Hello Trekfans out there!! I noticed that there are some pairs of transient Star Trek characters that were played by the same actor. The list is as follows (it is probably not exhaustive): Melakon <=> Dr. Sevrin Sarek <=> Romulan commander Trelane <=> Captain Koloth Ann Mulhall <=> Miranda Jones Dr. Van Gelder <=> Captain Ronald Tracy Nurse Chapel <=> Number One Peter Kirk <=> Tommy Starnes Septimus <=> Mr. Atoz (the librarian -- A-to-Z, get it?) It is left as an exercise to the reader to determine the episode names (I may write a textbook someday on some topic). Doesn't it seem as though Commodore Stone ("Court Martial") and Dr. Daystrom were played by the same actor? I think they have different names in the credits, though. I also noticed that a few of our favorites turned up as villains on Batman: Bele <=> Riddler (Frank Gorshin; John Astin also played riddler) Commodr. Mendez <=> False Face (How could I tell??) Losira <=> Catwoman (also Barnaby Jones' secretary) Eleen <=> Catwoman (Julie Newmar) Marta <=> Batgirl (ok, not a villain) Bill Shatner, by the way, was in Twilight Zone a couple times. He played the man on the plane who saw a creature out on the wing (this episode was re-made in the Twilight Zone movie, sans Bill -- I could not reach Bill for any comment on this, sorry). He also played the man who got caught up in a small-town coffee-shop fortune-telling machine. Well, folks, keep those cards and letters coming in. See ya in the real world.... Have fun, Hans Lachman lachman@ucla-locus.arpa [ucbvax | ihnp4]!ucla-cs!lachman "Help, I'm being held prisoner in a Unix(tm) factory!"
