Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

[The Old Mixer]

I mentioned him, I just feel the need to make it clear when I'm bringing up non-TOS actors as an aside, because when I've done it without the clarification, people have felt the need to point out that I was bringing up non-TOS actors.

And while "TOS movies" is a convenient umbrella shorthand, "The Original Series" is a retroactive subtitle specifically applied to the '60s television series, to distinguish it from all the other Trek properties that have sprung up over the years. Each of the TOS movies is a separate production that already has its own subtitle, and most of them have Roman numerals as well. "The Original Series" was never made part of their already sufficiently distinguished titles.

Not in the actual clip. It looks like whoever posted that video altered the screencap to point Nimoy's ear.

I just watched Reverend Burgess Meredith join Rich Little and Emily Banks in holy matrimony (Love, American Style, "Love and the Hypnotist," Oct. 9, 1970).

I'm watching Cinematic Titanic's 'Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks' on Shout! Factory's MST3K Channel and there's Michael Dunn as the hunchback assistant.
IMDB says this was released in 1974-75 and Michael died in 1973, so this must be his final role.

Mission: Impossible, "Homecoming" (Oct. 10, 1970)

 

[Forbin]

Apollo the bank robber! Branded, "Yellow for Courage."
If you need somebody to rough up Chuck Connors, you need somebody almost as big as him.

Agamemnon! Odysseus! I'm coming!

The plot once again deals with a local bumpkin populace not believing in a vaccine (diptheria this time), and ridiculing the new British doctor ("A darn fool woman! And a foreigner to boot!").

Ted Cassidy/Lurch dancing is just too awesome. He is surprisingly nimble.

This is right up there with Leonard Nimoy singing about Bilbo Baggins. Was it the same variety show?

No, it wasn't; the Leonard Nimoy Bilbo Baggins thing was on a different series, the name of which escapes me now.

I had to look up Carl Byrd and Ken Lynch, JB. You are a memory machine.

Thanks, Henny! I watched that episode last night and just keep my eyes open for the faces and voices (Montaigne) that I know from Trek!
