imo the better game in that case is "actors who made it big who were in a L&O episode years ago"
― mh, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 21:31 (six years ago) link
I’m confused.

I think we're talking about people who were already known actors or even famous actors who then appeared in Star Trek
― mh, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 22:18 (six years ago) link
although if we're going for "people who were later famous who were in a Star Trek episode" it's probably an easier task

Karl Urban is the king of this as far as I'm concerned, both because he's in everything and also because (IMHO) he inhabits his version of McCoy so well that you really have to close your eyes to remember that he was Eomer from LOTR. Part of me wishes they had cast him as someone more meaningful in the MCU than Skurge the Executioner, the same part of me that ruminates that he's too big now to play a companion on Dr. Who.
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 7 December 2017 01:07 (six years ago) link
he's always the bad guy from bourne 2 for me
― mookieproof, Thursday, 7 December 2017 01:11 (six years ago) link
well yeah which character did you think I had in mind as the archetype for his Dr Who companion role that he's never going to get to do
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 7 December 2017 01:16 (six years ago) link
i . . . don't actually know what it means to be a dr who companion

I don’t really count the reboot movies because every single lead actor has been in eight million thingsif they wanted to be serious about serializing they’d have picked outsiders they could hitch to contractual obligations indefinitely

I respect your perspectiveI actually expected a loud chorus of nerd boos for picking a reboot movie guybut since I’m at it, Zoe Saldana

hard to beat Karl Urban’s steadfast movie beat, especially in the franchise space

but, he wasn’t the good role but Chris Pine was in a best picture nominee

would have been super cringe but Kirstie Allie reprising Saavik alongside Captain Fraiser might have been worth it if they could work out how Bebe Neuworth's alien groupie character got stranded on a movie-era ship at the same time.

Joan Collins was a fairly big, brief deal in the '50s before she turned up on OST's most lionized episode. Then she got huge again in the '80s.

also, the celebrated James Redd fave 'Mr Atoz' from TOS had some fuckin' career: Mutiny on the Bounty, Rebel without a Cause, THX-1138, Reds, couple Hitchcock films, "Cheers"...

gary lockwood appearing in both ST and 2001 within the span of a few years makes me wonder if general audiences already had the sense of how cheesy the special effects, set/costume design were by comparison.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 7 December 2017 18:59 (six years ago) link
that ST pilot Lockwood appeared in was shot in '65, I think -- probably immediately before Kubrick began production.
But the disparity of time and budget couldn't be more vast.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 December 2017 19:07 (six years ago) link
(i mean, Kubrick and Douglas Trumbull pioneered effects for 2001)
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 December 2017 19:08 (six years ago) link
The Prisoner probably had a comparable or even smaller budget and has dated much better. Too bad McGoohan's TNG cameo never panned out.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 7 December 2017 19:14 (six years ago) link
sure, The Prisoner had a very imaginative and well-executed design. No space travel tho, and i'm sure UK vs US TV were entirely different games productionwise.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 December 2017 19:21 (six years ago) link
That Prisoner finale had a biiiiit of space travel. Could you imagine how awesome a spinoff series starring McGoohan would have been? Deep Station Zebra! Dueling speechifying with Patrick Stewart!
