Have you ever been surprised to see a Trek actor in something else?

Re: Have you ever been surprised to see a Trek actor in something else

Wow, I used to have MTV on 24 hours a day when I was a teenager, and I do remember this song, but not the video. I certainly would have remembered it for Nimoy's appearance, if nothing else. Of course, I was more of a Go-Go's fan.

I only discovered recently the gorgeous Marianna Hill (well known to TOS fans as Dr. Noel in Dagger of the Mind) played Fredo's drunk wife at the party in Godfather 2.

Spot on, Timewalker. I meant it in the sense of you didn't know they were in a movie/tv show you were watching, and then suddenly you spot a familiar Trek actor and say "Hey, it's that guy/gal!"
