Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Jay Robinson as the host of an artsy-fartsy soiree on the Night Court episode "Christine's Friend" (that being Sela Ward being amazingly dazzling).
Watching Hogan's Heroes again for breakfast. Episode 1 (not counting the pilot) Features the exquisite visage of Arlene Martel, as the secret agent Tiger.
William Windom has a role in Frank Sinatra's The Detective. I had to chuckle when during Windom's taped confession, he says he's thirty-eight years old. He was forty-five at the time of filming and looked even older.
Hogan's Heroes, "The Prisoners' Prisoner" features Roger C. Carmel as a German general the boys capture, disguise as a prisoner, and gaslight for information.
in Hogan's Heroes, "Go Light on the Heavy Water," I was stonned to see Lawrence Montaigne as a German guard. 
Also stonned to see a German guard inexplicably carrying a Tommy gun.

Looks like the British Sten gun also had a forward grip, but that would be just another version of the same conundrum.
The Sten gun had no forward grip at all. One held it by the magazine or the cooling shroud. Also:

Okay, in the other cap we couldn't see much besides the grip, but that's pretty unambiguously a Thompson.
I remember seeing the episode back when Hogan's Heroes was still on the air, but I don't seem to have any recollection of Lawrence Montaigne being in it.
I didn't post the shot with the gun because Stonn's face isn't in it, but I capped it juuuust in case someone asked.
MST3K just uploaded that yesterday on their YouTube page. Is that where you're seeing them?
Yes. Love that show.
Let me guess: their characters were respectively snarky, snide, and died before the end.
Happened to have H&I on this morning, and the same Wonder Woman episode was on as last time I had H&I on on a Saturday morning 
. "Judgement from Space" featured Vic Perrin and Janet MacLachlan as the ghostly alien supervisors keeping watch over Tim O'Connor's Earthly visit.

This episode's Council of Alien Honchos reminds me of a similar deal in "Flight of the War Witch" with Julie Newmar and Michael Ansara.Happened to have H&I on this morning, and the same Wonder Woman episode was on as last time I had H&I on on a Saturday morning
In those days, you couldn't shoot a Council of Alien Honchos episode without calling in at least two Star Trek veterans. You respected your elders.
Incidentally, I never made the Janet MacLachlan connection in that Wonder Woman. Good mention.
The What's My Line YouTube channel was recommended to me and the first episode I found featured William Shatner as one of the panelists. He was promoting his new show, a legal courtroom drama 'For the People.' Jack Lemmon was the mystery guest.
John Hoyt as a real estate scammer who sells The Munsters 10 acres of desert ghost town - which they, of course, love - in "Herman's Happy Valley."
According to the imfdb, the production used fake thompsons as stand ins for just about every gun. To be fair, it was a comedy ….

my understanding is that you don't hold the magazine itself, because that can cause feeding issues, you hold the magazine wellThe Sten gun had no forward grip at all. One held it by the magazine or the cooling shroud. Also:

and the germans apparently made extensive use of captured equipment, and a behind-the-lines place like like a POW camp is a good place to send them to free up some of your normal logistics for the fighting men... production wise, they probably just didn't have enough mp40s to hand
