Lieutenant Reginald Endicott "Reg" Barclay III, played by Dwight Schultz, was a recurring character in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. He later had a recurring role in the last few seasons of Star Trek: Voyager where he plays a vital role in re-establishing regular contact with Voyager.
Overview
University of Rochester professor Sarah Higley created Reginald Barclay in her script for the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Hollow Pursuits". According to Higley, Barclay is a satirical depiction of Trekkies and their excessive obsession with imaginary characters. He has characteristics associated with many negative nerd and geek stereotypes. While possessing great technical skill and sincere enthusiasm, Barclay seems anxiety-ridden, socially awkward, and self-conscious in ways that may indicate Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality disorder or social anxiety disorder. He also displays stuttering and dysfluent speech behaviors, especially when nervous or anxious, along with some secondary gestures, such as facial grimaces and small head tics. He has an obsessive interest in fantasy, which seems to serve as an escape from personal interaction. Barclay's anxieties extend to idiosyncratic fears (such as fear of being transported) and hypochondriasis. The overcoming of his fears and social avoidance became a running plot point across many seasons in multiple Star Trek series.

This is a shot from the 6th season episode of Star Trek The Next Generation called "Realm of Fear", just before it ends, in Ten Forward, where Transporter Chief Miles Edward O'Brien is showing Reginald Barclay, who has a phobia of the transporters and who thus normally avoids O'Brien, his pet spider, a tarantula named "Christine". Notably, Barclay is also not comfortable with spiders.
