Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Is it okay to post a main actor appearance here?

I had seen it before but the other day, I watched the episode of Tombstone Territory on Youtube where Leonard Nimoy plays Little Hawk in the episode called, "The Horse Thief."

 

"Hast du gesehen in deine Leben?!"

 

As near as I can tell after a little research, it was Joanne Linville as"Maggie -waitress" in Have Gun Will Travel "Saturday Night", season 4 episode 5, 8 October 1960. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0597567/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_62

 

Romulan Commander in The Invaders (with Jim Phelps)

 

D'oh! Sorry - Joanne Linville.

 

Correct. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Lee Meriwether being all naturally lovely and stuff in F Troop, season 1, "O'Rourke vs. O'Reilly."

 

You're lucky! Roll the eyes!!! That's nothing to what I used to get if I mentioned a thing about Star Trek to my wife! I would get a fit of moaning or swearing and words like sad or nerd or both together!!!

We see Mr. Atoz (Ian Wolfe) moonlighting from his Librarian job, now working at the local Wax Museum in The Green Hornet (Alias the Scarf). He gets treated just as badly at the Museum as he did in the Library.

 

Did anyone ever mention Joanne Linville playing a therapist in the made for tv miniseries From the Dead of Night starring Lindsay Wagner in 1989?

Lindsay Wagner

 

Well, she did say after STID that if I ever took her to another Star Trek movie she'd leave me. So I took her to Beyond . But all kidding aside I think she at least was more engaged with Beyond. I didn't get the usual grumbling after and she didn't really comment after I asked if she liked it (she'd never admit if she did like one).

She'd probably actually like TVH at least a little bit if I could get her to sit and watch it.

 

Even my wife likes that one!!!

A fine pair of lawmen in The Virginian, "Showdown", 1965.

 

Wow! Sometimes you can't get your head past some actors being in something else before Trek and together!!!

I'm watching an episode of 'The Rookies' on the DecadesTV binge and there's Vic Tayback playing an ex-police officer turned criminal named 'Brakow', according to the dialogue and subtitles. That's a couple of letters off from 'Krako'. I wonder if the writers/director of the episode knew that Vic Tayback had appeared in Star Trek before being cast in the role. If not, it's one heck of a coincidence.

 

Probably a coincidence. Tayback's filmography also includes "Rocco" in a Monkees episode that predated "A Piece of the Action." Was Krako named for Rocco? I profoundly doubt it; it's just that both names fit our culture's stereotyped patterns for gangster or criminal names, and Tayback was often cast as bad guys. He also played "Lasko" in an obscure 1976 cop show called Bronk and "Thomas Velasco" in the pilot of Finder of Lost Loves 8 years later. In a long career, such accidents are bound to happen.

 

Vic Tayback was also a semi regular in some early episodes of The Streets of San Francisco!

last night flipping through channels came across a Starsky&Hutch .. and realised omg its the voodoo 2 parter which ends with them both being drugged by the Baron Samedi type voodoo priest and the last time I saw this mustve been early 80s 82/83 and had been wanting to see it again ever since .. so watched both eps.. only to have added surprise of Edith Keeler showing up !

 

Starsky & Hutch co-starred David Soul (Makora from "The Apple"), right?

 

Ian Wolfe has a memorable part in the 1948 noir They Live by Night:


Here he is as a priest in the '70s paranoia piece The Terminal Man:


Jason Wingreen was also in it.
