His appearances were so repetitive, it felt like they were just ticking a checklist by having him on each season, rather than actually having a good story idea for why he’d be there (I felt the same way about the heist episodes after awhile).

Flagg (that's not his real name) would be up there as well.]]> How has nobody mentioned Charo as April Lopez on “The Love Boat” yet? 😃

He shows up 7 times across seasons 3-5. I guess he breaks the rule in the 5th season, where he is credited with 3 appearances, but it’s really the role Spiner was known for before being cast as Data in ST:TNG.

I can’t find out how many episodes per season he was in but he was in 11 over 9 seasons.
