Early life

In the early 1990s, he had a recurring role as Lieutenant Reginald Barclay in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and reprised the role in Star Trek: Voyager and the film Star Trek: First Contact.

Schultz played a dramatic change-of-pace role in the 1992 television film Child of Rage, starring opposite Mel Harris as a compassionate couple who adopt a troubled girl who has been sexually abused.

In November 2009, Schultz confirmed that he and former A-Team co-star Dirk Benedict would make cameo appearances in the feature film The A-Team. Although their parts were ultimately cut from the film, they were included after the credits as an Easter egg.
