This story idea has a great deal of merit!
Given the years (1966-69), it would have been Patrick Troughton. Looking back, I'd have been for it!

Scotty and Jamie talking to each other in Gaelic, confusing everyone else....
A.V.I.A.F.
Captain
Merit, indeed! That would have been a great story. Why doesn't someone write it? Would make a pretty decent novel too!
Nah, Jamie would listen to Scotty and then ask what part of Scotland he is supposed to be from.
What about the member CHRISTOPHER, his profile says he is a working writer; does anyone know how to PM this post to him, and get his opinion on this?
^Sorry, the fact that I've read the idea in this thread means that I can't use it. Pro writers can't use unsolicited story ideas -- it puts us and our publishers at too much risk of lawsuits.
Besides, how can a novel character be played by Martin Landau?

Only if he's cast in the audiobook version.
Scotty has a Highlander accent -- Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Avenue, that is.Nah, Jamie would listen to Scotty and then ask what part of Scotland he is supposed to be from.
I don't know about a Captain, but I could see him as an excentric type of character, like Trelayne, Mudd or Cyrano Jones...
Or Don Adams as a Captain of a smaller vessel, like the Antares with a crew of 20 commanded by Captain Ramart from the Season 1 episode "Charlie X" or the SS Beagle with a crew of 47 that Captain Merik commanded in the Season 2 episode "Bread and Circuses".
Navigator NCC-2120 USS Entente

Ooooooooh, that would've been good....
imagine him as one of the earps in spectre of the gun, or as a corrupt starfleet officer. he would have been a great cpt. tracy type. Though i would have loved him in any role. ohhhhhhh what should have been.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Cleef.
I searched to see if this was mentioned upthread, but who SHOULD have been on Star Trek was Robert Ryan as Commodore Decker, whom I believe was Spinrad's original vision for the role. Ryan would have kicked arse.
Robbie the Robot. He'd have been perfect as Flynt's robot as opposed to the recast cloaking device.
Bob Crane is an obvious choice as a womanising captain. Crane and Kirk go on the pull on every planet and Starbase they come across leaving a wake of bastard children and std infected partners.
By that time, Robby was already too much of an icon to be taken seriously if they’d used him in Star Trek. It would have seemed like stunt robot casting.
Phyllis Diller as McCoy's ex-wife
She's tougher than the Gorn, nastier than the Klingons, and uglier than the Gorgan. Hmmmm....no wonder McCoy got a Starfleet divorce from this hideous creature.
Or as one of the Space Hippies along with John Lennon?
