Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Not so much an actor but the Mugato costume, most likely worn by Janos Prohaska just showed up on the current episode of the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Decades binge.
 
A bit of an "Archons" preview: Jon Lormer and Harry Townes in The Fugitive, "Tug of War," 1964:

And Townes 20 years later in Magnum, P.I., "Murder 101," 1984:

Morgan Woodward is in the episode of The Incredible Hulk airing on MeTV tonight...playing a sympathetic character, no less.
 
While posting here about WALGMO, I saw the actor who played Roger Corby on a Planet of the Apes episode! Also on Time Tunnel, Kelso and Mr.Triskelion popped up in the same scene.

Michael Strong who I believe died way back in 1980! I think he had a really unusual real name in life so that's why he changed it to Michael Strong!

Whit Bissel popped up in the framing story of the 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Unfortunately my regular 60s TV show viewing is on hold for a while, since I finally got Netflix, and am sopping up their amazing original programming on weekends. Eventually I'll get back to Mod Squad and I Spy. Eventually.
 
Just watched Anthony Caruso in a WB short from 1945 called "Star In the Night". directed by Don Siegal. It was a bonus feature on the DVD of Christmas in Connecticut. (Yeah, my wife has begun to watch Christmas films)
