Can someone link me to an old classic Star Trek episode I remember.  
They used a an actor who I believe was a child and he was either bald or wearing a bald prosthetic. Then they dubbed his voice over with an adult voice.

The child actor was Clint Howard. Oddly enough, he sorta looks like that now in real life. 😉
