Arlene Martel is a clerk in a posh jewelry shop in the Columbo episode “A Friend in Need,” where she didn’t end up on the cutting-room floor!
Harris Yulin, a very talented character actor with a long and distinguished career, just died. May he rest in peace.
He was quite good in his single ST appearance:
Leonard Nimoy, mishandling nuclear material in an episode of Highway Patrol, S03, E08 barely younger than I.
Just saw William Schallert as the mayor of a Southern hick town in In the Heat of the Night.
Three ST actors appeared in the 1976 WWII epic Midway, which I just saw.
Glenn Corbett plays a doomed US Navy pilot.
Robert Ito and Clyde Kusatsu both play young Japanese Navy officers, and appear in several scenes together.
You can see Doug the Vulcan on an episode of Parks and Recreation talking about Star Wars!
Checked this thread because I just recently rewatched The Sting. In addition to these two, there was also Ray “Boothby” Walston, AKA My Favorite Martian.
Ah, right you are, of course!
Just saw a bit of the Cold War sea adventure The Hunt for Red October on TV.
She plays Jack Ryan’s wife in an opening scene.
He plays a young US Navy submarine officer.
I searched the thread for “encounter” so maybe this hasn’t been covered.
I discovered there was a “banned” Twilight Zone: “The Encounter”
A WWII veteran who likes a beer or five (“church key” can openers!) and a young Japanese guy (George Takei!) and a persistent katana that won’t let the door open. I recall having heard that even before Star Trek’s “The Naked Time” where Sulu is all about with a katana, that there was a twilight zone episode with him using it.
I can kinda see why it didn’t stay in rotation, yet there was no way I would not see a Twilight Zone. Found it on Pluto TV.
A bigot a few degrees south of Archie Bunker and a nice-enough, well-played Takei, called “boy” about four times and of course the other guy says he didn’t lose his job because of a “few lousy beers” but because of Mexicans, Chinese and Japanese (he does not use the slur-considered versions of these peoples - that might have kept it in the Bannination Zone).
Good performances, and supernatural stuff. At the end the un-openable door creeks open while Serling is doing his voice-over outro. Spooky!
Not exactly “spotted in another program” but a belated discovery. We caught ST:TNG’s “Identity Crisis” the other night, the one where Geordi and guest role Lt. Cmdr. Leijten are being transformed into scaredy-cat three-toed aliens. The actress playing Leijten is just fantastic, ennobling the episode. Turns out Maryann Plunkett has serious Broadway chops, starring in Agnes of God (replacing Dianne Wiest) and any number of other big shows. No wonder she was pretty good in Star Trek!
