Philip Pine, ‘Col. Green’, from ‘Spectre of the Gun’ in ‘The Set-up’ (1949). Not sure I would have recognized him if I hadn’t already seen his name in the credits, but still had those same menacing eyebrows. Also Hal Baylor, who played a cop in ‘City on the Edge of Forever’, played a boxer. ---

I saw Yeoman Rand in an ep of The Real McCoys–and for once she wasn’t playing a stripper. She was a cologne salesperson trying to use her sex appeal to get Richard Crenna to purchase. ---
