Vic
Fontaine - Las Vegas lounge singer from a holographic
program (No. 62) created by space station Doctor Julian Bashir
(Alexander Siddig) on the sci-fi series STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE
NINE/SYN/1993-1999.
Dressed in a tuxedo, Vic Fontaine (played by James Darren)
entertained the crowds of admirers who visited his holographic
casino environment to drink, smoke and gamble, and of course, to
hear Vic sing.
To make Vic's personality true to
the times, he was imbued with all the old Earth slang one might
expect someone from 1962 to speak. (Cat, Daddy-O, etc.)
When singing such classics like "I'll Be Seeing You," Vic's smooth
vocal style resembled the cool tones of Frank Sinatra or Tony
Bennett.
If asked to take some time off from his program, Vic
responded "Performing is my life. I got to get out there and
swing or I'm just another Clyde in a tux."
In between sets, Vic mingled with customers and often
counseled lost souls who were depressed over their love life or
other problems.
