Perhaps, but no more so than Melvin Belli...oh, wait. He wasn't a robot.
What Famous Guest Star Should Have Been On ST, But Wasn't?

Plus, I think MGM in effect "rented" the prop/costume to various productions . And Trek, being particularly budget conscious, probably felt such funds could be better used elsewhere. (Of course, the way I'm phrasing my speculation gives the impression the production team actually considered it. I'm not stating they did. I'm just wondering how they might have handled the situation had it ever been addressed.
That's part of the reason (I suspect) Irwin Allen commissioned Bob Kinoshita (the creator of Robby) to design an "in house" prop, the rental fees if used throughout the series' run. As expensive as it was initially, in the long run, it was probably cheaper.

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?
Stella Mudd!
But Robby had more personality and acting range.

Looking at the robe, I was unaware that Mick was a farm boy from Tatooine.
Oh you blasphemous thing, you!
I just wouldn't be able to take a captain seriously if he kept his communicator in his shoe.
I was thinking that Michael Rennie might have made a good captain or admiral. He had a presence about him. Also, Donald Pleasance might have made a good Korob, in place of Theo Marcuse.

I'm sure his First Officer, Hymie the Robot, would remind him, Captain Maxwell Smart, of that to try and put an end to Capt. Max. using the communicator boot.
Here is a link to a short video (36 seconds) of Hymie the Robot from "Get Smart".

Uh, are you sure you’re posting in the right thread?
Though he’s mainly known for playing the simpering comic villain that Dr. Smith devolved into in the later epsiodes of Lost in Space, Jonathan Harris was a very good character actor. It would have been interesting to see him play Harry Mudd.

Well, there is a short story by David Gerrold called "The Kennedy Enterprise," set in an alternate timeline where JFK was an actor who starred in a 60s science fiction show called Star Track, and who was murdered by a crazed fan.

Bo Derek = Painted Green Orion Style, ahem....
Bette Davis = First Female Admiral, but totally sarcastic, insulting and acerbic.
Jason Robards = as God looking for way to retire
John Ritter = Charlie X's bumbling younger Brother that trips over furniture and can't control his randomly activated powers!

Welcome to the Trek BBS!
Bo Derek would have made a great green Orion girl in one of the later Trek shows. But this particular subforum is about Star Trek, the Original Series. Bo was ten years old when the show debuted.
And Johnny Depp was three! Now we’re just getting silly.
Thank you!
OY VAY - No perversion intended! lolol Maybe as the bossy annoying older Sister to Balok the Tronya 'kid' then ;~) (the real reason he dispatches the mother ship... shes in it
