In the early 1990s, he appeared on "", in the episode "", playing Sergey Rozhenko, the Russian-born adoptive father of Worf. Bikel performed two roles in the "Babylon 5" universe, in 1994 as Rabbi Koslov in the first-season episode "TKO" and in 1998, as Ranger leader Lenonn in the TV movie "". Bikel was nominated for the Drama Desk Award in 2010 for outstanding solo performance for "Sholom Aleichem: Laughter Through Tears", an off-Broadway play which he also wrote. In 2012, Bikel played the title role in "Visiting Mr. Green" with the Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company in Toronto, Ontario. In 2013, Bikel starred in "Journey 4 Artists", a documentary which celebrates the power of music and religious diversity. In 1955, at the suggestion of Jac Holzman of Elektra Records, Bikel began recording songs, including several albums of Jewish folk songs and songs from Russia and other countries, making over 20 contemporary and folk music albums during his career. For those, he played acoustic guitar alone or accompanied by other musicians. He was able to sing in 21 different languages, including Yiddish, Hebrew, German, Russian, Hungarian, Romanian, French, medieval Spanish, Zulu and English. His early albums included "Israeli Folk Songs" (1955) and "Songs of Russian Old & New" (1960). Bikel's live performances were issued on two albums: "Bravo Bikel" (1959), and "Bikel on Tour"(1963). In 1959, Bikel co-founded the Newport Folk Festival (together with Pete Seeger, Harold Leventhal, Oscar Brand and George Wein). He performed a number of recorded duets with Judy Collins at various festivals and on television. During an interview, when asked what inspired him to become involved in organizing a folk festival, he said that music was "one of the few answers to the chaos that we have," one of the only recourses to avoid social strife, and a means of giving youth hope for a better world. Bikel viewed then 21-year-old Bob Dylan as one of those young performers expressing emotional and social messages through song. In 1963, Bikel joined Dylan, Seeger, Peter, Paul and Mary and Joan Baez for the festival grand finale as they sang "Blowin' in the Wind" and "We Shall Overcome." Following the festival, Bikel, Seeger and Dylan traveled to a planned rally in Greenwood, Mississippi to perform Dylan's newly-written song, "Only a Pawn in Their Game," about the man who murdered Medgar Evers.
