Barry Morse. Not sure what role but Anon 7 comes to mind. Or maybe the Gorshin role in "Last Battlefield", chasing his fugitive across the universe for centuries wouldn't have been much of a stretch. (And have David Jansen play the other part.)

Largely because he's incapable of giving a bad performance, Gary Oldman.

Peter Falk as the space detective K'lumbo

also, i once convinced my cousin that Barry Morse Day is a canadian national holiday

Ugh, I give up.

Maybe Jack Palance on TNG? He was doing TV-movies in the seventies, but maybe he was back doing feature films by the time TNG came around.

Palance would have made a great Klingon.

Jeremy Brett playing a certain detective in a holodeck program that Data would become fascinated with and have conversations about logic and deductions with.

^ Jeremy Brett would have been awesome!!

I would have like to have seen Henry Gibson get a role in TOS. A quirky character who I believe could have carried off more than comedy in those days, I certainly liked his voice.

And Robert Mitchum in any role he wanted

Oh my, how good would that have been? I'm not surprised he wasn't in it, but it would have been awesome if he had been.

I agree with Diana Rigg, but what about her old mucker Patrick Macnee? He was in Battlestar Galactica, so why not Trek?

You know, as I kid, I think I thought he did portray the pacifist leader in "Mirror, Mirror."

Is it just me, or is there a certain resemblance?

Christopher · March 9 2013, 02:58 AM

Hmm, a little resemblance in the face, but not the voice.

Greg Cox · March 9 2013, 03:06 AM

To be honest, I think I also got Liberace and Trelane confused . . . .

More than just a little resemblance, I'd say. Could they have been separated at birth?
