Stephen Hawking (born 8 January 1942; age 82) is a noted scientist. He is famous for formulating several theories regarding the nature of black holes, often working with colleague Kip Thorne.
Hawking is the only person to have ever played himself on Star Trek, appearing as a hologram of himself in TNG: "Descent", (although if holograms count, then Joe Piscopo may also have been playing himself in the episode "The Outrageous Okona"). It is reported that when Hawking was taken on a tour of the engineering set, he indicated the warp core and said, "I'm working on that."
He also played himself on both Futurama & The Simpsons and appeared in a Red Dwarf Documentary.
When Stephen Hawking visited the set after the filming of "Descent", he passed by actor Brent Spiner. Spiner greeted the professor and Hawking asked where his money was from winning the hand of poker. Spiner said that the check was in the mail.
Hawking visited the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine set during the filming of "The House of Quark". In the DS9 Companion, Armin Shimerman describes meeting Dr. Hawking as one of the high points of his life.
