  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Lots, especially for post-70's audiences watching the original series. Notably including Leslie Nielsen pre-pratfall phase and both Spock and Kirk as arrogant murderers.
    • Walter Koenig also appeared as a crime scene detective in the first William Shatner episode.
    • Pat Morita played a butler in Etude In Black
    • Jamie Lee Curtis had a brief cameo in season 5 as a waitress. Just earlier in that same season, Janet Leigh, her mother, played the killer.
    • It's also fun to play this with recurring actors throughout the movies. One person who plays either a random police officer or just a bystander in one episode might be the victim or accomplice in another. Sometimes, as with Dabney Coleman, a police officer in one and then the killer in another.
