Abdullah bin al-Hussein
King Abdullah II bin al-Hussein (Arabic: عبدالله الثاني بن الحسين)  is the king of the . An acknowledged fan of Star Trek, King Abdullah (then a prince) appeared as an uncredited extra in the  second season episode . Voyager executive producer Jeri Taylor commented, "Take away the title and the trappings, and at the core you have a Star Trek fan." ()

Abdullah's cameo was arranged as a surprise for him by his US advisor. The prince – who, at the time of his cameo, was thirty-four years old – enthused, "I would have been thrilled just to visit the set but this is too much." After being put into makeup, given pointed sideburns and then fitted for his uniform (a lieutenant of the sciences division), he rehearsed and shot his scene. (TV Guide, 17-23 Feb., p. 26) He appears in the episode's opening scene as a science officer who speaks with Harry Kim as the scene fades in. He was not given any spoken lines, however, because he was not a member of the Screen Actors Guild (now ). After filming his cameo, he was crowded by well-wishers, including Robert Picardo, who secretly presented the delighted guest with an autographed picture of himself in his role of The Doctor. (TV Guide, 17-23 Feb., p. 26) Abdullah subsequently gave a party for the Voyager cast. () During his time on the Star Trek: Voyager set, Abdullah also invited Robert Picardo and Neelix actor Ethan Phillips to his own country of Jordan, an offer that Phillips took up during the hiatus between Voyagers second and third seasons. () Picardo also apparently took up the offer, where upon their arrival, Abdullah "arranged tours of the country's historical monuments, he had also laid on a mini-convention of the programme's fans." 

Abdullah was crowned King of Jordan in 1999.
