Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Leonard Nimoy guest stars in "A Man a Day," episode 14 of the seventh season of Gunsmoke (original air date December 30, 1961).

Nimoy plays one of a gang of outlaws who threaten to kill one townsperson each day until Marshal Dillon agrees to look the other way while they rob the Dodge City Bank. Nimoy plays the main gunman of the group, and he's delightfully sleazy.

Other Trek connections: Garry Walberg, who played the doomed commander of Outpost 4 in the Star Trek episode "Balance of Terror," plays a ranch hand who's in cahoots with the bank robbers. I love the word "cahoots."

Anytime someone recommends a modern show to me, I am vibrating with the desire to recommend old tv westerns back to them.

Henry Earl Holliman (September 11, 1928 – November 25, 2024) Film, stage and television actor, animal rights activist, and singer known for his many character roles in films, mostly Westerns and dramas, in the 1950s and 1960s. He won a Golden Globe Award for the film The Rainmaker (1956) and portrayed Sergeant Bill Crowley on the television police drama Police Woman throughout its 1974 to 1978 run.

Aside from his film appearances he also had several notable television appearances in The Twilight Zone; Hotel de Paree; The Thorn Birds; Gunsmoke; Murder, She Wrote; and Caroline in the City.

Holliman became known to television audiences through his portrayal as Sundance in CBS's Hotel de Paree, with co-star Jeanette Nolan, from 1959 to 1960, and in the title role of Mitch Guthrie with Andrew Prine in NBC's Wide Country, a drama about modern rodeo performers that aired for 28 episodes between 1962 and 1963. He also had the distinction of appearing in the debut episode of CBS's The Twilight Zone, titled "Where Is Everybody?", which aired on October 2, 1959, the same night as the premiere of Hotel de Paree. In 1967, Holliman guest-starred on Wayne Maunder's short-lived ABC military-Western series Custer. In 1970 and 1971, Holliman made two appearances in the Western comedy series Alias Smith and Jones starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy.

From 1974 to 1978, he portrayed Sergeant Bill Crowley opposite Angie Dickinson in the Police Woman series. He co-starred in all 91 episodes of the hit series (which he later remarked changed his life), playing the police department superior of undercover officer Pepper Anderson. He later took part in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast comedy roast of co-star Dickinson on August 2, 1977. (Wikipedia)

IMDb Listing

By "old" I mean the series that aired from the 1950-1970's , as I feel that's kind of the "classic" western age

Theres A LOT of western shows, but I chose some that I think are a little more popular/well known, and/or that I enjoy

[countesspetofi]

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Leonard Nimoy guest stars in "I Call Him Wonder," episode 28 of the eighth season of Gunsmoke (original air date March 23, 1963).

Nimoy plays one of a trio of cowboy assholes who lose a poker game to a trail hand and spend the rest of the episode trying to get back at him. They get him drunk, beat him, rob him, terrorize and attempt to kidnap his Arapaho foster son, and finally try to lynch him in a barn before Marshal Dillon finally comes and puts a stop to it.

Other Trek connections: Bill Zuckert plays a rancher who won't give the trail hand a job because of his foster son, and he went on to play the sheriff of the Wild West simulation in the Star Trek episode "Spectre of the Gun."
