Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

[The Old Mixer]

Just caught Carr in an episode of The Incredible Hulk a few days ago ("Equinox," the episode most memorable for having the confrontation between McGee and "John Doe" while David was wearing a mask). Carr was the bad guy, so of course he didn't die, because Ferrigno's Hulk was a big, cuddly teddy bear. He literally got tossed onto a canopy bed...and then the Hulk made the bed collapse. That's it.

This morning's episode of Tarzan on Heroes & Icons channel featured a mustachioed Michael Ansara as the villain. And I think I saw Don Marshall in one shot, but I only had the TV on during breakfast for company, and turned it off when I was done.

A couple from The Rockford Files:

Jason Evers with a young Tom Selleck in "White on White and Nearly Perfect," 1978:

Byron Morrow again as uniformed boss, this time a LAPD deputy chief, in "Kill the Messenger," 1978:

They've got TOS actors up the wazoo on Tarzan.

Just watching one of the Christmas episodes of Adam-12, 3x11, "Pilgrimage"...Stanley Adams plays a guy who mugged a street-corner Santa.

Love the shirt......

Mod Squad, season 3. Paul Carr as a dastardly sky diver!

For reasons surpassing reason, we picked up the 1979 miniseries "Salem's Lot" on BluRay for our New Year's Eve movie night. Even stranger, this led to a David Soul festival, since Cozi TV was running a Starsky & Hutch marathon all that day.

So anyhoo, besides Soul (The Apple), we also had Trek alumni Elisha Cook (Sam Cogly in Court Marshall) as the town drunk, and Julie Cobb (a yoeman in By Any Other Name) as town trampoline "Boom Boom."

Don't forget Reggie Nalder who played the blue-skinned vampire in SALEM'S LOT--many years after playing the Andorian ambassador in "Journey to Babel."

And speaking of Nalder . . by coincidence, I was watching the 1956 Hitchcock movie, THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, last night. And who pops up as a sinister foreign assassin? Reggie Nalder.

2 for one on the episode of the Fugitive I'm currently watching - James Doohan as the attending physician and Sarah Marshall as the suspect.

Just watched it. Some shots:

And Paul Comi was also there:

OMG, I missed that! I didn't (couldn't) recognize him!

Also, I forgot to mention Elisha Cook's character's name was "Weasel"

 

[johnnybear]

Reggie Nalder's Mr.Barlow was terrifying indeed! But let us not forget that the poor man's facial disfigurement is what made him famous for his monster and alien roles in television!

OMG, I missed that! I didn't (couldn't) recognize him!

Under the circumstances, perfectly reasonable!

Just had Tarzan on during breakfast on the Heroes & Icons channel. Season 2, episode 21, "Jungle Ransom." Barbara Bouchet was looking quite fetching in a little jungle explorer outfit with miniskirt, and Ted Cassidy was looking a bit ridiculous made up as Fernando Lamas' swarthy Spanish mercenary muscle - they gave him eyebrows that looked like chunks of electrical tape. He may have had less makeup on as Ruk.

Had that on in the background, and I concur!

Mod Squad season 3, "Search and Destroy". LORD Garth when he was just a captain visits our favorite discount Klingon.

 

[The Old Mixer]

That's the nice thing about Mod Squad...anytime another TOS guest shows up, it's always a twofer.

Nalder also turns up in the classic brainwashing scenes in The Manchurian Candidate.

Whit Bissel, Leslie Parrish and James Gregory also turn up in the picture.

On Wednesday I watched a 1959 Gunsmoke with a young Madlyn Rhue. I went to get a screen grab yesterday, and no more Gunsmoke on Starz. Blast!

I don't think it would come as a great surprise that the 'Mission: Impossible' binge this weekend has had a lot of familiar TOS actors/actresses appearing. I just happened to catch a young Paul Winfield as a prisoner in the last episode I watched.
