MeTV's playing a Gomer Pyle with Sherry Jackson as I type this.
Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

"There you go."
She showed up as the character a few times, IIRC.
Well, there's an actual reason to keep watching McCloud.
Yep she was recurring, though not in as many episodes as Ken Lynch or Diana Muldaur.
Episode of Columbo (Fade Into Murder) tonight featuring Walter Koenig (Billy Claiborne in Spectre of the Gun) and William Shatner (Sam Kirk in Operation: Annihilate). A very amusing scene where the witness to this week's murder describes Shatner's character as being shorter than Columbo and Koenig gets a very large grin on his face.
DeForest Kelly as a gunslinger out to find some money missing from a robbery on the current episode of 'Have Gun Will Travel'.
Edit to add - I just recognized who his partner is, a young Lee Van Cleef with hair.

An odd, coincidental pre-echo of Trek...MeTV is playing a 1962 episode of Rawhide titled "The Woman Trap".
Well, the term "man trap" existed long before Trek, to mean a trap used against humans instead of animals. There were several earlier TV episodes and movies with titles like "The Man Trap," "Man Trap," "Man-Trap," or "Mantrap" (that one being the title of a 1926 Sinclair Lewis novel as well) -- even "The Human Trap" on both Space Patrol and (oddly) Naked City. So it's hardly a coincidence for such a generic title to be reused or played on.

Indeed, "The Man Trap" was one of the titles in Roddenberry's original ST pitch document, but for a totally different story premise -- sort of like a nastier version of "Shore Leave" with the crew getting trapped by tempting illusions on a desert planet.
^ I knew this was coming.... 
"Hey, I know that kid!" Pamelyn Ferdin, a.k.a. Mary from "And the Children Shall Lead," is in the 1965 episode of Branded that H&I is showing as I write this.
Just watched the third and fourth episodes of the obscure 1962 series THE ELEVENTH HOUR.
In Make Me a Place, Frank Overton (Elias Sandoval - "This Side of Paradise") plays Barbara Rush's fiancé. And Grace Lee Whitney has a small part as a hateful fashion model. Besides Rush (The Outer Limits - "The Forms of Things Unknown"), there's also David Janssen (The Fugitive) and Susan Gordon (Twilight Zone - "Once Upon a Time").
In I Don't Belong in a White-Painted House, Michael Strong (Roger Korby - "What Are Little Girls Made Of?") plays a Russian agent who's causing some trouble for George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst. There's also John Anderson (great in ST:TNG "The Survivors").
Powerhouse casting on this show! I'm eager to see who else from STAR TREK will show up in other episodes.

I checked in IMDB, and Susan Gordon is the Susan Gordon from The Boy and the Pirates (1960) .
IMDB also says that her Twilight Zone episode is "The Fugitive" 9 March 1962, instead of "once upon a Time". https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0330629/?ref_=tt_cl_t2
