Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Mission Impossible continues to be the most reliable place to find Trek actors. On the 1-28-67 episode:

We finally get to see David Opatoshu's real hairline!

And Michael Strong displays incredible smarm along with a Boris Badinov accent...

No wonder. Sister productions, same studio, same period, same casting director (Joseph D'Agosta). I expect the same is true of Mannix.


With bonus: beardy Carroll O'Connor.

Whom I totally failed to recognize when I first saw this one, since he was so completely unlike Archie Bunker. He was the high point of the episode.
 
Those clouds look like the Talos IV/Delta Vega cyclorama. Perhaps not. Clouds are clouds. I should stifle myself.
 
I imagine there'd be even more synchronicity of Trek/M:I guests if one watched the two shows in production order sync.
 
Stanley Adams (and Vito Scotti) as Russian diplomats determined to meet a normal American family they picked at random out of the phone book, in The Addams Family (no relation) episode "The Addams Family Meet the V.I.Ps"

I remember that episode well. We miss The Addams Family although The Monkees kind of scratches that itch now (February 1967).
 
Mickie Morton looked nothing like I expected him to in the episode! Just a big lunk in a suit! No thick anthropoidic hair, gooey eyes or drool at all like Kloog in Gamesters of Triskellion! And in Starsky & Hutch he played Moon!
