Does anyone know who the actor is that portrayed Geoff Corin? I can not find any information about this guy anywhere.... and he looks SO dang familiar! I'd say he almost looks like Denzel Washington, but I know it's not him. The credits that IMDB give is some 70+ year old guy (who only did the voice?). This guy does NOT look like he was born in the 1920's... at the time of SFA, he looked like he was maybe in his mid - late 20's, possibly early 30s... which would have put in at 1970s or 60's, earliest.

I would love to know who this mysterious guy is, and why he's not listed in the credits anywhere. (Not even Memory Alpha lists the "portrayed by").

Just thought I'd dig up an old post here. To my understanding he is played by Anthony Montgomery who would go on to play helmsman Travis Mayweather in 'Star Trek - Enterprise'.
Fantastic work. Here an article that confirm Generic203 findings.

Wow! Thanks for the answer! I'd given up on this thread long ago (hell, even forgot about it, until I saw the notification on my GOG client. heh)
weird that they wouldn't also credit the physical actors.

I can't find any sources outside of the site TaxAkla linked and Wikipedia that say he worked on SFA. I don't think Corin even looks like him.

Someone should ask him at a convention.

Heh, Anthony Montgomery has more lines and things to do as Corin in Starfleet Academy than as Mayweather in Enterprise..

Weird that none of the actors playing in the game got to be credited.
Edit: I think IMDB is confused about the old SNES game, since that was the character's name there (memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Geoff_Colond). Plus, it has "voice" listed for many characters who are clearly more than voice actors. So Allan Lewis, born in 1929, is probably the voice for Colond, which means that the mystery of Corin is still unsolved.

It's a guy named Allan Lewis (never mind, see edit). I found that name here: www.ussalbion.co.uk/sfacad.html (near the bottom, with a cast listing, found via image search for "Geoff Corin"). I looked the actor's name up, and on IMDB, Geoff CORIN is listed as Geoff COLOND (www.imdb.com/name/nm1653360/ - Allan Lewis; www.imdb.com/title/tt0125516/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm - the Game). So it is NOT Anthony Montgomery. That article posted above doesn't have any mention of the game now, so either it was removed or someone misread it.

I can't post links at the moment for some reason, so... I guess copy paste.

Another edit: Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Montgomery) and moviedb (www.themoviedb.org/person/151377-anthony-montgomery) say Anthony Montgomery was in the game, but I feel like it would have been made a much bigger deal of in interviews or marketing or whatever when Enterprise came out. Plus, he doesn't mention it in an interview where he's specifically asked about his past with Star Trek (in the first two minutes): www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCS-E1X60GA (not to mention he doesn't look like Corin at all).

This is (most likely) the actor who played Geoff Corin:
www.imdb.com/name/nm0521854/

Allan Louis, not Lewis. It's likely that there was a typo in the original 1997 manual that never got corrected after the fact. There's no way Corin was played by Anthony Montgomery.

Why not? I think he (Anthony Montgomery) actually DOES look like Corin, especially on this picture: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w300_and_h450_bestv2/apmoiQlEOF9rbGoJmQ0igYXUUjG.jpg pulled from this link: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/151377-anthony-montgomery

EvilDoc: Why not?
Being in any sort of Star Trek production, let alone one that's shared with William Shatner, is worth noting on your CV.

Montgomery would've mentioned it on his own site, and it definitely would be noted on the official Trek site. It's the sort of trivia you'd expect from a franchise that's so detail oriented. He also didn't really start his film/TV acting career until well after production was done on the game (his first credits are in 1998).

I'm sticking to my belief that the wrong Allan Lewis was credited because of a typo way back in the 90s.
