I laugh whenever they switch back and forth from long shots filmed outdoors and medium shots obviously filmed on a sound stage. The effect is especially bizarre when the actor’s galloping through the countryside on horseback.
And the colors—my God, the saturation is incredible! It’s obvious NBC wanted this series so RCA could sell more color TV sets.
Surely.
Consider Barnaby’s pink jeans on Wagon Train. Anyone in the old West would have delightedly beaten him to death for wearing those.
Watching old West Wing episodes, I spotted both Richard Fancy as a Democratic Congressman and John de Lancie as a scrappy pollster.
Meg “The Keeper” Wylie as Joyce “Rebecca” Bulifant’s “Aunt Martha” in the My Three Sons episode “Flashback.” (1963)
Root, I just saw, also appears in the very funny but dark HBO crime comedy Barry as the mentor and father figure to the title character (Bill Hader), a Marine Corps veteran and reluctant assassin.
Jerry Maren, one of the copper-skinned ambassadors in “Journey to Babel,” as KAOS agent “Lower Gemini” in the Get Smart episode “Hello, Columbus—Goodbye America!”
The actor who portrayed Lt. Hawk in Star Trek: First Contact is better known now for playing Damien Darhk On the various “Arrowverse” shows. Neal McDonough. (That blew my mind.)
According to IMDb, Jerry Maren was the green-haired Munchkin who handed Dorothy a lollipop in The Wizard of Oz.
Memory Alpha says the other copper skinned guy, Billy Curtis was also in The Wizard of Oz.
Huh. I didn’t know that the Federation had diplomatic relations with the Lollipop Guild.
Those are dilithium lollypops.
A recent newsfeed click headline. Not sure if this is the right thread, but close enough:
Star Trek’s Jeffrey Hunter: The Pete Best of Science Fiction

That’s ok with me, but the link isn’t working.

It wasn’t a link, just the website headline.

Not sure who should feel worse of the two.
Ed Peck (“Col Fellini” in “Tomorrow Is Yesterday”) as “Commercial Producer Sam” in “Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There,” the pilot episode of That Girl. I feel 11 years old again. 
NB: Before this, there was an “unaired pilot” in which Ted Bessel was “Don Blue Sky” of Native American ancestry. (No, he wasn’t made up to look Amerindian.)
Ricardo Montalban, KAHN!!! in the second episode of Wagon Train’s first season, title role in “The Jean Lebec Story”.
Montalban was in an episode of some TV series where he was to play a criminal who had killed his wife. Montalbon told the writers that he loved his wife dearly, and did not want to play a wife murderer. The writer said in an interview that they would usually tell the actor to go to Hell, but he asked Montalban, “How would you like to play an international jewel thief?”
Just saw Charley Lang as a closeted gay Republican Congressman on The West Wing, and thought he looked familiar.
Ken Lynch, “Chief Engineer Vanderberg” in “The Devil in the Dark,” as “NYPD Officer Dombrowski” in the “Little Auction Annie” episode of That Girl.
Been looking at “The Ultimate Science Fiction Collection” DVD set of old movies. Some real classics there. In “Doctor Cyclops” (1940!) Paul Fix has a bit part, twenty-five years before he played Doctor Piper in “Where No Man Has Gone Before”.
Skip Homeier, Melakon in “Patterns of force” and unrecognizable as Doctor Severin in “The Way to Eden”, ears that out did Spock, played the Wichita Kid in the Rawhide episode, “Bush War at Buford”.
