Marc Alaimo appeared in quite a few Hulk episodes along with Don Marshall and Gerald McRaney who sadly never appeared in TOS or any other Trek at all!

Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Get Smart, season 5, "Witness for the Execution." William Schallert as a somewhat hapless assassin.
I've always loved Max's little Opel GT. It's like a min-'Vette.
These shots feature two Star Trek guest stars: William Schallert and the Danish-made Madsen M50 submachine gun used by Roman police in "Bread and Circuses."
I assume it was a rental prop, there were only so many of them in circulation, and the exact one seen could have been on both shows.
Wow, good eye!
The thing about Dierkop was that he had nothing to hide!

Charlie Brill, who played Arne Darvin, performed a comedy sketch with his wife Mitzi McCall on the February 9, 1964, episode of The Ed Sullivan Show.
I saw their skit on a Best of the Ed Sullivan Show that included various acts from that historic night, but didn't realize who he was until I looked it up just now, when I caught the duo on the Season 2 premiere of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In...the one with perhaps the most iconic moment in the series:

A great radio show about that night with McCall & Brill recounting their experience:

I forgot about Frank Gorshin also being on that night...a TOS two-fer...and an overall Trek three-fer with Georgia Brown. All that, plus Davy Jones, the inspiration for Chekov.
Of course, when I see Gorshin, the first thing I think of is Batman.

My memory of William Schallert don't go that far back.
But I do recall that Schallert starred in a couple shows that were geared for a teenage girl audience. He played the father/grandfather figure.
He played Nancy Drew's father in the Nancy Drew Mysteries.
Schallert was also in a show called The New Gidget. I don't know if he was in the old Gidget or not. I remember my friend's sister watched this show.
^^^^
Don't know about Gidget, but he was the father in The Patty Duke Show.
Also saw him recently in an episode of The Partridge Family as a folk singer with really bad stage fright.
Hell, at this point I think Schallert could almost have his own thread. He was all over the place from the 60's on forward. He even showed up in an episode of DS9.

Having first become aware of William Schallert as the cold, prickly, antagonistic Nilz Baris in "The Trouble with Tribbles," it was surprising to realize later in life that he was playing very much against his usual type in that role.
I think I may have seen him in some other stuff before Tribbles, but I agree Baris was very much against type for him. In virtually everything else I've seen him in his is very much the quintessential sitcom father figure/nice guy.
Similarly (and also involving a "Tribbles" guest), I was surprised when I recently rewatched the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of I Was a Teenage Werewolf and saw good old Whit Bissell, the quintessential gruffly endearing authority figure, as the film's heartless mad-scientist villain.
Or, as it was known back then, a Coke machine.

Far be it from me to disrespect my elders!
Charge TV has recently begun airing Danger Man and I'm watching an episode with William Marshall as an African Dictator/General.
I didn't know he did work 'across the pond' as it were.

He did a couple of Danger Man episodes and he played two different characters both with Edric O'Connor as his aide!

He's a bad guy in The Man from Planet X (1951).
