Dr. Phlox (John Billingsley)

Post by Enola Straight »

I've noticed that the actor who plays Phlox (billingsley) has a mouth which, for some reason, is half paralyzed.

Did he have a stroke, or suffer from Bell's Palsy?

I found nothing on Google.

Is he really that way or is it the make up or done on purpose?

No, I've seen him on an episode of NYPDBlue as a cab driver and he's suffering the mouth palsy there as well.

He also talked that way in the series of quit smoking ads that he did right before getting the gig on Enterprise

I didn't notice any problems with his mouth when he was on Stargate.
