    You should make it clear, any more errors and this keyboard of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder.

    Digging this up because I just had a similar experience in a completely non-Trek related context...watching the 1948 Humphrey Bogart film Key Largo. In it, Lionel Barrymore's character talks about his son George. This is not a full two years after It's a Wonderful Life, with which I'm much more familiar, so it tickles the same spot in my brain to hear him saying the name exactly the same as when he was addressing Jimmy Stewart, but in a different context.

    The way I see it is...if somebody played you an audio clip of late-'60s Nimoy saying the name "Jim" and asked you where it was from, what would your first guess be? Likewise, if somebody played you an an audio clip of late-'40s Lionel Barrymore saying "George"?

    "Farewell My Lovely" starring Robert Mitchum, 1975. They needed an annoying police commissioner for one scene, so they got Logan Ramsey.

    This week's 50th anniversary Ironside ("Warrior's Return," Mar. 5, 1970) had me going that De Kelley dunnit, given the combination of his having a prominent special guest star billing at the beginning of the episode and yet only appearing in one scene in the first three acts (with Barbara Anderson questioning him, no less). De was playing a jewelry salesman who was one of a handful of suspects in his store's burglary; the chief suspect was engraver Ned Romero. (The owner dunnit, for the insurance.) De's character smoothly used the opportunity to try to sell Eve a ring!

    So I'm watching "Cry of the Werewolf" (1945) on Svengoolie, and who should pop up but John Abbott ("Errand of Mercy") as a museum guide who is driven mad by the sight of a werewolf.

    And Abbott is on the 1959 episode of Peter Gunn that Me is airing as I type this, as a scientist who just blew up a factory for some reason.

    I was watching an episode of the 60s Batman show and saw Joan Collins as the villainess Siren - she could hypnotize men via a high pitched noise that drove my cat bonkers, lol.

    Paul Fix and John Hoyt both appeared in Battlestar Galactica but sadly not the same episode! Hoyt in Baltar's Escape and Fix in Take The Celestra!

    The Rifleman episode appears to be "Three Legged Terror" (1959).

    Saw an Odd Couple last night (The Dog Story", season 5) with RedJack as the owner of a Lassie-like acting collie who's really mean to his dog. Felix makes him break down and admit he always want to be an actor, sucked at it, and is taking it out on the dog.

    John Fiedler was in a lot of things (as many people were back then) - he had such a distinctive face and voice! The only series in which I remember him being a regular, though, was a Dabney Coleman project called "Buffalo Bill". It didn't last long.
