Bing Crosby was an American actor and singer in the 20th century.

In 2153, Commander Tucker suggested that the first movie night in the Delphic Expanse should feature a classic comedy film with Crosby and Bob Hope. (ENT: "Impulse")

In 2399, Jean-Luc Picard dreamt that he was in Ten Forward with Data playing poker and listening to Bing Crosby's version of the Irving Berlin song called "Blue Skies". (PIC: "Remembrance")

Bing Crosby was the real life grandfather of Denise Crosby, the actress who portrayed Natasha Yar and Sela, and the father of Mary Crosby, the actress who played Natima Lang in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine second season episode "Profit and Loss".

Several films with Crosby and Hope were made for Paramount Pictures. Years later, a building was named for Bing Crosby on Paramount's studio lot. The production offices for Star Trek: The Next Generation and the subsequent spin-off series were located in this building. (Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 168)

The Bing Crosby song "Johnny Appleseed" was used in the Star Trek: Short Treks episode "The Trouble with Edward". Crosby also provided his voice for the original 1931 recording of "Goodnight Sweetheart", and is known for the song "Moonlight Becomes You".
