Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Got the complete boxed set of Rawhide last week. Episode 3 features William Schallert as a stagecoach passenger who sells ladies undergarments.
 
Apollo! Michael Forest as a very tall, very brown Pacific Islander visiting Gilligan's Island! (S3's "Slave Girl")

Caught the tail end of a movie called Grave of the Vampire on Comet TV and Michael Pataki (Korax) played the vampire in question facing off against vampire hunter William Smith.
 
Falconetti? Falconetti? Or as most people who watched Rich Man, Poor Man back in the seventies said...Falcon Eddie! :lol:

Here's a Trek actor somewhere I wasn't expecting it -- watching the Marx Brothers' 1946 film A Night in Casablanca, I thought the male romantic lead seemed familiar, so I checked the DVD case and realized it was a young Charles Drake, Commodore Stocker from "The Deadly Years." (The only other Trek connection I'm aware of in a Marx Brothers movie was in Room Service, which co-starred Lucille Ball and was produced by RKO, the studio that Ball and Desi Arnaz later purchased and renamed Desilu.)
 
Spock and D'Amato both in the Perry Mason episode "The Case of The Shoplifter's Shoe".

Spockdunnit. Very un-Spock-like. LOL.
 
Same show, "The Case of the Dead Ringer", Arlene Martel (T'Pring") as a witness in Mason's case, a secretary. Didn't recognize her until I saw her name in the credits.
 
Mother Lovsky!
Or, Mother Superior jumped the phaser...
Celia Lovsy as the head of a convent in the 3rd to the last It Takes a Thief ep, The Suzie Simone Caper.

Only a few eps of It Takes a Thief left in my rewatch. Logan Ramsay popped up as a weasly general in a 3rd world monarchy where Al and his father had to smuggle the princess out before a coup.
 
I was at the library looking for movies to check out and I picked up THX1138, glanced at the credits and there was Ian Wolfe's name listed on the box.
I'd completely forgot he was one of the prisoners along with Robert Duvall and Donald Pleasence kept in the all-white featureless room.
 
Rex Holman, Ed McCready and John Arndt all appeared in the Streets of San Francisco episode The Thirty Year Pin!

The digital sub-channel GETTV is showing THE LIEUTENANT on Saturday mornings, and I have been putting it on the DVR - and its fun to watch. It's pretty good, and it's fun watching for the various Trek people that show up - both in front and behind the camera. There was one where Michael Pataki shows up, and last week was a show with Madlyn Rhue that was directed by Michael O'Herilhy and the teleplay was by some guy named 'Robert Wesley' ;) - wonder why GR didn't use his real name?

When you say Michael Pataki showed up, do you mean he kind of just walked onto the set when the actors were sort of acting? :lol:

William Windom as a different sort of ship captain, Magnum, P.I. S6, "All Thieves On Deck," 1986.
