Adam Bargar (born 31 July 1984; age 40) played a Starfleet cadet in the Star Trek: Voyager seventh season episode "Endgame".
Bargar was just 16 years old when he recovered from a life-threatening illness and received this "wish" from the Make-a-Wish-Foundation. As a Star Trek fan, Bargar traveled with his parents to Los Angeles to visit the sets and was surprised when the production asked him for his clothing dimensions. He describes this experience as surreal, filmed his scene, and shot photos with the cast members Kate Mulgrew, Garrett Wang, and Robert Picardo.
Today, Bargar is working as an accountant.
