Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

[Forbin]

Picked a random western on Prime for lunch today. Five Card Stud (1968) Starred Dean Martin and Robert Mitchum in a rousing revenge story. A group of locals who lynched a cheater in a card game are picked off one by one by a mysterious stranger.
One of the group was Roy Jenson.
The town doctor was (of course) Whit Bissel.

Aaaand apparently some combo of my new Win 11 PC and the internet won't let me post an image. Just links from now on, I guess.

Without derailing this thread too much, I watched a video on YouTube the other day about Windows 11 and how you have to go into settings and disable all these start-up apps if you want your computer/laptop to run smoothly. Glad I'm sticking with Windows 10.

Thanks, I looked it up. In all the demos, the windows they pull up look NOTHING like mine. This always happens to me.

Roy Jensen turned up in another western this weekend - "Waterhole #3" (1967) starring James Coburn. A small part, but more lines than usual.

Ed McCready and Morgan Woodward in Fish, and episode of Police Woman. Both of whom were crew of the USS Exeter in The Omega Glory.
Ed McCready was Doctor Carter and Morgan Woodward the deranged Captain Ronald Tracey.

We wrote about the whole mythologized mess here.

Trek II Myths Rhue the Day

Oh, thanks for the link, your site is full of the kinds of trivia/mythbusting my brain enjoys and I'd not encountered this before now.

 

[flyerdog]

Didn't that also feature Colonel Klink?

side trivia note:

all three of the main German Soldiers: Klink, Schultz, and Burkhalter were played by Jewish Actors...John Banner only agreed to do the role if Schultz was portrayed as an incompetent buffoon.

Brock Peters and Walter Koeing on this evening's episode of The Virginian.
Question.
When did Koeing start wearing his toupee?
Because the rug he has on tonight's episode is arguably just as bad as some of Shatner's in the early seventies.

Ed Macready, Steve Inhat and David Hurst in The Astrologer, and episode of Mission impossible

John Abbot pops up again in the Munsters episode "A Visit From Johann," where Dr. Frankenstein's great-grandson shows up, having found an "earlier" version of his ancestor's creature and wanting to introduce "Johann" to Herman.

Just spotted Philip Pine (aka "Colonel Green") as a sinister theater usher in an old Superman episode: "The Case of the Talkative Dummy."

Is that first picture a split screen or another actor in duplicated makeup?

It's Fred Gwynne in a dual role, but looking at the scene on video and examining the photo more closely, I think "Johann" may have been matted/rotoscoped into the shot, since you can see sort of a faint white outline around his back. On the other hand, there does seem to be a faint lighting discontinuity in the middle suggesting a split screen, but if it is, it's an exceptionally seamless split screen by 1960s TV standards.

It would be a split. Unless the characters played by the same actor cross each other there’s no need for a matte.

As stated, they are played by the same actor. So it would have to be either a split screen or a rotoscope/matte shot. Watching the video on YouTube, I see no hint of discontinuity to suggest a split screen line, even though I do think I can see the image moving slightly in the frame as was typical of film, which would normally produce some slight wobbliness revealing a split screen line. Given that and given the hint of a faint white outline around "Johann," I lean toward rotoscoping. But it's hard to be sure, since the video resolution isn't HD and it's hard to tell whether the slight distortions around Johann as he moves are evidence of rotoscoping or just digital artifacts of the data compression.

 

[Forbin]

Oh, it's a simple split screen Standard for the day and the simplest answer.

Two eps later, "Herman the Tire Kicker" has our hapless sucker the victim of crooked used car dealer Frank Gorshin, who sells him a stolen car and gets him arrested. Later, Frank gets arrested himself for getting plastered on Herman's money, and sees Hermy in the police station.
