Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Yes of course, I forgot about them! Whit was Mr.Lueri from Trouble With Tribbles and Jim was Vic Fontaine from DS9! Not that I've seen all of the Deep Space Nine series just yet!

Did Captain Christopher mention that his dad flew with the 918th...?

Also, I never would have recognized her as the ensign who mans the helm and Spock's science station in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" without some help from IMDb and a quick look on Netflix:

(12 O'Clock High, "Cross-Hairs on Death," Mar. 21, 1966)
 
I've probably already posted the Get Smart appearances earlier in the thread (I like to rewatch the show often) - we watched Season 5's "Age Before Duty" the other day, featuring both Harry Basch and John Fiedler.
 
@The Old Mixer @JonnyQuest037 I found another instance of "roleshadowing".

From the Gunsmoke episode "Indian Scout" - DeForest Kelley (credited with an extra R in his first name) plays Will Bailey, a man whose brother is killed in an Indian ambush. He vows revenge, but is scalped by the ambush's lone survivor, the title scout, offscreen.

We see a small taste of the outbursts he'll later spew at Spock. In addition, there are "Bones" - when Marshal Matt Dillon visits Doc Adams to see Bailey's dead body, the doctor is taking notes while examining a skeleton. (Bailey's actually under a sheet in the next room.)
 
Kelley once said that he and Nimoy had done a western together before TOS. Kelley played a drunken doctor that let Nimoy's character die. I think he tells the story in Allan Asherman's Star Trek Interview Book.
 
I gotta get back to my Mod Squad and I Spy rewatches so I can find more Trek alumni. Been watching Netflix shows and 80s British shows lately.

Well you never know. I was surprised recently to recognize a Seinfeld actor on a 1975 Doctor Who!
 
Just saw a young pre-'To Kill A Mockingbird' Brock Peters acting opposite Harry Bellefonte in the movie 'Carmen Jones'.
Edit add - A quick look on IMDB shows that this was his first onscreen movie role.
