    I was surprised to find this on Youtube, a movie about stealing a submarine from 1971 with Leonard Nimoy, Malachi Throne, William Windom and a few other TOS faces. Its quite exciting, at least as 70s ABC movies of the week go.

    I used to have this on video cassette.. it was actually very well done and it was indeed a kick seeing all the Trek alumni there. Nimoy was convincing as the sub skipper, and he wasn't Kirkish at all!

    More Trek parallels:

    - The movie was produced at Paramount.
    - Other Trek related cast members include Lloyd Haynes and John Winston.
    - Eddie Milkis was the post-production supervisor.
    - Doug Grindstaff was the sound editor.

    I think the most TOS actors in one place would be found in... TOS. ;)

    And if you exclude TOS, then the Trek movies. Then TAS, and then Trials and Tribble-ations. And then Where No Fan Has Gone Before. And then...

    I'd bet there's a Mission:Impossible eps that could hold the record. I can recall seeing some eps with at least four actors, not even trying to spot 'em.

    Not surprising, as both series had Joe D'Agosta casting.

    I recall seeing a Man from UNCLE episode with five or six Trek guests, including one from TNG.

    I am right now checking from the 1st season on - to see if there is a MI ep that doesn't have at least ONE Trek associated actor...

    Right 5 were from TOS and two were from the movies/spin-offs.

    I think 7 is the record for any non -trek production.

    Expanding Human Outer Limits episode has 6!

    Duryea, Doohan, Wingreen, Andes, Homeier and Perrin.

    I pointed out on this thread's sister how Here Come the Brides had three regular cast members who were Trek guest Alumni - David Soul, Robert Brown. and of course Mark Lenard. Its IMDB listing shows plenty of Trek Guests wandering through 1875 Seattle - including Majel once.
