Extras of TOS

I'm once again working on my project to catalog all the extras in Trek. I know there have been a few other attempts and one forum devoted to them, but I've lost my bookmarks. Can anyone help me find them?

Thanks!
 
After IMDb and Memory Alpha, there's the old Star Trek Guest Star Database. The site's owner posted a year or two back that he wanted to fix up some of the broken links and bring it more up to date, but I'm not sure if much has happened.

There was another site which got a mention here a few months ago, to do with trying to identify background extras in "The Alternative Factor"; unfortunately, I don't seem to have a URL for it.
 
Hey, Neopeius, I quite like what I see so far and it could become a very worthwhile resource. Also a bit different to the other ones available.

I think, it would be a good idea to present the data in the form of an Excel-sheet so one could rearrange the entries as required (episode, role name, actor/actress name, department etc.)

Not sure myself about the following ideas but just to think about:
° Include the timecode of first/last appearance in the episode.
° Rescale the photos to uniform size (one for portraits, one for full body shots).

Looking forward to your further work.
 
I've always noticed the extra whose head looks like a light bulb, the one who played the robot body in "Return to Tomorrow."

Someone here told me his name, but "lightbulb head" is much easier to remember.

All fine ideas. The first, I'll do once I've finished the 1st season. No point in double entry when I'm finding dupes all over the place.

As for the second and third suggestions, that's just too much work. :) Someone else can find my work lacking and be even more anal.
 
I finished 1x11 Miri. I haven't incorporated any dupe observations yet. I want to accumulate them first.
 
I've added Dagger of the Mind:

There used to be a site called "The Enterprise Crew" but it's since gone down. Are there any other comprehensive lists like mine?

That's my site and I still have all the files locally, I'll arrange something tonight.

Thanks so much! I knew it had to be out there. There are a few other, similar sites, too. I know there was one which was just a thread in a forum about the topic of extras in TOS.
