Answer:

Frakes appeared in "Defiant", an episode from season three of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", playing Thomas Riker, a transporter created duplicate of William Riker who first appeared in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Second Chances". Frakes subsequently appeared as William Riker in the "Star Trek: Voyager" episode "Death Wish".

Tim Russ appeared in the "Deep Space Nine" episode "Through the Looking Glass", set in the so-called 'Mirror Universe', playing that universe's version of his character, Tuvok. Robert Picardo played a version of his regular character, the Emergency Medical Hologram, and the EMH creator, Dr Lewis Zimmerman, in the "Deep Space Nine" episode "Dr Bashir, I Presume?".
