Apropos of nothing, but the Star Trek space hippy with the ‘guitar’, Charles Napier, went on to become the Good Ole Boy that threatened to knock Jakes’ teeth out in the Blues Brothers.
Bricker:
Whenever anyone was tried, they looked vaguely ashamed as the narrator announced the results of the trial and they simply stood there looking shifty.
But I only remember one episode where I thought the hippie character really did evince genuine shame at what he’d become – “Forgery,” in which Gary Crosby (son of Bing!) played a writer whose wife had fallen in with some ne’er-do-wells and stolen/forged some checks. At the end, both Crosby’s character and the wife have cleaned up, he’s shaved the awful beard, and the detectives don’t recognize him for a moment.
And the wife was played by Jill Banner, who for a while (possibly, at the time of this episode) was dating Marlon Brando.

one actor he liked was Virginia Gregg. she was a radio actor with many roles in a number of series. she then had roles all over on tv. she was on radio Dragnet, 50s Dragnet, 60s Dragnet, Emergency and Adam-12.
She also played the mother of the mama’s boy Marine in Webb’s tour de force “The D.I.”.
