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
