Cliff Boleedit

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Cliff Bole directed numerous Star Trek episodes.

The Bolian race was named for Cliff (he directed the first episode in which they were featured, TNG: "Conspiracy"), an in-joke that was carried to an even more obvious conclusion in the naming of the Cliffs of Bole - a tourist destination on the Bolian homeworld. (DS9: "Invasive Procedures")

According to actor Wil Wheaton ("Wesley Crusher"), many directors treated him condescendingly on the set. He elaborates, "Most of them favored grabbing me by the elbow and moving me around the set, rather than, you know, giving me direction like I was a person or a professional or anything like that. The worst offender was this guy Cliff Bole." [1]

Bole also directed episodes for other cult series such as The Six Million Dollar Man, MacGyver, and The X-Files.
