I just finished watching a most intere-
sting episode of The Man From UNCLE.
It had (as bad guys) Werner Klemperer
and Leonard Nimoy. The former you might
remember from Hogan's Heroes, the latter
you must know from our favorite show. It
also had William Shatner as a good guy..
The title of the show was "The Project
Strigas Affair" and was better than
average.
  How many other appearances do people
remember? I seem to recall seeing Nimoy
in an episode of The Twilight Zone (I
think it was The Purple Testament). Post
to the net if you know of other intere-
sting appearances by Startrek personnel.

The Twilight Zone also starred William Shatner in an
episode about a passenger on an airplane who sees a
monster on the wing.  I didn't see TZ, the movie, but
I believe the episode appeared in it.

In Stanley Kramer's film JUDGEMENT AT NURNBERG (c. 1960), Shatner plays
Spencer Tracy's military aide, a US Army Captain (not named Kirk).

There was also a Twilight Zone episode in which shatner appeared.
He and a woman were getting their car dixed in some god forsaken
small town, they ended up spending all day in some diner playing with
a fortune telling machine.....I think the Captain spent about $50
in pennies playing with it.

I once saw DeForest Kelly in an old "Lone Ranger" episode. He played a 
young (!) alcoholic doctor (!!) who was being pushed off his land by a 
wealthy land baron. Its a classic plot. The episode was in grainy black 
and white and the copyright date after the credits was 1948.

Bill Shatner was in 'Big Bad Mama' with Angie Dickenson (sp?).
George Takai (Sulu) was in M*A*S*H (tv series) a couple of times (at least)
  - early, when Hawkeye traded Henry's desk for some medical supplies
  - later, North Korean infiltrator seeking supplies 'kidnap' Frank Burns

Recently, I saw a rerun of "VEGAS" where George Takei played the police doctor,
I think it was the one where a psycho relives and recreates the Jack The Ripper
murders. What struck me as funny was that Takei is about half the size of
Robert Urich and the guy who plays Lt. Nelson. He never looked short on ST.

This one is really old and obscure, and most of the details
escape me...
 
William Shatner was commander of a WWII bomber which was shot down
in N. Africa. All of the crew went down with the plane except
for 1 member. The crash was (apparently) not serious as (apparently)
no one was hurt. They spent their time awaiting rescue by straightening
up the wreckage and playing baseball. Some time later, the crew member who
bailed out returned with a rescue team to find the crash straightened up
and no sign of survivors, bodies etc. The idea being that the suposed
survivors were dead, ghosts who thought they were still alive. They saw 
the rescue team coming, but could not contact them, being dead and all.
 
I remember this as being a TV movie at least 10 years ago. Anyone
out there in netland remember more details, like title.

One thing I'm not clear on is if it were Shatner's character who
bailed out, or someone else.

One of the more bizarre previous appearances I'd come across (my jaw dropped
when I saw it in a rerun about 12 years ago) was an episode of THE MAN FROM
U.N.C.L.E. called "The Project Strigas Affair". Both William Shatner *and*
Leonard Nimoy guest-starred in it. Shatner played an exterminator (of vermin)
and Nimoy, I believe played a foreign military dignitary.
	Shatner was also in an episode of THE OUTER LIMITS ("Cold Hands, Warm
Heart"), playing the first astronaut to Venus, who finds that he can't keep warm
enough, regardless of the temperature, once he returns to Earth. He was posses-
sed by some alien spirit, if I remember correctly (it wasn't a very good episode
so I didn't pay that much attention).
	Nimoy was in two episodes of TOL. The first was titled "Production and
Decay of Strange Particles"; I don't recall what the story was about or what
part Nimoy played (I'm not sure that I ever saw this one). The other episode
was "I, Robot" (adapted from the Adam Link story of that title by Eando Binder,
not the Asimov collection with that title!).

	I believe that George Takei appeared in the movie "Walk - Don't
   Run". Near the end of the movie there was a Japanese police inspector
   and I'm pretty sure that it was Takei.

Speaking of Bonanza, ever see the one about the drought with James Doohan
and Majel Barett as ranchers looking for water?  One of the few good ones...
might be interesting to see if Gene Roddenberry wrote the script (a hint
seems to remind me he did).

