Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Two of the Enterprise's less-perfect crew members in The Virginian, "Gentle Tamers," 1968. No scenes together, unfortunately.

Decades is doing a Wild Wild West binge this weekend. Among many other Trek guests, yesterday I caught James Gregory as Pilot President Grant in the first episode, "The Night of the Inferno" (Sept. 17, 1965)--Early Installment Weirdness Alert!

ETA: "The Night of the Flying Pie Plate" (Oct. 21, 1966) has Leslie Parrish posing as an alien, wearing green face paint...it's like an early Trek hits mash-up!

You forgot to mention William Windom as the decoy villain in the same episode as Leslie Parrish.
 
I started watching the 1988 Superboy series on DVD this week, and I notice a couple of eps are written by Fred Freiberger.
This is a tough show to make it through. It's bad. But my love Stacey Haiduk's blue eyes is strong.
 
Julie Parrish gets a good grip on Franky Avalon in Fireball 500!

After suffering thru Fireball 500 I was going to tackle Thunder Alley, which is sort of a sequel, sort of. I couldn't handle it :lol: . In any case, Stanley Adams is in it.
 
Katherine Woodville graced an episode of Patrick McGoohan's Danger Man/Secret Agent titled "Colony 3," involving a Soviet spy school called The Village, which was in an isolated location that no one could escape from. Hmmmm...

MeTV just showed "The Way to Eden" followed immediately by "Buck's Duel to the Death." And I was stunned to see Skip Homeier (Dr. Sevrin) again on Buck Rogers. Surely they scheduled that on purpose. But those 11 years kicked the crap out him! He looked way older, and boy he's changed.

It wasn't Skip Homeier. It was Keith Andes (Akuta in "The Apple"). Big bald guy, same looks, same super-deep voice. Different guy. I didn't know until I looked it up!
 
Ansara on the Branded! episode "The Bounty." Like so many other villains in the 60s, he got his comeuppance in a randomly placed patch of quicksand. When I was a kid, I thought that stuff was going to be a bigger problem in my life than it turned out to be!
