Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Jonathan Frakes guest stars in "Ghost of a Chance," episode 2 of the eighth season of Quincy, M.E. (original air date October 6, 1982).

Frakes plays a young surgical resident working under an eminent heart surgeon played by Hollywood legend José Ferrer, who is padding his billing by booking more procedures than he can possibly do himself, and then leaving the actual surgery to be done by inexperienced, unsupervised residents without the knowledge of the patients.

Other Trek connections under the cut:

I am guessing you are asking me for recycled costumes from Star Trek? If not, please write me back and clarify if you had another question. 

You can find some here, here, here and here. I have a lot more costumes and props from Star Trek to post, so there will be more eventually.

My favorite one though is the one below - Phillip Pine as General Green in the 1969 Star Trek episode The Savage Curtain wears a red jumpsuit that would later be used by Robin Williams as Mork in Mork and Mindy in 1978.

Murder by Contract (1958) Irving Lerner

From the studio that brought us Roger Corman, it's THE PHANTOM FROM 10,000 LEAGUES (1955) featuring Kent Taylor, Cathy Downs and a sad mutated sea serpent!

The film includes our first female suit actor Norma Hanson and a few other easter eggs... but will this horror be "excellent" or will it sputter out to sea?

"What went wrong? Was it the extension of time?"

"There's no point in recriminations, Colonel, or trying to place the blame."

"Oh, come on Doctor, I want straight answers not evasions!"
