What was the best guest-acting role on TOS, and do you have any runner-ups?
I’m going with William Windom:

Staving off reality:

Doing a villain turn by seizing control:

Matt’s heroic sacrifice:

Finally, one of the most nail-biting scenes ever:

Personal notes: across all TV and media, I’ve rarely seen a character go from totally sympathetic, to total heel-turn villain, to total martyr like that.
In terms of ST series, maybe Dukat from DS…?
Runner-ups?
- Mark Lenard as the Romulan commander
- Robert Walker as “Charlie X”
- Roger C. Carmel as “Harry Mudd”
Daggit, I know I’m forgetting some actors, here…
