Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

After a season of 1-hour episodes, Twilight Zone returned to the 1/2 hour format for their 5th season, and knocked it out of the park with the beautifully written, utterly heartbreaking "The Long Morrow," starring Robert Lansing and Mariette Hartley.

I wasn't aware at first whom Rodney Allen Rippy was during the episode?
And even after seeing that he is getting on in age these days from his role as the young kid with the broken up bike, I still didn't know who he is??? :lol:

I just remember him as a cute kid who was popular for being popular. I think he got started in a commercial or something, then he'd pop up here and there, so audiences would go "Hey! There's Rodney Allen Rippy!"
 
I am 2 seasons into the 1960s Mission Impossible and it seems to be filled with actors who worked on Stsr Trek, or vis versa........so many in fact that i feel they were walking from one show to the other. Lol

Trek and M:I (and Mannix) were sister shows from the same studio and the same exec, Herb Solow. They had the same casting director too, I believe. So it's no surprise they shared a lot. They used a lot of the same backlot sets and locations, too. Surprisingly, though, the only composers they had in common were Gerald Fried and Jerry Fielding (although George Romanis did one episode each of M:I and ST:TNG).

After rewatching THE TOWERING INFERNO I noticed Paul Comi's name in the end credits. (Comi was Stiles in BALANCE OF TERROR.) I was unable to visually spot him in any of the crowd scenes, though his character is named ''Tim'' and is may likely be one of Steve McQueen's firemen.

Oh. I just rewatched that. It's still in the Blu-Ray player. I'm going to have to look again.
 
Just watched an episode of The Dick Powell Theatre - "Colossus."

William Shatner, Robert Brown, Frank Overton. and also Geraldine Brooks, who'd co-star with Shatner the following year in The Outer Limits - "Cold Hands, Warm Heart."
