A variation on the current theme: How many TV shows (or old movies if you must) can you name that the major cast members appeared in BEFORE landing their roles in Star Trek? For starters: Kirk: An astronaut who went to Venus in the Outer Limits, the episode with the goblin on the airplane wing in Twilight Zone. McCoy: Numerous bad Westerns. He was usually one of the first bad guys to get wasted. Scotty: An episode on Outer Limits Spock: A murderer on an episode of Perry Mason. Betsy Cvetic ihnp4!drutx!eac

[] McCoy appeared in a couple of stories in a science fiction series made in the late fifties or very early sixties. (I don't remember the name of the series or exact dates.) The shows usually open in a lab with a narator(sp?) who would explain some gadget and then lead into the story. Some of the other ST cast may have appeared in these shows but DeForrest Kelley is the only one I remember. The show used to play around 1100pm on weeknights in St. Louis about 10 years ago.

You forgot the one about the future predicting machine. How about the episode of Boris Karloff's Thriller. Anybody remember that series? Kirk knocked off his aunt, who was Lovey from Gilligan's Island. (Natalie Schaefer (sic?)) Or in Brothers Karamazov, with Claire Bloom and Lee J. Cobb? How about Scotty in Bewitched, playing a drunk. How about Spock in Outer Limits, playing some technician in a nuclear power plant that got munched by the critter. Also, wasn't he in Naked City? How about Seven Days in May? How about Chekov in The Virginian. Or in Gidget? How about Yeoman Rand in the pilot for something called "Police Story". I think that was aired on N.B.C. about twelve years ago.

Submitted for your approval... one William Shatner, a young Canadian actor, has just entered a small town near Los Angeles, California. He thinks that the small cafe in which he sits, absent-mindedly interrogating the toy fortune-telling machine at his table, is in Hollywood, California. It would be interesting to pay "A Penny For Your Thoughts", Mr. Shatner, for you have just crossed over into... The Twilight Zone. R

See Gerold's book on the making of that episode for details. That's why Sulu was in the book, while Chekov was in the show. Sulu was stuck in Georgia w/ John Wayne.

In "A Piece of the Action," Kirk and Spock are seen in
a car. Kirk is driving for his first time in his life.
Spock comments on his driving ability by saying something
like, "Capt, you are a fine starship captain, but a taxi driver you
are not."

Yes! "Perhaps one of those pedals on the floor, Captain. I
believe it was called a ... 'clutch'." (Play humorous music, show
ancient land vehicle lurching away from the curb... fade in next
scene showing car backfiring and lurching up to the curb in
another neighborhood). "Captain, you are an excellent Starship
Commander, but as a taxi driver you leave much to be desired."

For Tony Li at the University of So Calif.
the question about Enterprise crew was tough enough, for not
only did Kirk and Spoke ride in a car in a "Piece of the Action"
but also in a "Nazi" staff car in "Patterns of Force".
