Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles
- Thread starter Maurice
- Start date
Is it okay to post a main actor appearance here?
I had seen it before but the other day, I watched the episode of Tombstone Territory on Youtube where Leonard Nimoy plays Little Hawk in the episode called, "The Horse Thief."
"Hast du gesehen in deine Leben?!"
What Greg said - not which episode of Have Gun... Which Romulan commander?
As near as I can tell after a little research, it was Joanne Linville as"Maggie -waitress" in Have Gun Will Travel "Saturday Night", season 4 episode 5, 8 October 1960. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0597567/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_62
D'oh! Sorry - Joanne Linville.
Correct. Sorry for the confusion.
My wife is not a Star Trek fan. She will grudgingly go to the Star Trek films (and I think she might have actually liked Star Trek Beyond just a little teeny bit--only because I didn't get the usual grumbling and she seemed at least somewhat interested at times---well, plus who doesn't like Jayleh).
Anyway, she loved the show 7th Heaven and I loved heckling her that the two stars, Stephen Collins and Catherine Hicks, were each co-stars in two separate Star Trek films. I'd usually get an
Also, when she's watching a show that I see a former Star Trek star or guest star on I like calling them by their Star Trek name. "Hey, that's Enabran Tain from Deep Space Nine".
Yep marital bliss
You're lucky! Roll the eyes!!! That's nothing to what I used to get if I mentioned a thing about Star Trek to my wife! I would get a fit of moaning or swearing and words like sad or nerd or both together!!!

Did anyone ever mention Joanne Linville playing a therapist in the made for tv miniseries From the Dead of Night starring Lindsay Wagner in 1989?

Well, she did say after STID that if I ever took her to another Star Trek movie she'd leave me. So I took her to Beyond
. But all kidding aside I think she at least was more engaged with Beyond. I didn't get the usual grumbling after and she didn't really comment after I asked if she liked it (she'd never admit if she did like one).She'd probably actually like TVH at least a little bit if I could get her to sit and watch it.
Even my wife likes that one!!!

Wow! Sometimes you can't get your head past some actors being in something else before Trek and together!!!

I'm watching an episode of 'The Rookies' on the DecadesTV binge and there's Vic Tayback playing an ex-police officer turned criminal named 'Brakow', according to the dialogue and subtitles. That's a couple of letters off from 'Krako'. I wonder if the writers/director of the episode knew that Vic Tayback had appeared in Star Trek before being cast in the role. If not, it's one heck of a coincidence.

Probably a coincidence. Tayback's filmography also includes "Rocco" in a Monkees episode that predated "A Piece of the Action." Was Krako named for Rocco? I profoundly doubt it; it's just that both names fit our culture's stereotyped patterns for gangster or criminal names, and Tayback was often cast as bad guys. He also played "Lasko" in an obscure 1976 cop show called Bronk and "Thomas Velasco" in the pilot of Finder of Lost Loves 8 years later. In a long career, such accidents are bound to happen.
Vic Tayback was also a semi regular in some early episodes of The Streets of San Francisco!

last night flipping through channels came across a Starsky&Hutch .. and realised omg its the voodoo 2 parter which ends with them both being drugged by the Baron Samedi type voodoo priest and the last time I saw this mustve been early 80s 82/83 and had been wanting to see it again ever since .. so watched both eps.. only to have added surprise of Edith Keeler showing up !

Starsky & Hutch co-starred David Soul (Makora from "The Apple"), right?
