The lone American actor in the core Farscape cast among a group of Australian and New Zealanders, Ben Browder played brash but level-headed NASA astronaut John Crichton through all four seasons of the series (as well as in the 2004 event series Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars). Both Browder and fellow Farscape star Claudia Black ended up sticking ar...
Black told SYFY WIRE in 2022 that her Aeryn Sun character was “the heart” of Farscape, and through all four seasons (plus the Peacekeeper Wars), Black evolved the human-like alien role from that of a cold soldier to a mother and empath who provides the anchor for other characters’ varying emotions. Like Browder, Black stayed on at SYFY to close out...
Underneath all those burly prosthetics, actor Anthony Simcoe gave Luxan warrior Ka D’Argo a characteristically take-charge and often stormy personality. The ‘tude matched the looks, too: Thanks to Farscape executive producer and creature creator Brian Henson, D’Argo made an impact as an imposing humanoid ally; serving up the kind of brawn the rest ...
Striking as the blue-skinned Delvian priestess Zhaan, Virginia Hey played a proto-Avatar role of sorts on Farscape, with her spiritually-attuned humanoid character capable of communing closely with nature’s ethereal side. Longtime fans may know Hey for something a bit less touchy-feely, though: Alongside a string of roles in other 1980s movies, she...
Debuting midway through Farscape’s first season and spinning by Season 2 into a series regular, Australian entertainer Gigi Edgley played grey-skinned space ragamuffin Chiana as a darty, sometimes sexy wild card character bent on bucking the stuffy authority of her native planet of Nebari Prime. Since Farscape ended, Edgley has mostly been seen on ...
Weaving in and out of the series from Season 1 onward but playing a bigger role in Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, Paul Goddard appeared as Stark, the humanoid alien with a glowing face that’s typically concealed beneath a metal mask. Much of Goddard’s screen career predates Farscape, which marked one of the actor’s most recent roles. You’ve probab...
Farscape came late in the long and prolific screen career of New Zealand actor Jonathan Hardy, who passed away in 2012. Classically trained with a stage background in Shakespeare, Hardy brought an innocent air of royal smarminess to his creature-effects role as the voice of Rygel, the hefty and once-proud ruler of the Hynerian alien race. Prior to ...
Lani Tupu provided a pair of creature voices on Farscape: one for Season 1 antagonist Bialar Crais, and the other (reprised in The Peacekeeper Wars) for the enigmatic and aptly-named Pilot, an animatronic character who dispensed wisdom from his permanently-bonded perch within the ship. Much of Tupu’s screen career predates Farscape, including roles...

- Ben Browder (John Crichton) Only a few actors appeared in every episode of Farscape, and one of them was Ben Browder. That's understandable, as his character's search for a place aboard the ship while also avoiding the crew's violent enemies was one of the central plots of the show.
- Claudia Black (Aeryn Sun) One of the central characters of Farscape was the former Peacekeeper Aeryn Sun. Played by Claudia Black, Aeryn's trust of (and romance with) human John Crichton helped establish the show's plot in the early going, and Aeryn proved to be a formidable force throughout Farscape's run.
- Anthony Simcoe (Ka D'Argo) The Luxan warrior Ka D'Argo, played by Anthony Simcoe, was another of Farscape's central characters. He was long held prisoner by the Peacekeeper forces, and proved to be a good friend and powerful ally as the crew of Moya explored the Uncharted Territories.
- Lani Tupu (Pilot & Bialar Crais) Lani Tupu is credited as appearing in every episode of Farscape, though his dual role on the show meant that he was sometimes on camera and sometimes voice acting.
