I know David L Ross died many times as a security guard. I can think of The Omega Glory and Day of the Dove off the top of my head. Eddie Paskey, he died a whole bunch of times as well, as in Obsession, for one.
RickER,

Yes, agreed. That's one of the reasons why I wanted the answer to be a person who had been in three different roles. BTW, I've spoken to Eddie Paskey. He's a very nice fellow, and was a joy to talk to the few times I spoke to him.

We all know about Mr. Shatner's famous spoken word albums, but which actor appearing in TOS had a number one hit in the US and UK?


Was it this one?

YouTube - David Soul - Don't Give Up On Us

That's the one. For those who don't recall, his character was essentially "Adam" to the rather ardent female who was particularly interested in some forbidden knowledge.



Your turn, Anthony.

I didn't know that was David Soul!

TOS is my fav show of all time, been watching it since the early 1970s...but I feel like I don't know a damn thing about it.

Re: Star Trek Trivia (Series and Films)

Hey, has anyone seen the second installment of "Of Gods and Men"? I watched it today, and it's pretty damn good. Wasn't there a thread somewhere on HTF on it? I can't find it. Anyway, if you haven't seen it (or part 1) I highly recommend it (them), especially if you are a fan of TOS.

I think those installments are very well done. I loved the first one, which I saw several months ago. There used to be links for those on another Board that I used to be a member of; I will check to see if they are still there.

Besides the make-up, and having many familiar faces, I think the music is actually very well done. I recall loving it the first time around.

Re: Star Trek Trivia (Series and Films)

Okay, here is one:

What actors in TOS would become regulars in future TV series where the series and their character stayed in the show for longer than TOS' 3 seasons?

Easiest one for me would be Shatner as T.J.Hooker...

Anthony,

Do you have a defined (or finite) number of actors in mind for your question?

Nimoy in In Search Of... and Mission Impossible (or was that only 2 season?).

Would Majel Barrett qualify? If not as the computer voice, maybe as Luwaxana?

Cept i wouldnt call her a regular. She sure wasnt one as Luwaxana. The computer voice...maybe. I am not sure she was always credited.

Nimoy was only on M:I 2 seasons.

The Shat also has Boston Legal, how long has that been on?

Sorry, if I was not more specific, but I meant GUEST stars of TOS, not the regular stars.

Well, youve got David Soul, who had that hit song, also was in Starsky and Hutch. Richardo Montabon was on Fantasy Island. Clint Howard was on Gentle Ben. Jane Wyatt was on Father Knows Best. Mark Leonard was on Here Come the Brides...i could be here all day!

Ah, but my rule was after TOS, so let's focus on the top five longest careers of guest stars on TV series after TOS in ONE series.

Good choices, except not all of them ran longer than TOS. Robert Brown (Lazarus) was also on Here Come the Brides. That was a fun show.

Okay, then Shatner, Montalban, and Soul qualify, I think. To these three I think I would add Vic Tayback (from Alice--or was it Mel's Diner?) and Joan Collins (Dynasty). I was also thinking about adding Ted Cassidy, but then I recalled that The Addams Family wasn't on the air longer than TOS (Anthony asked this in the original question). I'm wondering if I'm missing someone more obvious.

Re: Star Trek Trivia (Series and Films)

You guys are on the right track. Remember, GUEST starts (not regulars) AFTER TOS.

So I think Ocke got most of them:

Joan Collins and Lee Bergere (Dynasty) - 9 Seasons
(Joan - S2-S9, Lee - S1-S4)

Vic Tayback (Alice) - 9 Seasons

Ricardo Montalban (Fantasy Island) - 7 Seasons

David Soul (Starsky and Hutch) - 4 Seasons

I'm afraid Here Comes the Brides lasted only 2 seasons.

I would like to declare Ockeghem the winner, your turn.

Okay, switching gears a bit here....

In the VOY episode Learning Curve (one of my favorite early episodes from the series), Tuvok takes the Maquis trainees for a run around the ship. What is the distance that Mr. Tuvok has them all run? (I realize that a couple of them were 'lapped' along the way, but I'm just looking for the intended distance--the one everyone had to run in order to be finished for the day.) Good luck!

Re: Star Trek Trivia (Series and Films)

Doesn't anyone have a guess for the question above? It's a standard distance in some circles.

Rick,

If I told you that I used to run this distance in just under 38:00, would that help?

Re: Star Trek Trivia (Series and Films)

Okay, since no one knows the answer, including me, I pulled the DVD out and found the answer: It was a 10 kilometer run.

Re: Star Trek Trivia (Series and Films)

I was trying to think of a good one, but this is what I have.

It should be an easy one. He is the father of a controversial Academy Award winning actor. He acted himself in the 50's and went on to be a director of many TV shows in the 60's and 70's and 80's, including Star Trek TOS. I thought he directed several TOS episodes, but it turns out he did one in the first season. If I'm wrong, plese correct me. Extra points if you can name the episode he directed too.
