Been watching the Francis The Talking Mule movies from the '50's lately, and was tickled pink to spot a very young Leonard Nimoy in a bit part. Along with a young David Janssen and James Best. That's right, The Fugitive, Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and Spock all in the same movie!

The only other 50's film I've seen Nimoy in is the Republic serial Zombies of the Stratosphere.

Outside The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, have you ever spotted a future Trek actor in other tv shows and movies?

On a related note, I was watching one of the later seasons of Mission: Impossible a while back, when Nimoy was a regular. There's an episode where he's in an apartment, and a Saurian Brandy bottle is on a table. Nimoy even glances at it! That had to be some sort of inside joke.
