Jonathan Del Arco (born March 7, 1966) is a Uruguayan American actor and gay rights and political activist. He is best known for his role as Hugh the Borg on Star Trek: The Next Generation and for his starring role as medical examiner Dr. Morales on The Closer and Major Crimes. He was awarded the 2013 Visibility Award from Human Rights Campaign and is a guest speaker for the organization.
As a teenager, Del Arco became interested in acting and the theater. He often traveled by commuter train to New York City, where he attended plays. He eventually enrolled in acting classes there; and, after graduating from high school, he moved to New York City permanently. Shortly after, Del Arco won a role in the road company of Torch Song Trilogy.
Del Arco partnered with another gay man while living in New York City. This partner died of AIDS in the late 1980s while Del Arco resided in the city.
In 1990, with a role on the Miami Vice television show and a role in the independent film Lost Angeles under his belt, Del Arco moved to Los Angeles, California. Guest starring roles on the television series True Colors, Sisters, The Wonder Years, and Blossom as well as a small role in the film The Mambo Kings followed. His most notable role during this period was as the Borg drone, Hugh, on Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1992, which he reprised in 1993.
