I was surprised to see Stanley Adams (good 'ol Cyrano Jones) in the episode "Lights, Camera, Mother" of My Mother, The Car. I guess he was making t.v. commercials before peddling tribbles in the future!
Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles
- Thread starter Maurice
- Start date
More vampire/Trek connections:
Reggie Nalder ("Journey to Babel") played the lead vampire in 'Salem's Lot and a Renfield-like character in Dracula's Dog.
And Charles Macaulay ("Wolf in the Fold," "Return of the Archons") also appeared in Blacula . . . as Count Dracula himself.
(Psst. I assume you also know of the sequel: Scream, Blacula, Scream. Can't remember if any other Trek guest-stars are in that one.)
I was in the mood for a noir crime movie, and I found one on ShoutFactoryTV called T-Men, a late-'40s "docudrama" about busting a counterfeiting ring. Alfred Ryder co-stars as one of the title Treasury agents, though he has a much smaller role than the lead actor. A young June Lockhart briefly appears as Ryder's wife.
Vampires and Trek:
Mariette Hartley ("All Our Yesterdays") played the female lead in The Return of Count Yorga. She wasn't actually a vampire in that one, but she did get bit by one. Does that count?
You forgot to mention that Roger Perry played the hero in both films too, Greg!

Sure, we can count it. I've never seen The Return of Count Yorga, but I can imagine she must have been tasty if she looked as good as she did in "All Our Yesterday's".Vampires and Trek:

Maybe David Soul can be added to the list. He also was in Salem's Lot, although he was a vampire killer. Btw, I had no idea David Soul was a Trek guest actor until the one time I saw his name in the closing credits of "The Apple". I looked it up and found out that he was the same David Soul as the one who played Hutch in Starsky & Hutch.

If you count David Soul as Ben Mears in Salem's Lot then you have to have Reggie Nalder as Mr.Barlow as well, Roundybout!!

I'll say they belong to Jeff Corey.
Ron Soble is also in The Cincinnati Kid.
Egad, what happened to him? By the time he played Jon in STV, he looked fifty years older, not twenty-five.
Maybe it was just good makeup, but wow.

Not just makeup - different actor.
J'onn was played by Rex Holman, who was Morgan Earp to Ron Soble's Wyatt. Take away Morgan's hat, hair and mustache, and he already looked a fair bit like J'onn.
