Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan

Goldberg, a larger-than-life personality, was already a certified star even before joining The Next Generation as Guinan. Her character, an enigmatic figure of an unspecified race, skillfully guided the Enterprise’s moral compass. In fact, Goldberg personally requested to be a part of the franchise, having grown up admiring the African American trailblazer, Nichelle Nichols, from the original Star Trek series.
