Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

[CorporalCaptain]

Just found out that John Hoyt (Dr. Boyce) has an acting credit on Flesh Gordon (1974), and Bjo Trimble (yes, that Bjo Trimble) has a credit as a makeup artist on the same film.

Here's one.. Michael Ansara in the "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" movie, and later as a completely different character in an episode of the TV series, but both with Hispanic names.

Yikes! Looks like shooting ten or fifteen takes of that would send one to the eye doctor!

It seems that Roddenberry offered the role of Dr. Boyce to Malachai Throne.

70 pages in, so i'm not sure if anyone mentioned "The Encroachment," a 2/21/66 episode of Dr. Kildare, with Shatner & two then-future ST guest stars (Diana Muldaur & Bruce Hyde), but not necessarily surprising--

It's surprising it was in color.

RIP, Bruce Hyde.

Harry Basch (Dr. Brown in "What are Little Girls Made of?") as a crime boss in Mannix's "The Survivor Who Wasn't" (1974).

I had to wait for the credits to even notice, but that young lanky Texan with the thick cowboy accent in the Steve Canyon pilot episode (Sept 1958) is Morgan Woodward!

Morgan Woodward had a recurring role on Dallas in the '70s as Jock Ewing's friend Punk.

And I just saw Angelique Pettyjohn in a bit part as a model in the same Batman episode where Roger C. Carmel plays the villain.

I think I remember this guy from a couple of episodes, but as soon as I laid eyes on him, my eyeballs roasted and seared into their very sockets:

 

[Forbin]

Which guy?

 

[HIjol]

Which guy?

Corrected above...sorry about that, it worked fine at work.

Billed only as "Angelique," Miss Pettyjohn guested on a 2nd season episode of Get Smart

Watch where you're flipping that coin, max.

Change for a 20?

Saved Max's hash with a sap.

She's a MAN, baby!

GREAT disguise, Charlie!

It Takes a Thief, S2, "To Catch a Roaring Lion" - holy crap, Sulu is working with Wo Fat!!

Now about that "first interracial kiss" thing. This episode aired three weeks after "Plato's Stepchildren!" Lord knows what date it was filmed, before or after PS, but it almost counts as simultaneous in the Grand Scheme of Things. That's Denise Nicholas (remember Room 222?) getting smooched by Natalie Wood's fella.

Based on article previews at Variety, it looks like it was filmed in mid-October 1968 -- a few weeks after "Plato's Stepchildren."

Still -- it's an interesting find, and this kiss doesn't look like it's being forced by telepathic aliens!

 

[Forbin]

Definitely mutual, and definitely not "fudged" by turning away from the camera. And they both opened their mouths.

And I forgot the weekly Mannix report - it looks like Stanley Adams was a recurring character in the last season. He popped up again as the same low-rent private eye that Joe's been using for scutt work. He of course managed to take a small part and add enough business to make it fun.
