With Shatner already wearing lifts to increase his 5’9” height, he probably wouldn’t have wanted a 6’4” guy towering over him in any case.

2023-04-24 11:39:01 +0000 UTCI think one of the many reasons Chekov was brought onto the show was to have a person take over Spock's bridge science, computer, and scanning station when Spock had beamed down to the planet. The other person that usually sat there was a silent character named Lieutenant Brent. He was played by Frank da Vinci in about 39 episodes, but the same actor also played a character named after the actor by the name of Vinci in about 19 episodes. This actor also played about 8 other background characters as needed. Da Vinci was a stand-in and double for Anthony Perkins in Alfred Hitchcock's classic movie Psycho which was originally written by Robert Bloch who wrote three original Star Trek series episodes. Da Vinci worked as Leonard Nimoy's stand-in and background and stunt performer on the show and continued working as Leonard Nimoy's stand-in for two seasons on Mission: Impossible.

2023-04-24 02:13:54 +0000 UTCIn 1992, (Lincoln) was officially recognized by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame as an Outstanding American in the sport. A wrestling-obsessed town called Lincoln in Nebraska was also named after the President...following his assassination... The National Wrestling Hall of Fame has also honored other Presidential Grapplers such as George Washington, William Howard Taft, and Teddy Roosevelt. A mural of Lincoln's match with (Jack) Armstrong adorns one of the walls in the museum's Lincoln Lobby... It's annoying that the Lincoln actor was not 6 feet 4 inches tall, but I guess only so many such actors were available. One tends to forget about the height difference after awhile anyway.

2023-04-24 01:37:38 +0000 UTCOver the years, I have come to consider this to be just about the most underrated episode. A lot of people like me probably first saw this episode as a kid and probably thought -- Hey, it's Abraham Lincoln! Years later, we might have thought what was that crazy episode with Abraham Lincoln? That seemed silly. However, as an adult I realize it is really a morality play pitting Good against Evil. How would a creature in outer space be able to understand and learn the concept of good versus evil without a morality play such as this? When is it ever proper for Good to lie, steal, or kill? Humanity and cultures still grapple with these questions. A morality play like this might be needed to teach a child or a computer what Good and Evil really are. I seem to remember the combat sequence being better than what you showed, but I know that you can't show everything. Weirdly, I guess Leonard Nimoy didn't like this Vulcan episode, but I don't know that he really liked any third season episodes. Colonel Green's outfit was later reused by Robin Williams as Mork's uniform in the 1970s television series Mork and Mindy.
