I found the famous scene from "Duet", on YouTube.
If you've seen the episode, I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about.

I'm re-watching DS9 again (been years since my last visit) and I'm watching the very same episode right now. The acting is superb especially on Harris Yulin's part.
TNG/DS9 = best star trek series by far

I realize this thread has been around for years, but Netflix recently added DS9 to it's instant watch lineup. I am a fan of the show (it's my favorite Trek hands down), and "Duet" is among the best of Trek. It was only this time around though that I realized it was Harris Yulin. As I watched him become angry during his scenes where he was provoking Major Kira, suddenly it clicked and I said out loud "Oh my god it's Judge Wexler!".
Yulin's performance was flawless, impeccable, strong, powerful, there are so many words to describe it. I was moved to tears when his character broke down, and you just knew he had seen so many atrocities that haunted his waking moments as well as his dreams, and he felt he needed to make restitution. Just a powerful episode, and another reason why Yulin is one of the most talented actors in the business today.

This episode MADE ME a Harris Yulin fan. It was so powerful. So amazing. So moving. I was haunted by this episode for YEARS after i first sawed it aired the very first time. That was good script writing and STELLAR ACTING. If I ever got a chance to meet Mr. Yulin, I would have shook his hand and said simply "Thank you". Such art is a gift to the world.

I have seen
Duet
before on several occasions and have always considered it to be high on the list of all-time greatest Trek episodes. I watched it again tonight and as always, when Mr Yulin's character breaks down, so do I. His performance here is amazing. The purity of emotion displayed in that penultimate scene is the stuff of legend. He transcends entertainment, reaching the level of true art. This is in my personal Trek Top Ten, and I feel that even a non-Trek Fan will be touched by this episode.
Once again, my hat is off to this great performer and talented man. Jolan Tru Harris Yulin.

DS9 had it's share of some of the best actors in the Star Trek franchise. I've just rewatched Duet a few days ago, and it was brilliant. Among the top 10 Trek episodes ever. Yulin was fantastic, truly great acting.
DS9 also had Andrew Robinson and Louise Fletcher in the recurring cast. When Winn showed up, I always expected her to yell "Mister McMurphy!".

I just saw him in scarface and knew I saw him somwhere but couldnt' put my finger on it. I recognized his "evil eyes" immediately but couldn't remember where I saw him before.
because of the Cardassian makeup the thought didn't cross my mind until I came here to check lol
