Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

No the episode is the 1963 edition! Harry Guardino's character is the bad guy and swops minds with Gary Merrill's nice guy! Guardino keeps seeing the image of a man he let die years earlier out in the snow and he is haunting him as such as no one else can see him! When they swop minds, Merrill can see the ghost instead! In production photos the creature is like a Yeti covered in frosty mush and with glowing white/yellow eyes but in the recorded episode it is a man covered in said icy mush with a blank stare, he might have had a helmet too I can't recall exactly but nothing like the monster they advertised!

It was supposed to be the ghost of a soldier that fell into a crevasse and froze to death. Either way works, I guess.

 

The Outer Limits ep "One Hundred Days of the Dragon" features Phillip Pine as the vice president.

 

I have the official "Outer Limits" companion and I can confirm that there was a sculpture made of "Chill Charlie" but he didn't photograph well under the studio lights so they used an actor with make-up instead.

"Chill Charlie" did show up in several pictures used to promote the "Outer Limits" first season.

"Chill Charlie" wasn't even supposed to be in the episode, but the network insisted on a "Bear", so the script had to be (re) written to accommodate the hallucinations.

Of note, the book says that this episode marks Sally Kellerman's first television role. Joseph Stefano had seen Kellerman onstage at a local theater and approached her after the show and said to her that if he ever became a producer and got his own tv show, Sally would be the first person he would cast. When it came time to film the episode, true to his word, Stefano cast Kellerman in the role. He named Sally's character "Ingrid" after Ingrid Bergman in a nod to Hitchcock. Based on this episode, Sally was immediately signed to The William Morris Agency.

 

The OL episode "The Architects of Fear" has no immediately obvious Trek actors in it, but the credits reveal Janos Prohaska (who has literally played a bear!) as the man-made alien,

The frozen ghost spectre looked way more fearsome than the simple iced soldier that we did get! The story was more about the mind transference between Harry Guardino and Gary Merrill, oh, and a bag of sunflower seeds!

Yes, he's the "Control Voice" narrating the whole series.

 

Two pre Trek stars in an episode of Perry Mason 1963, Antoinette Bower/"Sylvia" and Frank Overton/"Elias Sandoval"

 

Just saw Harry Mudd in an old episode of High Chaparral (Season 4 Episode 14 The New Lion of Sonora)
Here's a 6 minute clip ...

 

Have Gun - Will Travel, "Squatters' Rights" features Warren Stevens as the rancher who wants to kill a squatter on his land, Hal Needham (again) as one of his flunkies, and Natalie Norwick as the squatter's wife.




That's an 1847 .44 Colt Walker Dragoon Warren has there. I bought one out of curiosity after I saw The Outlaw Josie Wales (Kim Darby also has one in True Grit). Freakin' thing weighs five pounds! Here's what one looks like shooting at night with a 35 grain black powder charge:

 

One of Clint's screen matched blank firing prop Walkers went up for sale in 2020, sold for $90,625.
If you notice in the movie/promo photos, sometimes he has a black powder nipple cylinder, other times he has the conversion to blank cartridges prop. (p.s. I own a Cimarron Arms "Man With No Name" .38 1851 Colt Navy conversion with snake grips like he had in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" of course not as heavy as the Walker but still a heavy front foward pistol)

A special Mannix triple feature. "Run, Sheep, Run" 1967 stars Malachi Throne and John Abbot, And a first I've found, an audio sound. The exact same beeep, beeep tone used to signal a closed communicator was used as a mobile car telephone tone!

 

Have Gun - Will Schallert... The inestimable Mr Schallert was featured in "Justice in Hell," as the least objectionable and most erudite citizen of a frontier town which gives sanctuary to wanted men.

 

And speaking of the utterly ubiquitous Bill Schalert, I randomly watched the 1956 Lone Ranger feature film today, and there he was as a minor government functionary, along with Michael Ansara as "Angry Horse," Perry Lopez as a young rancher, and heck, even Beverly Washburn as a young girl!

Yes, yes, forked tongue.

 

I'm shamed to say I never made this connection - Michael Pataki, the Klingon who started the fight in Tribbles, was a regular in the second half of the Get Christie Love series, as Christie's goofy comic-relief partner. It was just such a different character I completely failed to see it.

 

He was the lunatic Count Myron Mallachi in Happy Days too in Fonzie Loves Pinky three part episode!