And I once saw DeForest Kelly in an old "Bonanza" episode.  I only
caught about ten minutes worth, but determined that he was a thirtyish
doctor (has he ever done anything else?) languishing in jail after
being sentenced to death.  Lorne Green wanted him to save someone's
life, and DeForest was dickering for, not reprieve, but money for his
family.

	I once saw George Takei in an episode of "Baa Baa Black Sheep"  (later
renamed "Black Sheep Squadron").  He played the role of an "expert" of
American affairs who was sent along as an observer with a landing force
(Japanese) that captured the island that the squadron used as a base.
If I remember correctly, the reason for the invasion was that Gen. McArthur
was supposed to visit the base and they wanted to capture him.

A couple months ago, while drinking warm beer and eating left over pizza,
I saw William Shatner portray a dual role in a Western TV movie. Now this
was at 2 in the morning, so the details are somewhat sketchy.

Shatner (in this movie) has a twin brother who is an Indian. The Indian
Shatner is like the bad side of Kirk in one of the St episodes. Well, the
good Shatner is going after his twin brother to settle things. He is an
excellent shot. He nearly gets mangled in one of the towns, 'cause the
people there think he is his Indian brother. All in all, the performance
was quite good, and Shatner outdid himself in playing the two roles. He
was quite young here, probably 28 or so. That implies the movie was made
sometime in the early sixties.

I don't think George Takei ever appeared in M*A*S*H. Those two roles 
mentioned, in the episode w/ Henry's desk & the Frank Burns kidnapping
were both played by Robert Ito of "Quincy" fame.

If you check the "Silver Screen" supplement to the game "Trivial
Pursuits", you'll find that Leonard Nimoy played an alien in the 
1952 classicAstrozombies of the Stratosphere" (or something like 
that).  Woof.

  I recall Shatner in an episode of "Gunsmoke" as well. I think he played
an outlaw that good ol' Marshall Matt was trying to bring in.

I remember this film - I believe it was called "The Sole Survivor".
The survivor was Richard Basehart (Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea).
The airplane was going to crash, and he panicked (somewhen informing
the rest of the crew that they were over ocean) and bailed out.
The ship crashed in the desert; the rest of the crew had bailed out thinking
they were over water (so were in a life-raft).  They were there for years
(but they only thought it was a short time) as ghosts, until their bodies
were found and 'put to rest'.
Funny, I don't remember William Shatner in the movie.

I'm not sure that the movie I remember was titles 'Sole Survivor.'
As I said in the original posting, it was a long time ago. One thing
I am sure about is that William Shatner *was* in the film. I remember this
because it was the major reason I watched it. Being a young (~10) 
impressionable, rabid Star Trek fan I wanted to see Capt. Kirk in
whatever film it was. Let's keep this discussion going and figure it
out!

William Shatner was also in a film titled "White Commanche". He
played a dual role.  One was a Commanche Indian (hence the title)
and the other was a cowboy accused of the crimes of the former.

Not having followed this discussion until recently, this previous
appearance may have been discussed all ready so I'll keep it short.
William Shantner appeared in an episode of the Twilight Zone
in which he and his wife a forced to layover in a small town because
of car problems.  They go to the local coffee shop and WS begins
popping pennies into a fortune telling machine at their table.
The fortunes appear to be coming true, and though his wife suggests
he stop, WS begins to believe in the machines ability to foretell
the future that he becomes obsessed with it.
All in all, a rather interesting show.

There was also George Takei's appearance in "The Green Berets" and
Nimoy's role in Mission Impossible after Martin Landau left. The best
place to find lots of old startrek actors in non-startrek roles may
in fact be some of the old Mission Impossible episodes. Last year in 
the bay area one of the stations was running these (before Peter Graves
was in them) and I noticed lots of the same actors (including the actress
that played the Romulan commander and a whoever did Koloth). In restrospect
this probably isn't too surprising since both shows were Desilu productions.

Did anybody see William Shatner and Angie Dickenson as gangsters in
the movie "Big Bad Momma"? (They were REAL friendly!).

