Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

Janos Prohaska and his gorilla costume are making an appearance on this morning's episode of 'Land of the Giants'.
It's probably easier to say what film or tv series did he and his gorilla costume not appear in in the '60s.
 
Malachi Throne and Marianna Hill seem to be the main guests on the 1969 episode of The High Chaparral that H&I is showing atm.
 
"Is it a good thing, Scotty?"
Michael J Pollard in a season 2 I Spy, "Trial by Treehouse."

Watching JFK reporting to superior officer James Gregory in PT 109 (1963). I'm disappointed that Cliff Robertson isn't doing the accent.
 
Oh, this is rich--George Takei did an uncredited cameo in PT 109...as the helmsman of the Japanese destroyer that rammed the boat!

Spock on the grassy knoll doesn't seem so far-fetched now, does it?

Also, a boat was hit, by a ship. In American naval parlance, at least, the two words aren't interchangeable. A destroyer would never be referred to as a boat.

Indeed, and some might say the only vessels at sea are boats and targets.

Well, uh... in the destroyer's frame of reference, it was standing still and the boat hit it! And the ocean moved backward underneath it! It's physics!! :o
 
Meanwhile, in the European Theater of 1963...you'll find Lawrence Montaigne way the heck below Steve McQueen and James Garner on the star-studded cast list of The Great Escape. Here he's staging a fight with Our Man James Coburn as a diversion:

Gary Lockwood on The Six Million Dollar Man tonight trying to frame Col. Austin for murder.

As I recall, Gary Lockwood started out on The Six Million Dollar Man playing a set of identical twin, high end international grifters. One of them was killed while going up against Steve Austin, and when the other tried to get revenge, he ended up getting killed, too. Was this part of that sequence?
