I did not know that. Throw in obligatory reference to him being the doctor in the original BSG.
Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles
- Thread starter Maurice
- Start date
To me, George Murdock will always be "Scanlon, Internal Affairs" from Barney Miller.
He would have made a good captain or commodore on TOS, tho.... 
I have not had the chance to go over the last 20++ pages, so I do not remember if this has been mentioned, but Here Come the Brides should have the record for the number of Trek guests as regular cast members - Mark Lenard, Robert Brown and David Soul. I was reminded this, when turning on AntennaTv, where it is shown early Sunday morning, and the guest star was....Nilz Baris! I guess there are very few shows, however, that William Schallert missed guesting on in the 60s....70s....80s.....

I assume you're familiar with Ishmael by Barbara Hambly? It's a Star Trek novel that is pretty much an unofficial Trek/Here Comes the Brides crossover. Spock falls through time and finds himself back in frontier Seattle . . . . .
Guests, maybe. But T.J. Hooker's second season had William Shatner, Richard Herd (Admiral Paris), and James Darren (Vic Fontaine) as regulars -- although, admittedly, at the time only one of the three had done Trek.
Then there's Gargoyles, whose main cast included Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, and Salli Richardson (from DS9: "Second Sight") and whose recurring cast included Brent Spiner, Michael Dorn, Kate Mulgrew, Nichelle Nichols, etc.

It has some great stuff in it, although the references to Ceti Eels before they would have been known about was jarring. That's the problem, I guess, with trying to cram new information from new material into an established storyline with only superficial research.
Not a "guest" on Trek, but I just caught De Kelley in a Perry Mason the other night.
You presume to speak for everyone, huh? Maybe some gals or guys think he's the bees knees.
Yeah, bee's knees are all covered with pollen. Wait...
I just saw The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'s "The King of Diamonds Affair," which has four Trek guests: Ricardo Montalban, Nancy Kovack, John Winston, and George Sawaya. Interesting that Winston is in this one, since he was in both "Space Seed" and TWOK, the only non-main cast member to co-star with Montalban in both his Trek appearances.
Nancy Kovack, by the way, does The Worst English Accent I Have Ever Heard. It meanders freely between Prim English Governess and Scarlett O'Hara, with various unidentifiable stops along the way. The episode is full of dreadful English accents -- starting with a Mockney only Dick Van Dyke could love -- but Kovack can't even narrow it down to the right continent.

^It should be noted, though, that Montalban's character is wearing a fake mustache in-story in that scene.
