I wonder how he landed these gigs, though. Was it because of his friendship with John Milius, who was probably struggling on his own at the time? Was he at all composing music at the time?
I think he was still in college at this point. But its actually pretty easy to get into this line of work. Many people in LA who are waiting for a "big break" or simply want to make some easy money do extra work. All you need to do is register at a extras agency. One of my housemates in LA was a skeleton in Army of Darkness and Walter Koenig's double in Star Trek: Generations.
Its not a particularly coveted job actually. The work is irregular, the pay isn't great and you're basically treated like livestock. You're corralled in a pen until you're supposed to go on, and the extras craft service table is usually little more than crackers and water (while cast and crew get fruit, candy, pastries, soda, etc.).

Well, I'm registered at TWO casting agencies here in Norway, but I've never gotten any assignments like that. Only commercials. Then again, we don't make things like STAR TREK, so it would be kinda difficult in the first place. I don't think we have agencies specifically for extras either. But yeah, I'm guessing stuff like that is more common in L.A., the entertainment mecca of the world.

That's fantastic! Basil told me that one of his appearances had something to do with looking in a window and I had
no idea what that could be but he was of course referring to Patterns of Force, or as it is more commonly known,
The Nazi Planet Episode.

There was a Voyager two part story during Season Four. It was called The Killing Game.
I think the aliens were hunters who were role-playing as WW II Nazis for the fun of it. And Jeri Ryan sang a torchy-hot version of "It Can't Be Wrong" from the movie NOW, VOYAGER.
