Danny Glover would've been 20 when TOS began, and had no screen credits prior to 1979.
Who never guest starred on TOS that should have?

He was G.R.’s first choice to play Spock, you know.
Edmund Gwenn would have been good as Samuel T. Cogley in “Court Martial” -- although I can also see Burgess Meredith in that role.
There’s a former U.S. ambassador to Australia by that name. I assume you mean David McCallum?
Hmmm.... "Pavel Chekov, meet Illya Kuryakin."
Illya must have wondered why Chekov talked funny.
Sure, some of the Trek guests became renowned actors, but most were realatively less well known at the time. It seems to me that they didn't want anybody who'd be instantly recognizable and whose personality would rule out a "character" performance. I mean, who's Bob Hope going to play besides himself?
The funny thing is that the Chekov in ST09 makes Walter Koenig's performance look subtle.

Might seem like an odd pick but, Lucille Ball. Had occasion recently to see some of her early work in Hollywood and she was a descent dramatic actress (didn't always do comedy).
If she had wanted to be on Star Trek, Roddenberry could have hardly said no, she owned the damned studio.
"Now, Ensign Ricardo . . . remember that you are a key player in the photon torpedo assembly line during combat. Have you any questions?"

Imagine Desi as Khan! "Marla, you've got some 'splaining to do!"
Apparently Bonanza was filmed close by... I can just see a wild and crazy crossover!
(seriously, either Lorne Greene or Pernell Roberts would have been great guest stars; not sure what David Canary was doing in the '60s, but I loved him in the later Bonanza episodes! 
)
Vaughn Armstrong (my favorite actor of all time) was a teenager in TOS' day. Maybe he could have played a cadet.
How about Sam Waterston? Could have played a law clerk for Samuel Cogley.
