Louis Ortiz (born 2 March 1962; age 62) is an actor who appeared throughout the run of Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Enterprise in many different background roles. For eleven years Ortiz worked as background performer and stand-in but received no credit for his appearances. According to John Billingsley, on set Ortiz was teaching actors how to move like an alien and behave like a specific species. ("Regeneration" audio commentary, ENT Season 2 Blu-ray)

Ortiz was featured in background material of the specials "O Captain! My Captain! A Profile of Scott Bakula" and "Cast Impressions: Season One" of the ENT Season 1 DVD. Several costumes worn by Ortiz were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay, including the costumes from the episodes "Distant Origin" [2], "Bounty" [3], "Vox Sola" [4], "The Shipment" [5], "Stigma" [6], "The Xindi" [7], "Flashback" [8], "Resistance" [9] [10] which was later worn by Holmes Osborne in "Canamar", "Awakening" and "Kir'Shara" [11], "Blood Fever" [12], his Culhane uniform [13], a Starfleet undershirt [14], Klingon uniforms [15] [16], a Xindi-Reptilian costume [17], an alien Enterprise costume [18], and a Suliban costume. [19]

(1991, with Rick Gianasi), Class of Nuke 'Em High Part II: Subhumanoid Meltdown (1991, stunt coordinated by Phil O'Dell), The Mask (1994, with Reg E. Cathey, Christopher Darga, Kevin Grevioux, Scott McElroy, Robert O'Reilly, Jeremy Roberts, and stunts by Joni Avery, Tony Brubaker, John Cade, Chris Durand, Andy Epper, Gary Epper, Lane Leavitt, Eddie Matthews, Peewee Piemonte, Rick Sawaya, and Melodee Spevack), Beyond Desire (1996, with William Bastiani), Fight Club (1999, with Zach Grenier, David Andrews, Eugenie Bondurant, Tim de Zarn, David Lee Smith, Matt Winston, Baron Jay, and stunts by Jeff Imada, Jimmy Nickerson, Lane Leavitt, and Denney Pierce), and Mirror, Mirror IV: Reflection (2000).

He portrayed Jorge in the ER episode "Luck of the Draw" (1995, with Sam Anderson and Marco Rodriguez) and the mouthless man in the Sliders episode "California Reich" (1998, with Jeremy Roberts).
