Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

It's strange that Harry Townes and Jon Lormer appeared together so often! Star Trek of course but also in The Invaders and The Fugitive! :hugegrin:

Harry Townes as an amnesiac who hires Josh to find out who he is in the Wanted: Dead or Alive episode "Mental Lapse."
 
Jon Lormer in Creepshow (1982). His avenging undead self played by John Amplas.

Being unfamiliar with the majority of Paul Carr's career, it would be easy to assume that Buck Rogers is the only show where his character survived. Sort of like Sean Bean.
 
John Lormer introduces Candice Bergen and Steve McQueen in the 1966 20th Century Fox epic The Sand Pebbles.

Edit: Two Steve McQueens posted at almost the same time? A lattice of coincidence...
 
On Gunsmoke season one, 1955...

John Abbott in the title role "Professor Lute Bone."

Victor Perrin in "No Handcuffs."
 
Harry Townes pops up just a few episodes later in the Wanted D or A episode "Vendetta," as a psychotic Army captain who forges orders to kill the whole tribe of Kiowas responsible for his family's death.
 
"Gypsy fortune teller" Madlyn Rhu thinks Kolchak is crazy for thinking he's being stalked by a ghost in the Night Stalker episode "Firefall."
