Cully Fredricksen is an actor best known for many roles: Valley of the Heart's Delight, Camera Obscura, Playing Dangerous 2, "The Client", The Prodigal Father, Terror in the Shadows (1995) "ER" (1 episode, 1995). He is known to be heavily involved with Science fiction productions such as Star Trek: First Contact as the Vulcan Captain (the first acknowledged alien to set foot on Earth), Star Trek: Voyager as Dereth. His most recent role as that of Jedi General Rahm Kota in the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Fredricksen was the first actor cast for the game. One of several actors who read for the part, Fredricksen approached the reading fully in-character, which initially made the casting director believe that the actor may be standoffish and difficult to work with. However, it was soon realized that Fredricksen was just being Kota. That, combined with the actor's physicality and his ability to produce a wide range of facial expressions, convinced the production team to hire him as the gruff general. Fredricksen was described as the "consummate professional," and "a lot of fun to work with." He re-recorded voice-over dialogue for the character in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition and has recently reprised his role as Kota, uncredited for the video game Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. He is set to reprise the role of Kota again for the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.
