Vic Fontaine; Twentieth-century Earth entertainer. Fontaine was a prominent singer who performed in the city of Las Vegas during the 1960s. Fontaine's contemporaries included such Earth celebrities as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Among Fontaine's repertoire were such swing-era favorites as "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You," "Come Fly with Me," and "I've Got You under My Skin."

In 2374, an interactive re-creation of Fontaine was featured in a holosuite program created by Felix for his friend Julian Bashir. This remarkable simulation not only captured Fontaine's personality and sophisticated singing style, but also was self-aware, giving him an attitude appropriate for the period. The Fontaine hologram was designed to be highly perceptive of the intricacies of interpersonal relationships. Both Bashir and Odo found his advice helpful in their respective love lives. Fontaine referred to himself (as well as to other holographic characters) as a "light bulb." "His Way".

Even Quark enjoyed Fontaine's brand of sophisticated music. "Tears of the Prophets".

Worf escaped into the world of Vic Fontaine in early 2375, shortly after the death of his wife, Jadzia. Worf spent many evenings in the holosuite simulation, repeatedly asking the holographic Vic to sing "All the Way," which was Jadzia's favorite song. "Image in the Sand".

Vic Fontaine also appeared in "Shadows and Symbols", "The Siege of AR-558", "It's Only a Paper Moon", "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang", "What You Leave Behind, Parts I and II".
