I mean, it doesn’t necessarily rule out a convoluted explanation either. Let me tell you the story of a woman named Denise Crosby.
Badgey’s combs
Cold open to badgey in a study, sipping at a miniature warp core as he reads quietly.
Eventually, badgey will announce he has a story for us, he was combing through some old memory files and found an interesting rhyme in the stories - so he compiled them together to see what would happen.
Badgey clears his throat dramatically, and lets out a shrill dial-up sound as the screen fades over to the tale of the combs - compiled entirely of our favorite multi-faced man and one new Combs character because badgey is a dick.
Or not, I’m just stoned and insomniac, disregard me if you’d like.
There’s a few actors in the Star Trek acting community that get recycled and now and then. Cisco’s dad and the guy that played Zephrim Cochran come to mind. I can’t remember their names because I’m bad at names. Oh yeah and the guy that played Odo was in one or two other things too. They do the kind of thing a lot actually.
If you ever see a Star Trek actor in any other TV show It usually means it’s going to be a bunch of others soon enough.

If they keep the mask on and he actually plays the character rather than his usual shtick it might be okay. Disney doesn’t have a good track record of that with their big name actors keeping their masks on though.
