during an on-set accident and, unable to act, became a casting director. Nonetheless, he would return to acting full time in the 1970s.

Like his Deep Space Nine co-star Rene Auberjonois and Trek alumni John Schuck and Sally Kellerman, Remsen appeared in several films by director Robert Altman. He even co-starred with Auberjonois, Shuck, and Kellerman in the films Brewster McCloud (1970, also with William Windom) and McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971). He also appeared in Altman's 1974 films California Split, featuring John Winston, and Thieves Like Us, with John Schuck and Remsen's "Collaborator" co-star Louise Fletcher. In 1975, he had a role in Altman's Nashville, co-starring Robert Doqui and Henry Gibson, and in 1976, he was in another Altman film, Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson, also featuring Robert Doqui. The last film he made with Altman was 1978's A Wedding, co-starring Paul Dooley.

In 1990, he made an appearance in the popular film Dick Tracy. Also appearing in this film were the likes of John Schuck, Seymour Cassel, Paul Sorvino, Robert Costanzo, Hamilton Camp, Michael J. Pollard, Ian Wolfe, and Colm Meaney. In 1994, he and fellow Trek alumni William Marshall and Henry Darrow appeared as poker players in the film Maverick. In 1995, Remsen was a part of the cast of Dillinger and Capone, as were F. Murray Abraham, Stephen Davies, Catherine Hicks, Jeffrey Combs, Clint Howard, Joe Maruzzo, and Jessica Hendra. And then in 1997, he appeared as a judge in the thriller Conspiracy Theory, which starred Star Trek: The Next Generation actor Patrick Stewart.
