Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

- Start date
as sort of a "Bond girl" in the 1967 movie Gunn, a somewhat ill-conceived attempt to revive the "Peter Gunn" detective character.
Sherry Jackson was great in anything she appeared in!

Especially that costume she wore as Andrea!
Edit to add: Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry. It just slipped out.

I'm not sure if this connection has been mentioned in the 66+ pages of this thread.
As a youth (14-18) I was was a much more orthodox mainstream Mormon. We would have these youth activies where we would go to the temple and do baptisms for the dead*. While waiting they would usually put a movie on for us to watch. That movie was always Johnny Lingo staring Makee K. Blaisdell. It wasn't until years later, and I had my own recordings of Star Trek episodes, that I realized something. In addition to marrying the undesirable Mahana (and paying eight cows for her no less), Johnny Lingo occassionally operated the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
*It sounds more bizarre than it actually is.

Well I'll be damned. I know what you are talking about, and I saw that movie (saw it as a filmstrip, too!). It was kind of a cultural touchstone where I grew up. But I never knew till this day that Mr. Singh was Johnny Lingo, nor that Makee Blaisdell was in two OS episodes. Thanks for the info.
Star Trek credited him as Blaisdell Makee rather than Makee Blaisdell. This may have happened more than once.
Madlyn Rhue was on a 1974 Johnny Carson rerun last weekend. She was doing fine, though she seemed nervous, but her segment went off the rails because of a fly buzzing around the set. Johnny became distracted, then a flyswatter came out, and Carl Reiner and David Brenner were on the panel so of course they had to get in on it. Rhue wasn't plugging anything, the only thing mentioned in her intro was that she had been in "Bracken's World." She said her good friend Suzanne Pleshette had come with her and was backstage.
Rhue was followed by 90 year old Burt Mustin, who told of seeing the first World Series in 1903. So Carl Reiner was the second oldest on that panel, but has outlived all the others. You never know.

Just caught Gary Lockwood on "Twelve O'Clock High". Great show.
This may have been mentioned upthread in days of yore, but the first-season Incredible Hulk episode "The Hulk Breaks Las Vegas" has a "Galileo Seven" twofer. From the MeTV thread:
[...] now we have LOTG's Don Marshall ( the groundbreaking Dan Erikson on the Irwin Allen series) in the first of three TIH appearances, this time portraying mob thug Lee, when most of his career saw him playing good guys.
John Crawford (Edler) does his best to play completely sleazy, and he was successful, without resorting to the mob stereotypes that--by 1978--had moved from Edward G. Robinson / Neville Brand caricatures to James Caan or Marlon Brando knock offs.
While on the subject of Marshall and Crawford, their appearance in this episode--
--provided Star Trek fans a small reunion of guest stars from "The Galileo Seven"--
Just watched Canon City on Turner Classic Movies, a "true crime" B-movie about a 1947 prison break in Colorado. Featured Jeff Corey (Plasus - Cloud Minders), Whit Bissell (Lurry - Trouble with Tribbles) and DeForest Kelley. Alas, Kelley is almost a walk on. He is one of the bad guys in solitary confinement who makes the escape, but his time "outside" is not shown, nor is his capture.. He is visible in the background of a few shots if you don't blink, but otherwise only gets one closeup, a mug shot, and what seems to be one line of dialog (delivered off camera!).
I was disappointed that I didn't see more of De, but otherwise it was a very entertaining B picture.

Has anyone mentioned Morgan Woodward's appearance as a member of the council of elders in the TV Logan's Run? He was in an episode that also included Spencer Milligan from Land of the Lost, Lance LeGault (later of Battlestar Galactica), and Nicholas Hammond (who would become the first live-action Peter Parker).
Lance LeGault was also Captain K'Temoc in TNG: "The Emissary."
But is "Canon City" canon?
I didn't know that. What do you know - The A-Team's Col. Decker was on Star Trek!
The game shouldn't be 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon', it should be 'Six Degrees of Star Trek'!
Let's see...Henry Kissinger's on my TV screen right now.
1) Served under Nixon;
2) Nixon met Elvis;
3) Yvonne Craig was in an Elvis movie;
4) Yvonne Craig guest-starred on Trek.

The episode was called The Judas Goat and is a favourite of mine! Loved that show and just wish it had carried on for a full season at least!
