Colm Meaney also had a hilarious over the top performance as DEA agent in Con-Air.
Another Fun Fact: She was married to MacNee for four years (1965–69). I had forgotten that! :smack:
Also in Total Recall is Gul Dukat!
Not to mention Ronny Cox!
Andrew “Garak” Robinson was the killer in the first “Dirty Harry” movie. Even under all that Kardashian make-up (:)), he has the same insane eyes.
I just turned on an old episode of Law & Order and not a minute later there was Bibi Besch. But she was only in a Trek movie, so still not quite what I’m looking for.
Checked her page on IMDb; didn’t realize she had died so young.
Oh, there’s one; Garak on Deep Space Nine and the third season Law & Order episode “Consultation”.
Robinson also played JFK in an episode of the eighties Twilight Zone revival series. Pretty sure Mark Alaimo did an episode of Quantum Leap.
I mentioned this in another thread awhile back, but there is an early Rockford Files episode where he is driving through the desert and a semi tried to run him off the road. He stops at a gas station to call the police on the pay phone, and the gas station attendant is Marc Alaimo. I’m not sure I would have even recognized him if I hadn’t seen his name in the credits.
I spotted Barry Russo (“Lt Cdr Giotto,” “Commodore Wesley”) as a two-bit gangster in an episode of The Untouchables, another Desilu production. He was being grilled by Robert Stack as Eliot Ness, who wanted him to fink on his boss:
“You don’t care about my skin!”
“That’s right, punk. I care more about the skin on a sausage.”
I saw an ep of “Mannix” recently that had both *Paul Carr (“Lt. Kelso” from “Where No Man Has Gone Before”) and Roger Perry (“Capt. Christopher” from “Tomorrow Is Yesterday.”)
*Interesting looking at Paul Carr’s filmography that he did some voice credits under the name Lee Kelso.
Michael Ansara was all over the place. He was TV’s answer to Yul Brynner and Anthony Quinn – the All-Purpose Ethnic. He played American Indians, Middle Eastern-types, Russians, Aliens, and what-have-you. He was Qarlo Kobrigny, the Soldier from the Future in the Harlan Ellison-scripted Outer Limits episode Soldier.
In addition to appearing a couple of times on I Dream of Jeanie (and being married to Barbara Eden), he also directed at least one episode.
He also played The Mummy (or, at least a Mummy) in Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy, a movie that also featured a pre-Dick Van Dyke Show Richard Deacon.
I never made the connection: Roger Perry played a different character in each of the two “Count Yorga (vampire)” films. OMG, he was married to Jo Anne “Laugh-in” Worley, and is now married to Joyce Bulifant.
Lee Meriwether (“Losira” in “That Which Survives”) turned up as a perky suburban housewife in an episode of Leave It to Beaver. I used to love watching her in Time Tunnel when I was in sixth grade. She was so damned **hot **in those knee-length skirts and white lab coats! :o Of course, she was also The Catwoman in the 1966 movie Batman.
Leslie Parrish (“Lt Palomas” in “Who Mourns for Adonais?”) was in an episode of Batman as a ditzy beauty queen who was kidnapped by The Penguin. She wore skin-tight gold lame slacks, grrrrrr!
It’d be interesting to do a Star Trek–Batman crossover study. Right offhand, I can think of Frank Gorshin, Sherry Jackson, Nancy Kovacs (The Mad Hatter’s moll), and Julie Newmar (the original Catwoman).
Tige Andrews (“Kras the Klingon” in “Friday’s Child”) was one of the sailors in Mr Roberts, both the movie and the original stage play.
Saw her the other night on Twilight Zone opposite Richard Basehart in “Probe 7, Over and Out,” another “Adam and Eve” story. It’s noted at IMDb that Basehart’s character obviously flew from Alpha Centauri to Earth, and not the other way around.
I can’t (or don’t want to) believe that Serling wrote something so corny.
I’ve noticed this time around that TZ went rapidly downhill after Season 2. What got me in “Probe 7” (aside from the horrible production values) was Basehart’s use of “galaxy” instead of “solar system.” :smack: Seems to me that by this time, Rod & Co. were just phoning it in.
I’m not familiar with the seasons. I was watching it on METV, but it was filling up the drive. But I digress. Serling was so could, I can’t imagine him “phoning it in”, but he surely did on this episode.
Galaxy vs. Solar System; perhaps they were trying to be sure we understood that they weren’t from Earth. And that’s how Adam and Eve populated the world. Gag.
