Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Yes, it is.

 

But you spelled it "Tigh."

 

Yes I did.

Oops.

 

Been watching NuBSG lately?

 

There was a Tigh in old BSG too...

 

That's probably where my brain cross-circuited from, yeah. Oh well.

 

In yet another of those wild little cosmic coincidences I love, the Mannix I watched just now ("A Gathering of Ghosts") also featured Marj Dusay!



...and in yet another twofer, we also got Diana Muldaur in the same ep:


Is it just me, or does Mike Connors look like William Campbell in that first pic?

 

^ Nah, I'm getting a kind of Dean Martin or Chris Noth-ish vibe from that one.

 

Can we count TAS guests? TCM just showed Robert Altman's 1967 space-race film Countdown, which starred Robert Duvall and James Caan, but whose cast also includes Steve Ihnat (Garth of Izar) and Ted Knight (voice of Carter Winston, "The Survivor"). The Voyage Home's Leonard Rosenman did the music.

 

To me, it's more like Nathan Fillion in that scene....

 

This week's Mannix ep (season 4, "A Day Filled with Shadows") turned up a stray Klingon.

 

Is that before or after he hijacked Reed and Malloy?

 

Just spotted Susan Oliver in an Andy Griffith Show episode...from 1964...locked up in a cell, no less!

 

More recently, I was surprised when George Takei showed up on LOST GIRL earlier this week!

 

I remember George Takei in a two part SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN episode, where they went looking for the crashed plane of Steve Austin's real father.

 

It HAS to p**s Shatner off that a lot of kids now know who Takei is from all his memes and stuff online, plus Stern, plus a lot of stuff- and don't know him!

 

That was only a one-parter -- "The Coward," the second-last episode of season 1. But it was loaded with Trek guests, also featuring France Nuyen (“Elaan of Troyius”), Ron Soble (“Spectre of the Gun”), and stuntman/actor Robert Herron (“Charlie X,” “The Savage Curtain”).

 

Why would Shatner be pissed off?
