So I have the TV on but I'm not really watching it, it segued from Twilight Zone to Perry Mason a while ago. I look up and I see an older woman in the witness chair...and I think "I know her, who is that?", then I realize she played The Keeper in The Cage. Mind you, the only times I've EVER seen her face, it had a throbbing latex prosthesis around it - and yet I was able to recognize Meg Wylie playing a woman her own age.
Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles
- Thread starter Maurice
- Start date
I'm pretty sure Malachi Throne doubled up as the professor and submarine commander in Jonny Quest's "Arctic Splashdown"
Wylie was born in 1917. In the sixties she often played characters somewhat older than she actually was.
Is the character credited as The Keeper? The other Talosians address them as "Magistrate".
Spock referred to her/him as the Keeper too

Not sure if this counts, but there's an episode of The Shannara Chronicles series where characters have found a copy of TMP and are watching it so we see a scene from that movie where Kirk and Spock are talking. It's not really William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy acting in the show, but we do see them.
