Okay, that's what I thought, thanks.
Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles
- Thread starter Maurice
- Start date
Oh, and, I don't always notice writing credits, the The Immortal episode I watched yesterday, "White Horse, Steel Horse," was written by Gene Coon. It was almost a Kung Fu episode - Ben drifts thru a farm run by grouchy ol hippy-hater John Dehner just in time for a couple of disgruntled hippy workers to cause a fight that gets some one accidentally killed, and he of course gets co-blamed, locked up in the barn, breaks out, runs for it, almost gets killed, etc. It kills me when an "establishment" character calls someone a "long hair hippy FREAK!" and the actor is clearly in his late 30s, dressed perfectly normally in jeans and a windbreaker, and looks like he just had a haircut last week. It was also an episode typical of the period (1970), showing the 'grown-ups' as hung-up bigots who hated young people because they were ruining the country, screwed them over if possible, threatened them with guns for minor disagreements, and in the end learned that hippies were people too.
The same can be said about Friday and Gannon or Reed and Malloy when they come across hippies and the counterculture on their respective shows and get on their soapbox to moralize. It can be cringe inducing sometimes.
They'll miss a trick if they don't cast Quinto as Paris
James Gregory, John Fiedler and Edwin Rochelle in They Have Been, They Are, They Will Be, an episode of Kolchak:The Night Stalker!

Nimoy episode!
Just coming here to post that.
And now they've got James Darren on the show, playing a cop named...Jim Corrigan. 
The Leonard Nimoy episode is the only episode of TJ Hooker that I've seen I believe! That mass of black curly wig on top of Shatner's head has always put me off of the show!

Carl Byrd, Louie Elias in Fear Factor, an episode of Logan's Run! William Wellman also appears and as he has played an older Charlie X, do we count him...?

John Hoyt playing a country doctor on 'Have Gun Will Travel'.
As a companion piece to my earlier post regarding Teri Garr - Here she is in a student film. According to the comments, after filming this, they went and saw 'A Hard Day's Night' by The Beatles; so this puts this sometime in late summer/early fall 1964.
