Star Trek: Resurgence Cast Guide – Who Voices the Main Characters

If you are trying to place a voice mid-playthrough or check the credits after the finale, here is the verified answer: Star Trek: Resurgence stars Krizia Bajos as Commander Jara Rydek and Josh Keaton as Carter Diaz, the two playable leads aboard the USS Resolute. Jonathan Frakes returns as William T. Riker, and Piotr Michael plays Ambassador Spock. The supporting bench is deep and, contrary to a lot of fan write-ups, most of it is documented down to the character.

The short version

• Commander Jara Rydek (first officer, playable lead) — Krizia Bajos.
• Carter Diaz (enlisted engineer, playable lead) — Josh Keaton.
• William T. Riker — Jonathan Frakes, reprising his TNG role.
• Ambassador Spock — Piotr Michael.
• Dr. Eraam Duvall and the Hotari Queen — Debra Wilson (dual role).
• Chovak — JP Karliak. Petty Officer Miranda Maris — Abby Trott. Ben Westbrook and Sidron — Keith Silverstein.
• Petty Officer Nili Edsilar — Stephanie Sheh. Galvan — Elias Toufexis. Commander Yann Urmott — Liam O’Brien.

Resurgence was built by Dramatic Labs — a studio founded by more than twenty former Telltale Games staff — and published by Bruner House. It launched May 23, 2023. That Telltale pedigree is why the game leans so hard on performance: it is a branching-choice narrative adventure, so the cast carries the experience rather than decorating it.

The two playable leads you hear most

Because Resurgence alternates between two perspectives, Bajos and Keaton account for most of the spoken dialogue. Start here.

Commander Jara Rydek — Krizia Bajos

Krizia Bajos voices Jara Rydek, a half-Kobliad officer who arrives as the Resolute’s new first officer and has to earn the crew’s trust. Rydek anchors the command-level perspective: bridge scenes, formal decisions, and most of the game’s diplomatic pressure points run through her. If you are listening for the authoritative, senior-officer voice in a dialogue tree, that is Bajos.

Carter Diaz — Josh Keaton

Josh Keaton voices Carter Diaz, a gifted engineer who skipped Starfleet Academy and enlisted instead. Diaz is the lower-decks counterweight to Rydek: where she handles command, he handles the hands-on, ground-level side of a crisis. When a sequence feels less formal and more immediate, Diaz is usually the point-of-view character. Some credits shorten him to “Carter” — same role.

The franchise veterans

Two legacy Star Trek characters appear, and the casting choices behind them are different in kind.

William T. Riker — Jonathan Frakes

Jonathan Frakes reprises William T. Riker, the role he originated on The Next Generation. He is the one direct performance bridge between this game and televised Star Trek — not a soundalike, but the actual screen actor returning. If you want the most recognizable returning franchise voice in Resurgence, it is Frakes.

Ambassador Spock — Piotr Michael

Piotr Michael voices Spock, and his own professional credits bill the part specifically as Ambassador Spock. That fits the game’s post-TNG setting around 2380: this is the older, diplomatic Spock from later franchise continuity, not the original-series-era portrayal. So while Frakes supplies a returning actor, Michael supplies a character-faithful interpretation of a specific stage of Spock’s life.

Supporting cast, mapped to their roles

Resurgence is not a two-hander with occasional guests — it runs on a large ensemble, which is why ship, faction, and mission scenes sound populated. Here is who plays whom, where the role is documented:

• Debra Wilson — Dr. Eraam Duvall, the Resolute’s chief medical officer, and the Hotari Queen. This is a confirmed dual role, not a rumor.
• JP Karliak — Chovak, the Vulcan officer.
• Abby Trott — Petty Officer Miranda Maris.
• Keith Silverstein — Ben Westbrook and Sidron.
• Stephanie Sheh — Petty Officer Nili Edsilar (some credits shorten this to “Edsilar”).
• Elias Toufexis — Galvan.
• Liam O’Brien — Commander Yann Urmott.

Several more established voice actors are credited on the project without a publicly documented character assignment, including Jim Meskimen, Ali Hillis, Amanda C. Miller, Bumper Robinson, Robbie Daymond, Roger Craig Smith, and Victoria Atkin. Treat them as confirmed cast members; do not trust any source that pins them to a specific character, because that mapping is not in the public record.

Common mistakes when reading the cast list

• Treating shortened names as different roles. “Carter” is Carter Diaz; “Edsilar” is Nili Edsilar. Formatting varies between IMDb, Behind The Voice Actors, and Memory Alpha — the underlying roles do not.
• Calling Debra Wilson’s doctor role “unconfirmed.” Her dual role as Dr. Duvall and the Hotari Queen is documented across IMDb, Behind The Voice Actors, and her own Wikipedia filmography.
• Assuming Spock is the Nimoy-era version. Michael plays the later Ambassador Spock, consistent with the game’s ~2380 timeframe.
• Inventing roles for the unmapped ensemble. If a character assignment for Daymond, Smith, Hillis, Meskimen, Robinson, Miller, or Atkin is not in IMDb / BTVA / Memory Alpha, it is speculation.

Why the cast carries this game

In a branching-choice adventure, performance is the load-bearing element. The casting is strongest exactly where it needs to be: Bajos and Keaton hold the structure as the two leads, Frakes supplies direct franchise continuity, and Michael handles the most sensitive legacy role on the call sheet. The mapped supporting cast — Wilson, Karliak, Trott, Silverstein, Sheh, Toufexis, and O’Brien — fills out a believable ship complement around them.

If you are building a quick reference while you play: memorize the two leads, recognize Frakes and Michael as the legacy voices, and use the supporting list above to place the rest.
