Just saw Reg Barcley (Dwight Schultz) in an ep of CHiPs that also had a lot of Michael Dorn (as Officer Jebidiah Turner, not as Worf) in it.
The Hawk and the Hunter - Season 4 Episode
…
This was a two-fer. Actually a one-fer. No, a two-fer.
I was watching the The Old Man Picked a Lemon ep of the 1960s series “The Fugitive,” and I noticed at the end of the program. . . Leonard Nimoy! At least I thought it was, but I didn’t see his name in the credits. He had had enough acting credits at the time that although he could have been uncredited, it seemed unlikely.
But I did pick out another name in the credits that I recognized. . . Jan Shutan, who played Lt. Mira Romaine in “The Lights of Zetar.”
Then I noticed that the character of “The Sheriff” was played by an actor named Lawrence Montaigne. So, I rewound and thought, “OK, there is a resemblance, both in appearance and voice, to some extent, but not Nimoy”
But. . . lookie, lookie, here. . . Montaigne did play a Vulcan and a Romulan in the original series, and had Nimoy left the series, was considered to be the replacement character.
I had a two-fer of my own today: William Schallert (“Nilz Baris” in “The Trouble with Tribbles”) and William Windom (“Commodore Decker” in “The Doomsday Machine”), both doing faux European accents on “The Train,” Episode 24, Season 1 of the original Mission: Impossible.
A couple of days ago, Ricardo Montalban (“Khan Noonian Singh” in “Space Seed”) was a sadistic penal colony warden in “Snowball in Hell,” Episode 21, Season 1 of the original Mission: Impossible.
Tomorrow’s episode of M:I should be “Shock” with James Daly (“Mr Flint” in “Requiem for Methuselah”) and Vic Perrin (“Tharn”/“Tharn” in “Mirror, Mirror”; the voice of the Metron in “Arena”; the voice of NOMAD in “The Changeling”; the voice of The Keeper in “The Menagerie”).
There was a lot of crossover between TOS and M:I, since they were both filmed at Desilu. The first-season episode of M:I where it was greatest was number 8, “The Ransom”: William Smithers (“Merricus” in “Bread and Circuses”), Don Marshall (“Lt Boma” in “The Galileo Seven”), Eddie Paskey (“Lt Leslie” in multiple episodes), and Vic Tayback (“Jojo Krako” in “A Piece of the Action”).
Leonard Nimoy went to M:I after Trek, did he not?
He became a regular in the fourth season, after Martin Landau and Barbara Bain left. SFAIK, he was never a guest star.
Landau, Bain, and Nimoy were never guests in my kitchen.
How about Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz, and Lucille LeSueur? :dubious:
Recently I noticed him on Star Trek: Discovery as the Orion who tries to steal something from one of the crewmembers. Great cameo!
I was just watching a 1987 episode of Spenser: For Hire. The actor playing the hot-headed oldest son of a Boston Irish crime boss seemed very familiar. I checked IMDB and it’s Timothy Carhart, who was so annoyingly insubordinate as Data’s acting First Officer in the second TNG episode about the Klingon Civil War.
Ken Lynch, head mining engineer in The Devil in the Dark, in the *Wagon Train *episode, The Alice Whitetree Story plays the usual jerk Sheriff.
Did he have any scenes with Cmdr. Sisko
He did! They twice pointed guns at each other, but didn’t shoot.
Wow! am I out of it: I never made the connection of Dwight (Barclay) Schultz and “Howling Mad” Murdock of The A-Team, probably because I’ve never seen an episode of A-Team.
A three-way on today’s episode of Mission: Impossible, “The Play”: John “Cor” Colicos, Barry “Surak” Atwater, and Charles “Adam” Napier.
An interesting sidenote: Clete Roberts, who played a TV newsman/interviewer on many shows, including MASH***, was in this episode too, playing … a TV newsman.
Make that a seven-way: Jason Wingreen, “Dr Linke” in “The Empath,” was in it too. So were Charles “Wyatt Earp” Maxwell; Ed “‘Multiple Roles,’ including ‘Boy Monster’ in ‘Miri’” McCready; and David “‘More Multiple Roles’ including ‘Kartan’ in ‘Operation: Annihilate’” Armstrong.
That must be a record beater.
EDIT: “Kor,” not “Cor”! DUH! :smack:
