Yes. Majel Barret played both Number 1 and Nurse Chapel.

They liked him fine, but one of the books on ST (I think it was _T_h_e _M_a_k_i_n_g _o_f _S_t_a_r _T_r_e_k) pointed out that, after finishing the first pilot and being told to make a second, the producers found that Hunter had become unavailable. So they hunted around (no pun intended) and found Shatner was available and pretty good for the part. -- Karl Kleinpaste

I believe the reason was that after the first pilot the show wasn't picked up immediately. A year later they were going to shoot another pilot, but Hunter turned down the role of Pike to play the lead in some type of cheese-whiz, sf-spy adventure. I don't remember the name of the movie, but the lead had a little time travel device so he could prevent assasinations and other fun stuff like that. It sure wasn't a great career choice for Hunter.

Well, yes...

It sure wasn't a great career choice for Hunter. One other note of interest: NBC, before accepting Star Trek for broadcast put 2 conditions on their acceptance: 1) get rid of the female first officer 2) get rid of the guy with the pointed ears -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oh when the flames...come rolling in...oh when the flames come rolling in...

I think if you check you will find that Hunter didn't die until 1969. Steve Anich

That's what I used to believe, until recently. Somewhere (and as
soon as I remember where, I'll post a follow-up) I read an article
about Hunter's career with a rebuttal from his daughter (or some
similar relative). The gist of the article was that he'd been
type-cast as Jesus/martyrs. Anyway, the article claimed that he
demanded too much money to reprise Pike in the second pilot, considering
himself to be a bankable name in motion pictures. Shatner, then,
was chosen because he worked cheap (my how times have changed).
