Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

[J.T.B.]

As a companion piece to my earlier post regarding Teri Garr - Here she is in a student film. According to the comments, after filming this, they went and saw 'A Hard Day's Night' by The Beatles; so this puts this sometime in late summer/early fall 1964.

That's great! The trademark narrowed eyes were there right from the beginning.

And BTW if anyone wants to watch 7½ hours of Teri Garr being one of the best talk show guests in TV history, here you go:

And if you wanna see young Terri Garr hanging out with my older cousins in my home town of Franklin Lakes, NJ, here she is (on the left) on the front stoop:

I was too young to stay up and watch Letterman, so I would check the listings to see who was on that night before setting the VCR.
I made it a point of recording whenever Teri made an appearance.
The two had such good chemistry and she never took any sh*t from him.

Since we're counting Ted Knight, he played a doctor on The Immortal episode "The Return," which I watched yesterday.

Was just flipping through channels and saw William Shatner (Sam Kirk in Operation: Annihilate) in an episode of How The West Was Won.

Side note: been reading a book about the late 1950's TV series Men Into Space, and am finding there were a metric crapload of Trek guest stars in those 38 episodes. Will try to post a list in the next couple of days.

They went into space and stayed there!

Lots of names familiar from other shows of the 1960s and '70s, as well. And not just the guest cast -- check the writers and production staff, too.

Check back in this thread. I probably posted a lot of those Men Into Space appearances.

Fair' nuff. There's a lot of them. Even noticed a writing credit from Fred Frieburger.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that MeTV is showing one of the William Shatner episodes of COLUMBO tonight.

Has this topic just become a "so and so is on this show right now" without any context like an episode name or the character being played? Because then it's just "I spy with my little eye..."

Yeah, I'd like to see screen grabs and episode titles and such too. I try my best. Sometimes I'm too lazy.

The finale episode of The Immortal featured James Sikking as the head of the orphanage where Ben grew up, and Michael Strong and Marj Dusay as a possible candidate for Ben's brother and his wife.

I've never really seen much of The Immortal series outside of the TV Movie and one episode I think but I always felt Michael Strong was miscast as Christopher George's long lost brother!
