Many Star Trek actors

Wow! I just saw this movie and noticed there were many actors in it that went on to appear in Star Trek: The Original Series. The most obvious was, of course, DeForest Kelly(Dr. McCoy). The others were guest stars: Frank Gorshin (Bele), Gary Lockwood(Gary Mitchell), Roy Jenson(Cloud William), Whit Bissell(Lurry), Paul Comi(Lt. Stiles), and Roy Sickner(stuntman)....OK, I did look that last one up.
Anyone else know of another movie that had more Star Trek actors than this one?

Yes! First I ve noticed DeForest Kelley(who later became legendary as doctor McCoy in Star Trek)and GARY LOCKWOOD which is my favourite actor,who played commander Gary Mitchell in the greatest episode of the original series "Where no man has gone before"...even if his greatest acting performance was as astronaut Frank Poole in Stanley Kubrick sci-fi epic 2001:A Space Odyssey!

The legendary astronaut of 2001:A Space Odyssey started his career playing a tough villain in this classic western movie, just cool. In his long and respectable career Lockwood often outshone as the bad guy even if he is remembered by everyone as the brave astroanut Frank Poole in Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi epic 2001! Just a superb actor!

Here's another western with TREK stars: 1968's "Firecreek" starring Henry Fonda & Jimmy Stewart. It has our beloved Gary Lockwood(Gary Mitchell) along with Morgan Woodward(Cpt. Tracey & Dr. Van Gelder) and BarBara Luna(Marlena Moreau)

Check Henry Fonda's bio in 1973 he did a TV movie "The Alpha Caper" with Mr Spock
Leonard Nimoy and "A piece of the Action's" Jo Jo Cracko Vic Tayback
1950's Sci Fi favorite Kenneth Tobey also starred. Along With future JR Larry Hagman.

Tayback was also a bad guy on T.J. Hooker with Shatner.

Dee Forest was a bad guy in a number of 1960s westerns.

He also played a very fine role in "Where Love Has Gone" with Bette Davis & Susan Hayward he was Susan's agent.

You'll see a number of Star Trek: TOS players in Hour of the Gun, starring James Garner and Jason Robards, as well.

To Kill a Mockingbird is packed with ST:TOS actors, and although Brock Peters didn't appear on TOS he did appear in 2 ST films and was a regular cast member of DS9.
