Unseen & Epic: 49 Jaw-Dropping Pics of the Original Star Trek Cast That’ll Blow Your Mind From ’69 to ’79!
35. ‘Baa Baa Black Sheep’
Before or between his time on Star Trek, George Takei took on various guest roles in film and television. Here, he appears as a Japanese soldier opposite Robert Conrad’s Col. Greg “Pappy” Boyington in the WWII-set series Baa Baa Black Sheep (later retitled Black Sheep Squadron). The show aired on NBC from 1976 to 1978. This image captures a tense scene with Takei and another soldier flanking a bare-chested Conrad under hot studio lights and faux jungle surroundings.
36. Exploring the unknown
Between Star Trek adventures, Leonard Nimoy took on a different kind of role—as the thoughtful host of the syndicated docuseries In Search Of…, which ran from 1976 to 1982. Each week, Nimoy guided viewers through mysteries ranging from ancient astronauts and Bigfoot sightings to lost civilizations and psychic phenomena. Seen here in a Season 5 publicity still for the episode “UFO Coverups,” which aired September 20, 1980, Nimoy brought his distinctive voice and quiet authority to the show, making even the most speculative subjects feel just within reach.
