Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Part 2 of a double feature! This episode had so many good shots of the Star Trek star, and so many Trek connections, that trying to put it all in one post would have made it way too image heavy.

James Doohan guest stars in "Expanding Human," episode 4 of the second season of The Outer Limits (original air date October 10, 1964).

Jimmy plays a hardboiled police detective investigating a series of crimes linked to a university science lab where the faculty and students have been experimenting with mind-expanding drugs. One of the professors has been using himself as a guinea pig and ends up in a Jekyll-and-Hyde situation where he gains superpowers but loses his moral compass. The drugs wear off at an inopportune moment during a hostage situation that turns into a fatal shootout with Doohan's police colleagues.

Other Trek connections:

Jason Wingreen, who plays the police coroner here, can be seen as the doomed scientist Dr. Linke in the Star Trek episode “The Empath.” He was also the original voice of Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back, before his lines were redubbed in 2004.

Peter Duryea, who played navigator José Tyler in the Star Trek pilot The Cage" and its repackaged version “The Menagerie,” appears in “Expanding Human” as one of Dr. Clinton's inner circle of students.

Doohan's assistant, Detective Sgt. Alger, is portrayed by Troy Melton. He did stunt work on several episodes of Star Trek, and also played an unnamed Eminian guard in "A Taste of Armageddon."

The narrator of The Outer Limits, known as "Control Voice," was prolific voice actor Vic Perrin. He provided voices in three episodes of Star Trek, including that of Nomad in "The Changeling," and appeared in a fourth as the leader of the Halkans in "Mirror, Mirror." He was also the original narrator of Spaceship Earth when it opened in EPCOT Center in 1982.

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Grace Lee Whitney appears in "The Andrew Elliott Story," episode 21 of the seventh season of Wagon Train (original air date February 10, 1964).

Whitney plays Nora, a saloon girl who joined two off-duty cavalry officers on an ill-fated expedition across the desert on a search for a shortcut to the gold fields of the West coast. Their story is told in flashback when their hired guide, the expedition's only survivor, who is now working for the wagon train, is questioned by one of the officers' Senator father and the other's commander.

Other Trek connections are below the fold.

Nora's lover, the eponymous Andrew Elliott, is played by Skip Homeier. He made not one, but two appearances in The Original Series: first as Space Nazi Melakon in "Patterns of Force" and second as Space Hippie Dr. Sevrin in "The Way to Eden."

Alfred Ryder played the cavalry commander in "The Andrew Elliott Story" and the salt vampire's willing victim Professor Robert Crater in the Original Series episode "The Man Trap."

Herschel Daugherty, the director of this episode, also directed the Original Series episodes "Operation -- Annihilate!" and "The Savage Curtain."

The writer of "The Andrew Elliott Story," John Kneubuhl, was one of the original writers of the story that became the Original Series episode "Bread and Circuses." However, by the time it reached its final form so many of his ideas had been edited out that he was no longer eligible for screen credit.

This last cut is so deep we may encounter Horta in the lowest level of the dilithium mine. You see the gentleman with the newspaper under his arm, glancing at Teri Garr as he passes her on the sidewalk in the Original Series episode "Assignment: Earth?" His name is Edwin Rochelle, and he was the stand-in for Robert Lansing (Gary Seven) on this project and many others. He also had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it part as a bartender in the saloon where Nora works in "The Andrew Elliott Story."

Character Actor

Parley Edward Baer (August 5, 1914 – November 22, 2002) Actor in radio and later in television and film. Despite dozens of appearances in television series and theatrical films, he remains best known as the original "Chester" in the radio version of Gunsmoke, and as the Mayor of Mayberry (Roy Stoner) in The Andy Griffith Show.

As an on-camera performer, Baer was recognizable by his distinctive voice, his paunchy appearance, and his balding head. Often he portrayed fussy, bossy, and/or obstinate officials or neighbors. Extended television roles included blustering, by-the-book Mayor Stoner on The Andy Griffith Show, the neighbor Darby on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, frequent guest appearances on The Addams Family as insurance man and city commissioner Arthur J. Henson, and in the late 1990s, Miles Dugan on The Young and the Restless. He also appeared as a telephone executive on Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.

Baer guest-starred in the 1950s on NBC's The Dennis Day Show and It's a Great Life, on CBS's Hey, Jeannie!, on ABC's The Law and Mr. Jones with James Whitmore, on the syndicated crime drama Johnny Midnight with Edmond O'Brien, and on the NBC children's western series, Fury with Peter Graves and Bobby Diamond. He made six guest appearances on Perry Mason during the last five seasons of the CBS legal drama, including the role of Edward Farraday in the 1962 episode, "The Case of the Captain's Coins," and Willard Hupp in the 1963 episode, "The Case of the Bouncing Boomerang".

He also appeared on the ABC sitcom Harrigan and Son, on the ABC/Warner Bros. crime drama, The Roaring 20s, on NBC's crime drama Dan Raven starring Skip Homeier, and on the NBC family drama, National Velvet. Baer was cast twice on Walter Brennan's sitcom, The Real McCoys. He also guest-starred on the CBS sitcoms Dennis the Menace with Jay North, The Tom Ewell Show with Tom Ewell, and Angel, starring Annie Fargé. In the latter, he carried the lead as Dr. Mathews in the single episode "The Dentist", with Maudie Prickett as his dental secretary.

In 1961, Baer guest-starred on Marilyn Maxwell's short-lived ABC drama series, Bus Stop. On April 13, 1962, he appeared, along with Frank Ferguson and Royal Dano in ABC's crime drama Target: The Corruptors in the episode "Journey into Mourning".

In 1963, Baer appeared with Charles Aidman and Karl Swenson in the three-part episode "Security Risk", a story of international blackmail and intrigue, on the CBS anthology series, GE True, hosted by Jack Webb.

In 1964, Baer was cast as a sheriff in an episode of Mickey Rooney's short-lived Mickey sitcom, and as a scientist in an Outer Limits episode, "Behold, Eck!" He was seen in four episodes of Hogan's Heroes and eight episodes of Bewitched in various roles as advertising clients of McMann and Tate.

Baer was cast as Horace Greeley, who came to Colorado in 1859 in the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, in the 1965 episode "The Great Turkey War" of the syndicated series, Death Valley Days.

In 1967, Baer appeared as General Whitfield on the I Dream of Jeannie episode, "Fly Me to the Moon".

Baer made two appearances on Petticoat Junction. In the 1966 episode, "Jury at the Shady Rest", he was Bailiff Tucker. Then, in the 1969 episode, "The Glen Tinker Caper", he was Judge Madison.

Later guest appearances included Three for the Road, Three's Company (as a cooking competition judge), The San Pedro Beach Bums, The A-Team, Star Trek: Voyager, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Dukes of Hazzard, Night Court, Newhart, Little House on the Prairie, The Golden Girls, Hazel, and Mad About You. He also played the role of the minister who married J. R. and Sue Ellen Ewing for their second marriage on Dallas. He also made guest appearances on F Troop.

Some 10 years earlier, Baer played a closet racist in a Christmas episode of Bewitched. The episode "Sisters at Heart" aired on ABC on December 24, 1970, in which he played the role of Mr. Brockway, the owner of a toy-manufacturing firm.  (Wikipedia)
