I had forgotten about Jean Simmons being in TNG. But did you notice that Peter is played by Klaatu?

reply

I don't recall seeing Ansara in this, but have you forgotten Torin Thatcher, as marplon in "The Return Of The Archons"?
And, from the sequel, Demetrius and the Gladiators, William Marshall as Glycon, who would be Dr. Daystrom in "The Ultimate Computer."

Michael Ansara is briefly seen as Judas, who betrayed Jesus when Demetrius seeks to warn Jesus. Was Ansara in a Star Trek as well?

Indeed he was! He played "Kang" (a Klingon) in TOS, Voyager and Deep Space Nine:

R.I.P. Michael Ansara (Judas)

Before he portrayed the iconic 'Cochise' on TV's "Broken Arrow" & tough Klingons on Star Trek, Michael Ansara played brief but powerful role of 'Judas' Demetrius meets looking for Jesus.

Ansara had an amazing acting career, mastering all kinds of unusual roles. Sadly, his long life ended this week. He was 91. Take a moment to read his vast Filmography here @ IMDB.

Great information in this thread!

Add to the list Albert Cavens "All Our Yesterdays" and Torin Thatcher in "The Return of the Archons".

We can probably also add some set pieces and wardrobe that was also used in TOS especially in "Plato's Stepchildren".
