Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

[1001001]

Okay, I thought it would be more fun/longer lived this way, and the OP is no longer around to ask.

Anyway, if it's really that important to you that it stay in TOS, I'll move it back.

Hold on.

 

[J.T.B.]

^Thanks. I think Maurice is working on a project.

 

[1001001]

No worries.

Glad to hear Maurice may just be taking a break.

Back on topic: Someone from my family just recognized Nichelle Nichols in a recent episode of The Young and the Restless. She is playing the old mother of one of the characters.

I like this thread, it's always fun to read. Since it began as a TOS thread, I'm glad it's staying one. But if no one has done so, a separate GTD thread for all the other series and movies would be a great idea.

79 pages later, Elisha Cook Jr. (Cogley in "Court Martial") must have set a record for appearing in vampire TV & movies--

• The Night Stalker (ABC, 1972) as Mickey Crawford in Carl Kolchak's debut.
  
• Blacula (AIP, 1972) as Sam the morgue attendant.
• Messiah of Evil (Bedford Entertainment, 1973) as Charlie.
  
• Dead of Night (DCP, 1977) as Karel in the segment, "No Such Thing as a Vampire."
• Salem's Lot (CBS, 1979) as Gordon "Weasel" Phillips.

Charles Macualey (Landru in "The Return of the Archons" and Jaris in "Wolf in the Fold") actually wore the vampire fangs in two roles--

• Blacula (AIP, 1972) as Count Dracula, who vampirizes William ("The Ultimate Computer") Marshall. As listed above, this film also co-starred Elisha ("Court Martial") Cook Jr.
• Rod Serling's Night Gallery (NBC, 1972) in the segment "The Funeral" as The Count.
• Finally, he was not a vampire in The Munsters' Revenge (NBC, 1981), but the TV spin-off sent him to the world of Al Lewis' blood-loving Grandpa Munster.

This is where i point out that both "The Night Stalker" and "The Funeral" were scripted by Richard Matheson, who also wrote "The Enemy Within" for TOS.

And while Cook may be the Trek guest-star with the most vampire movies on his resume, he's a piker compared to just about any Hammer movie regular.

Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee would have been great on TOS.

 

[Forbin]

I missed the moves! But my vote would be leave it here and keep it on track for just TOS guests.
Start to include guests of other Treks and, well, that people in the thousands, nothing special. TOS guests seem for like a cool little club.

That's true. The Hammer "company" of actors flowed through vampire movies like running water...

....no vampire deterrent pun intended!

The Mod Squad, season 2 finale, featured Diana Muldaur as a politician's gal Friday:

Totally unrelated to Trek, but the rest of the guest cast was interesting - Kieth Partridge as the kid in trouble and Mrs Cunningham as his mom.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Just randomly popped on the Decades Police Woman Binge for the first time today and got a Shat episode. Haven't caught him, but saw his name in the opening credits.

Soylent Green is a sled! Or something like that.
They needed a wise old matriarch type so, who else?

And conspiring over in the corner of the tent with the last tree in NYC, is Whit Bissel and Cloud Wil - er, Roy Jenson in their cool 2022 fashion hats. Poor Jenson is only ever onscreen like this, with only his lower face showing. Feh, it was a paycheck.

Also venturing into later Trek territory, Brock Peters was Heston's lieutenant.

Who is this? I don't recognize her.

 

[charliefox]

Who is this? I don't recognize her.

You don't recognise T'Pau?

 

[JonnyQuest037]

You don't recognise T'Pau?

Not like that, no.

 

[charliefox]

Not like that, no.

It's the same actress.
