Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, DeForest Kelley guest stars in "The Riley Brand," episode 23 of the single season of A Man Called Shenandoah (original air date Feb 21, 1966).
Kelley plays a hand on Julia Riley's ranch in Wyoming. She believes the amnesiac Shenandoah may be her long-lost brother, who went missing when they were children. The foreman is a poor relation, a distant cousin who hopes to marry Julia and become half-owner of the ranch, and Kelley assists him in his plans to get rid of Shenandoah.
Other Trek connections:
Elisha Cook, Jr., AKA Samuel T. Cogley, Captain Kirk's lawyer in the Star Trek episode "Court Martial," plays a livery stable owner.
The scheming ranch foreman is played by Warren Stevens, who went on to play Rojan, the leader of the Kelvans in the Star Trek episode "By Any Other Name."
The director of "The Riley Brand" is Jud Taylor, who also directed five Season Three episodes of Star Trek.
Anyone have hypnowarren fic recommendations where it’s just about them? I’m tired of scrolling the tag and finding out that they’re a background couple to Leo and his rabbit loser boyfriend.
