14. ‘Who loves ya, Baby?’
James Doohan (right) appears alongside future Kojak star Telly Savalas and William Campbell in Gene Roddenberry’s 1971 dark comedy Pretty Maids All in a Row.

15. Killer wabbits!
DeForest Kelley (second from left) appears alongside Stuart Whitman in the 1972 horror film Night of the Lepus, in which a small town is terrorized by giant mutant rabbits. In one of his rare post-Star Trek film roles, Kelley plays a skeptical scientist caught in the carnage. Though the movie became an object of ridicule, it remains a quirky fan favorite and perhaps one of the explanations for why Kelley didn’t seek out acting opportunities; he just wasn’t interested in what was being offered to him.
