Just spotted Clyde Kusatsu as a Secret Service technician in the terrific 1993 thriller In the Line of Fire.
Just saw Stephen Root, who shows up in practically everything sooner or later, as a GOP campaign consultant on The West Wing.
Two future ST:TNG actors appear in the original Ghostbusters, which I just saw again over the weekend.
Timothy Carhart plays the musical colleague of Sigourney Weaver’s character, who looks suspiciously at Bill Murray on the Lincoln Center plaza.
And Michael Ensign plays the sniffy hotel manager who hires the Ghostbusters for their first gig.
MeTV runs Star Trek on Saturday evenings, followed by Kolchak: the Night Stalker. The same actor was in both shows tonight; Ken Lynch as Vanerberg in The Devil in the Dark, and then as Capt. Warren in the Ripper.
Then of course there’s James Gregory as another Kolchak police captain
Ed Peck (again!) as Rob Petrie’s old Army CO in an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show (“Body and Sol”).
There are probably others who have been on both Star Trek and The Night Stalker (Kathie Brown, for one); I just thought it was notable that Ken Lynch’s two episodes were on back-to-back. He was only on each series once.
I think of My Favorite Martian.
Marina Sirtis of STNG in the Stargate SG-1 episode, “Watergate”, playing Russian character Dr. Svetlana Markov.
John Delancie (sp) Q in various STNG episodes, as an asshole from the Pentagon in Stargate SG-1, season 5, episode 3, “Ascension”.
David Brian (“Führer John Gill”) as a Mob boss in the Joan Crawford noir The Damned Don’t Cry.
David Brian again in Joan Crawford’s This Woman is Dangerous.
Mark “Sarek” Lenard as a frontier DA in Clint Eastwood’s Hang 'Em High.
also, john delancie had a lengthy stay on days of our lives as one half of the light-hearted comedy relief couple on days of our lives in the late 80s …
He also had a one-shot on murder she wrote as a high-class art thief
Delancie possessed by a gual’od (sp) and blown out of an airlock (Yeah!) by Col. Jack O’Neill (two Ls) in the SG-1 episode, “Prometheus”.
Janos “Mother Horta” Prohaska as “Clyde the Ape” in Bikini Beach (1964).
There was a short series on Netflix called the Indian Detective, where comedian Russell Peters played an Indo-Canadian detective who ends up in Bombay investigating a crime lord. It was kind of a fish out of water comedy crime drama. I liked it a lot.
Anyway, WIlliam Shatner had a small but significant part in it.
Barry “Surak” Atwater and Alfred “Dr Crater” Ryder as bad guys in back-to-back episodes of Hawaii Five-O.
Paul “Lt Lee Kelso” Carr as bad guy “Toomie Walsh” in today’s episode. Oddly enough, he had a sidekick named “Lew Kelso.”
Madeline “Marla McGivers” Rhue was in today’s episode too.
My son and I have gotten hooked on The Expanse, a very cool show about interplanetary politics and intrigue in the not-so-distant-future Solar System. Several ST alums in it.