George Takei also appeared with John Wayne and David Jansen in the Green Berets,
which also featured the actor that played Rael in the episode of the Skalosian
water which was the finest speed in the universe.

As an aside, the lady that played Dealla in that same ST episode has appeared
in Perry Mason, Bonanza, and Maverick, along with other syndicated shows I've
seen but can't for the life of me name. Ooops, one I've just remembered is
Mr.Lucky (a plug is appropriate here for the Ross Martin fan club).

(beam this bug up, Scottie)

   Nichelle Nichols once made an appearance in a men's skin-mag a few
years ago.  I saw it on a news stand (while browsing thru Time and
Newsweek :-)), I don't remember which magazine it was, not a well
known one I'm sure.  I got the impression the pictures were fairly
old and had been dug out of some archives somewhere, although there
was an 'interview' with her.  It was a long time ago, that's all I
remember.

Another obscure appearance by William Shatner was in the Boris Karloff
"Thriller" mystery series. The title was "The Grim Reaper." Shatner played a
young man whose rich and aging aunt had purchased a painting of the Grim
Reaper. The legend of the portrait was that it brought bad luck to its owners.
Shatner's character, being the greedy sort, did away with his aunt, and all of
the other heirs to her fortune.  After the last murder, his girl friend
realized what was going on. She runs to get the police. He goes into the study
where the portrait is hanging to get a drink.  The door slams shut, and locks.
You see a look of pure terror on Shatner's face.  (The lighting and look on
Shatner's face is almost identical to that showing Kirk's "dark" side in the
confrontation between the two Kirks in "The Enemy Within".) The scene
progresses something like this:

Sound from the other side of the room:  "Swish, swish, swish"
Shatner:	"No, NO!"
	     "Swish, swish, swish"
		"No, NOT THAT!"
	     "Swish,swish, SWISH"
		"AARGH!!!!"
At which point, they cut to the girl friend and the police arriving. They
break down the door to the study, and enter.
"Oh my God, look at that!"
They look towards where the body presumably lies (the body is not shown), and
point to the portrait on the wall. The Grim Reaper is smiling, and there is
blood dripping down the wall from his scythe.

A definite thriller, and a good piece of acting on Shatner's part. For several
weeks after seeing this one, I kept hearing "Swish, swish, swish"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Live long and Prosper!

     How about that mid-70's TV movie "The Horror at 37,000 Feet"?  Shatner
is aboard a trans-Atlantic 747 carrying relics plundered from some Stonehenge-
like witches lair.  The trip is occuring on midsummer night's eve, and the
spirits become restless and takeover the aft section of the plane.  Something
motivates Shatner to confront them.  He scares them off (with the help of
the coming sunrise); but the movie ends with him falling out the tail to
his doom.  A real turkey.

Hopefully someone will be able to fill this out for me, but I remember
the Captain playing a man dominated by his mother in one of the Outer
Limits or something like that.  The story is that he is rich (as in
his mother is) and he is travelling in Europe.  He meets a girl that
gets him to propose, only that his mother does not want him to get
married.  The Captain ends up pushing his fiancee off a cliff because
of his mother's disapproval.  Quite a change of pace to see the
Captain as a simpering wimp.

Don't forget that William Shatner starred in the short-lived series
"Barbary Coast" in the early to mid 70's.

       I recently saw a real bad movie on cable TV that
featured James Doohan and William Campbell (Squire of Gothos
and Capt. Koloth).  It was set in a S. California High School
in the mid-60's and featured Rock Hudson, Angie Dickenson,
and Telly Sevalas.  RH was seducing and killing the prettiest
girls on campus.  James Doohan was a police detective who
was assisting TS (the primary detective) in the murder 
investigation.  William Campbell was the inept local sheriff
who could not even direct traffic correctly.  The movie
was written and produced by Gene Roddenberry.

    Also, the "Making of Star Trek" says that Roddenberry met
Leonard Nimoy when he made a guest appearance on Roddenberry's
TV series "The Lieutenant".  GR decided then that he wanted to
cast Nimoy as an alien.

I too saw the movie with Rock Hudson a month or two ago on Showtime.
It was called "Pretty Maids All in a Row."
