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.

OMG That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. That's not it, but that made my day!

 

[Anthony Hom]

Whew!
Next.
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

Wow. That was fucking awesome. I'd never seen that before, and didn't even know it existed.

 

[Radioman970]

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.

 

[Sam Favate]

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.

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?

 

[Raasean Asaad]

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?

 

[Sam Favate]

Okay, here is one:

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?

 

[RickER]

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?

 

[Anthony Hom]

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!

 

[Anthony Hom]

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.

 

[Ockeghem]

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.

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.

 

[Anthony Hom]

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.
