Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Michael Richards was never a middle-aged man without a clue.

Which 1960s TV show hippie episode did he write?
 
Speaking of names and their rarity, I've long found it interesting that I've pretty much ever heard of anyone named Shatner, Nimoy, or Doohan outside of the Trek actors and their immediate families. I've maybe seen a Schattner once, but that's about it. I can't recall ever seeing another Takei either, even though I watch a lot of Japanese movies and TV shows.
I've seen Doohan in other places.....
 
I got The Name of the Game on DVD recently (turned out to be a poor quality rip from a TV broadcast, but what the hell, it was a show I liked and it's not available otherwise). Episode 2 features the lovely Antoinette Bower, with Barry Atwater as a local rural sheriff, and Gene Dynarski as a lithium min - err, general store proprietor.
 
It might be in the 91 pages of this thread, but it's new to me - on Emergency! today on COZI tv, episode entitled, "Surprise!", Celia Lovsky as an elderly woman with a broken hip trapped in an apartment house filled with gas. ST BONUS: episode was (very well) directed by Joe Pevney!

This one was FULL of Classic TV faces: Ann Morgan (Millie Halper) Guilbert, Herb Voland, who was General Clayton on more than a few episodes of M*A*S*H, Dub Taylor (who was a staple on Bonanza, and a million other westerns), the old Vikings QB Joe Kapp, and best of all, Aneta (Helen Crump) Corset...:luvlove:

By the way, COZI is back to its midday one-two punch of Adam-12 and Emergercy!...

Just looked on IMDB, and Bill Quinn, who was McCoy's father in ST V, was in it, as was Anne Schedeen, who was the wife/mother on ALF ...wow
 
Watched a 12 O'Clock High the other night that featured Gary Lockwood and Nancy Kovack as the top-billed guest stars, in addition to regular stars Robert Lansing and Frank Overton.
 
Caught an Odd Couple the other day with Redjack as an overefficious, overzealous landlord in a high-security apartment.
 
John Fiedler was also in the original 1968 Odd Couple film.

Fiedler was also the morgue attendant, Gordy Spangler, in three episodes of Kolchak:The Night Stalker, The Zombie, They Have Been, They Are, They Will Be (used to be called UFO I believe) and The Youth Killer!

And in the TV show a couple of times, though not in the same role.
Fiedler was also Vinnie in the original Broadway cast, with Water Matthau as Oscar and Art Carney as Felix.

Next episode, Gary Lockwood as a creepy serial killer:

(Couldn't resist!)

OT, one of his potential victims was Captain Esteban from ST3:

Lockwood. Nice. Sort of stares back at you when shaving. The animation caught me by surprise: I noticed it peripherally as I was scanning down the post. Unsettling.
