Johnny “Aye, m’Lord. Called 'im ‘Bones,’ 'e did!” Haymer as “Rocco the Referee” in the Three’s Company episode “Jack Goes the Distance.”

William Schallert, Nilz Baris in the Trouble With Tribbles, played “soldier”, a military clerk in the Have Gun Will Travel episode, The Girl From Picadilly.

Gene Roddenberry wrote many episodes of Have Gun Will Travel although not this one.

Carel Struycken, “Mr Homn” in ***TNG ***and “Spectre” in Voyager, as “The Giant” in the St Elsewhere episode “Fairytale Theater.”

William “Sloan” Sadler and Cristine “Gi’ral” Rose as “The Oppenheimers” in the ***St Elsewhere ***episode “The Abby Singer Show.”

My TV was muted, but I just last night saw Shatner on a commercial again. SoClean, for C-PAP users…

Stanley Adams, from the Trouble With Tribbles, played a shop leeper in the film *Nevada Smith.

Character actors Craig Reed and Bob Harks (“One-Armed Borg” and “Bajoran Civilian” in multiople episodes of TNG/***VOY ***and DS9, respectively) as “Mr Mirkin” and “Janitor” in the St Elsewhere episode “The Last One.”

Also in this episode is John Short, aka “Drake” in the Enterprise episode “Regeneration.”

Two recent instances of the reverse (watching Star Trek and wondering where I’ve seen that person)
In Star Trek Picard, the Lt Rizzo/Narissa was played by Peyton List who was the main character in the Frequency TV show, and the second adult Ivy Pepper on Gotham
In Discovery, Stella (Mrs. Mudd) was played by Katherine Barrell, who was officer Haught on Wynona Earp
(“Harry” Mudd was played by Rainn Wilson, Dwight Schrute on the office)

Brian

Kenneth Tobey, “Rurigan” on ***DS9 ***(and “Chuck” on Whirlybirds), as “Police Commissioner” in the ***Columbo ***episode “A Case of Immunity.”

That is a find! I did not recognize him in the DS9 episode.

Anthony Caruso, Bela Oxmyx in* A Piece of the Action* played a Mexican gangster in the Peter Gunn episode, The Coffin.

It may be easier to find TV shows from 1950 to 1970 that Anthony Caruso was *not *in.

Just spotted Ethan (Neelix) Phillips in the 1994 Alec Baldwin flick “The Shadow”. Plays a museum security guard.

Just saw David Warner, who’s played three different memorable ST characters, as Evil in the British fantasy Time Bandits: David Warner | Memory Alpha | Fandom

I’m getting through a few episodes of The Rockford Files, Columbo and Mission Impossible to see through the lock down, Star Trek guest stars pop up a fair bit in those shows.

The only Trek/Rockford connection I can think of offhand is Mariette “Zarabeth” Hartley. I’m curious if there are any others.

Elisha Cook, Jr, (“Samuel T Cogley”) as “Paulie” in the Starsky and Hutch episode “Lady Blue.”

Not to mention Wilmer in The Maltese Falcon

The gunsel.
