Ooh, Your Name - nicely done. Now did you use an outside resource or is this all from your personal memory files? I am still stumped on #2. I am tempted to say Nimoy or Frakes, but there is a good chance Stewart (who takes all sorts of work) is the one.

Hint on #2. In "Star Trek" he is not a human, but in the movie (one of the biggest alien movies of all time), he is human. His character studies aliens and is killed by an alien.

2: Brent Spiner's role as the Area 51 scientist in Independence Day.
