Re: The one role
Pretty much every leading character in Star Trek, including TNG.
Kirk, Spock, Picard, Data, etc.
Even Shatner's character in Boston Legal made a couple of oblique references to Star Trek.

Just about every actor who has played “The Doctor” (Though David Tennant seems to be an exception so far)
