I wish this hadn't getten started, I kept thinking of new appearances last night. The actress who played the blonde yeoman in the early Star Treks was in an "Outer Limits" along with Carroll O'Connor and Barry Morse (who was always pursuing David Janssen in "Fugitive"), the latter two played a couple of Martians. Ted Cassidy played an android in one Star Trek, it was one in which an android double of Kirk was created. He played Lurch in the "Addams Family" TV series. Sally Kellerman, already mentioned as being in the movie version of MASH was in a couple of "Outer Limits" episodes, in one of them she was the wife of Martin Landau. The guy who played Apollo in one of the Star Trek episodes was in an "Outer Limits" that starred Ed Asner. There was a Star Trek that had Steve Ihnat playing a famous space captain who had gone insane. Kirk visits the hospital he is being treated in and it turns out he has taken over the place. That actor was in a two part "Outer Limits" that also had Robert Duval, and, (big drum roll) a guy who I believe ended up on "Hee Haw" as the disc jockey that always needed a shave. Nobody mentioned William Shatner's other TV series did they? "Barbary Coast", which co-starred Doug McClure. Don Addams of the old "Get Smart" series had a short lived program in which amateurs did screen tests repeating scenes from famous old movies along with guest actors and actresses, Shatner was in one of those. I remember him being dressed up in bucksins, about to be tortured by indians and having a hard time keeping a straight face. Wasn't Leonard Nimoy part of the "Mission Impossible" team for a short time? and wasn't he host of a show called "In Search Of" or some such thing? Is anybody actually wading through all this useless information? Regards, Carl Weidling

well gee, if you are going to dredge up all the people who had one-shot appearances on ST, then how about: The guy who played Jack the Ripper -- who has been in just about every tv show ever-- a department-store manager in a twilight zone episode with art carney (aka Edward L. Norton) as the drunk department-store Santa Clause; the manager of a maximum-security appartment building in an episode of the Odd Couple; and perhaps his greatest role as Mr. Peterson in the Bob Newhart Show. The little girl with the blond hair in the episode with the "friendly angel" who has also been all over the place-- she played Edna in the Odd Couple, and I seem to remember her on the Lassie series. Eleanor Donahue, who was that bitchy diplomat-type person in the episode with the "companion", and who also achieved great fame as the bitchy older sister in Father Knows Best and as Felix's bitchy girlfriend in the Odd Couple And if you look closely and pay attention, you will note that the man who played Cyrano Jones in the Trouble with Tribbles was also "Sure-Shot" Wilson in the Odd Couple episode where Felix's opera club sponsers a Monte Carlo night. Oh! I almost forgot! Watch the episode "A piece of the Action", and see if one of the mobster bosses doesn't remind you of a certain diner owner/cook in the series "Alice" Picture "The Riddler" (from the old "Batman" series) with his face half white and half black, and see if you don't get something we've seen on the bridge of the enterprise. Mark Lenard had an incidental part in an episode of Bob Newhart as a lawyer involved in a paternity suit against Mr. Carlin. I once say DeForest Kelly as a bad-guy in a horrible western movie. There are lots more of these, but I can't think of any more at the moment. I know that you are all scintillated by these vital bits of knowledge...

I have been watching this list get longer and longer, but I still haven't seen this one, so here goes. If memory serves me correct, Diana Muldaur was a semi-regular on McCloud (NBC sunday nights) as Sam McCloud's girlfriend (for lack of a better word). She's also been on several TV movies too, but the names escape me. Herb Chong

Why is it no one remembers Bones' famous appearance in one of the first
two seasons of "The Lone Ranger"? I mean he even got to say,
"Who was that masked..." well, you get the picture.

I remember another DeForest Kelly role.
In an episode of the Fugitive (David Janssen) Doc McCoy played a
small town drunken loser. He plays a good alkie, and sometimes
you see this in ST.
