A member of Spinal Tap on Classic Star Trek

[Earth 2 Chris]

I think it's him. Looks like him, and Mike may not like much of anything, but he's never just made up stuff.

Remember, most of us were much more handsome and fit in our 20s.

Well, I must confess that I too was a bit skeptical on first mention, but if he had the early-60s bit parts, AND made the mention on Letterman, then that eliminates ALL doubt.

Great Find, Type1kirk..!!!

Ok, here's some more screen caps from Star Trek's Day Of The Dove.

Must be the angle...or Takei and Doohan were just puny midgets.

Takei is tiny and slight

Doohan was short I am 6'1 and I towered over him when I met him. actually the whole TOS cast is short except for Nimoy. But he was a dday vet so he was tough as nails

[Hector]

...and what about the Kirk Douglass chin on him in that Trek photo?

Gone!

[Hector]

Harry Shearer is listed as 5' 6"...which in reality is more like 5' 4".

In that Trek pic...he towers over those two...and man...look at that chiseled chest of his, lol.

Actually, when you look at the eyes (one wide open, the other lazy), the nose, crooked mouth, and the general facial expression it sorta does look like him.

That picture might be the effect of a odd camera angle and lighting. He could also be wearing a pair of "Shatners special boots" that had lifts built in them......Plus, Doohan and Takei were hardly tall themselves. Doohan was listed at 5' 8"...which in Hollywood means he was probably only 5'6" or so. I saw Walter Koenig at a sci fi show in Calgary back in the eighties, and he's just a wee little fellar himself...I'm 5'8" and a bit and I towered over him. Takei is about the same height...I'm guessing 5'4" or so??

If that is him its kind of funny....that pic shows two of the best "voice men" in Hollywood!

I think it's him. He, and most of the other security guards in the episode are not credited. I am not surprised that info on it is scarce. Harry's most famous work is either voicing on the Simpsons or wearing a wig and beard in Spinal Tap. And I am sure that it could remain "stealth" considering all those things.

So how did you manage to get this picture?

That picture is just a screen cap I grabbed from the episode on youtube.

Just view the episode about 1/3 through and you'll see it.

Mike,

I'm sorry to be a dissenter here but I don't think that pic is him. Maybe he is in the episode but I don't think that is the correct pic. He is a short guy, I think shorter than Shatner.

[Hector]

Nope,

I only know this because I remember him saying it on Letterman all those years ago.

I tried to get some more info, but I can't find any either.

Cover up! Conspiracy!

I believe you...but I can't find anything about him being on Star Trek.

Got a link?
