description: "Brian Earl Thompson is an American actor. His career began with a small role in the 1984 film The Terminator. He played the villainous \"Night Slasher\" in the 1986 film Cobra. His first named role was on Werewolf, a horror series that ran during Fox's inaugural broadcasting year of 1987–1988. Thompson has played several characters in the Star Trek franchise—the most notable being the Klingon Lieutenant Klag, who informed Commander William Riker that \"Gagh is always best when served live\", the Alien Bounty Hunter on The X-Files, and Eddie Fiori on Kindred: The Embraced. In 2014, he produced, wrote and starred in the B movie parody The Extendables."
