Description

What do Terri Garr, James Gregory, Clint Howard and Michael Pataki all have in common? Each guest starred on Star Trek.  Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto take a look at some of the more notable actors who appeared on TOS.  Some you may recognize and some you may not.

In the 1960s, actors often moved from show to show, taking acting jobs where they could find them and hoping each would lead them to better jobs.  Many of them drove through the gates of Desilu and later Paramount to work on Star Trek.

Kids growing up in the 70s watching reruns of shows such as Batman, Bonanza, Wagon Train, Wild, Wild West, Gunsmoke, Mission: Impossible and Star Trek would often notice the same actor in different roles.  Their faces, voices or mannerisms jumped out at us and we struggled to figure out where we had seen that actor before.

In this episode we remember some of the more notable ones.
