... as Vedek Bareil
Philip Anglim (born 11 February 1953; age 71) is the actor best known to Star Trek fans for his portrayal of Bareil Antos on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He also played the mirror universe version of Bareil in the DS9 episode "Resurrection". A native of San Francisco, Anglim initially aimed towards a career as a veterinarian but ultimately took up acting when a drama teacher asked him to participate in a play.
Outside of Star Trek, Anglim is best known for his portrayal of the deformed John Merrick in the stage and television productions of The Elephant Man, both of which co-starred Kevin Conway. For his performance of Merrick in the Broadway production of the play, Anglim was nominated for a 1979 Best Actor Tony Award; for his performance in the 1982 television adaptation of the play, Anglim received an Emmy Award nomination as well as a Golden Globe nomination.
Anglim graduated from Yale University with a BA in English literature in 1973; that same year, he made his film debut with an uncredited bit part in the boxing drama The All-American Boy. Following a stint with the Southbury Playhouse in Connecticut, Anglim made his television debut in the 1976 PBS mini-series The Adams Chronicles (which also featured Richard Cox in the cast). He also had a role in the controversial film The Message (a depiction of the founding of Islam), which starred Michael Ansara and Michael Forest.
Following the success of Elephant Man, Anglim returned to Broadway in 1981 to play the title role in a revival of William Shakespeare's MacBeth. This production also starred Ivar Brogger, Kelsey Grammer and John Vickery and was also filmed for a television broadcast later that year. In 1983 Anglim starred as Dane O'Neil in the epic mini-series The Thorn Birds along with fellow Trek alumni Antoinette Bower, Brett Cullen, John de Lancie, Richard Kiley, Christopher Plummer, Jean Simmons and Meg Wyllie. Anglim's acting career throughout the rest of the 1980s consisted of a few feature films: 1983's Testament, 1987's Malone (co-starring Tracey Walter – their second film together after The Horse Dealer's Daughter in 1983, which was Anglim's first major feature film credit), and 1988's Haunted Summer (with Alice Krige).
After a few more films in the early 1990s, Anglim stuck solely to television. Besides appearing multiple times on DS9, he also guest-starred in an episode of Millennium (working with the likes of Megan Gallagher, Terry O'Quinn and Bill Smitrovich) and appeared in the 1998 Dallas TV special War of the Ewings along with Tracy Scoggins.

Trivia
After originating the role of John Merrick in the initial off-Broadway production of The Elephant Man and becoming the first to play Merrick on Broadway in 1979, Anglim left the role in late 1980 to star as MacBeth. Among the actors to replace Anglim until the play closed in 1981 were veteran Trek guest actor Bruce Davison, TNG/ENT guest actor Jeffrey Hayenga, singer David Bowie and the actor best known for playing Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill. Additionally, Concetta Tomei became a cast member late in the production.
