DeForest Kelley actually had to overcome typecasting to have the opportunity to play Dr. McCoy. Before Star Trek, Kelley had been typically playing heavies, so the casters were afraid that he would not be accepted by viewers as a good guy. So, yeah. He almost missed his chance at being typecast because he had been typecast.

Well ... he did slap a pregnant woman before forcibly examining her in season 1. I've never thought of him as good or bad, but rather painfully dated in an cringeworthy patriarchal way. Going into the seventies his character would not have done well.

I met James Doohan a number of times. In my life I’ve meet dozens and dozens of celebs and James was without doubt one of the nicest, most hard working people I have ever met. He was so kind to everyone and always made them feel special. One of the times I saw him he was signing autographs in a video store that was celebrating one of the new Star Trek films. It was in the middle of summer in the Washington DC area. There was a huge queue out the door and he insisted on staying well past the time stated and talked to every single person. It was a miserable hot day, even in the store, and the poor lad was exhausted yet he took his time with every fan, never rushed anyone and had us all laughing the whole time. He was so lovely and everyone left with a smile on their face. What a man.

DeForest Kelley (and others) will always be a hero to me. I remember reading him saying that he always wanted to be a doctor, to help people; he couldn't make it, and therefore became an actor. As an actor playing a doctor on Star Trek, he said he received so much fan mail of people being encouraged to enter the medical profession because of his role. That alone makes him a hero to me (again there are many others too).

Point of order on Dorn and Star Trek. He was a regular on CHIPS in the 70's. He did 60 episodes and he was type cast as a cop. That is why he handled what happened after trek better than others and enjoyed more. HE worked more after Trek than he did after CHIPS

@@Vulcanerd Unfortunately, while I adore Dorn's hustle to do the makeup and play a deadpan character, i cannot stand Worf. He is a terrible father and just plain idiotic to a fault. He is fun to watch when the episode is about anyone else but for the love of god don't make him or klingons the center of an episode. He is worse in earlier seasons because he wasn't really given any role other than to be the red shirt that survived the episode. And then it got worse with Worf being denied every time he opened his mouth or getting tossed around by every strong alien. While it may have been humorous, it did little to make his character endearing.

Frakes thinking he is a modest actor makes sense. His injuries made it impossible for him to do action despite the fact that his role was to be the James Kirk who beamed down to planets while Picard took the more realistic role of sitting in a chair giving orders. The fact that he found his calling as a director and host is a blessing. He did not have to keep doing a job that was taking a tole on his body.

I'm fortunate enough to remember many of the "Trek" actors in other roles, before and after Trek. Nimoy as "Paris", Shatner as "Archie Goodwin", Kelley in Western's, Spinner on Night Court, and many more. Special shout out to Koenig, who (I think) nailed it in "The Starlost" and "Babylon 5" (Okay, both SciFi,). And he'll always have a special place in my heart as I sat and talked to him and his family, in San Francisco (in the early 80s), and I (a big Trek fan since the original show) had no idea who he was. Days later at a SciFi convention I learned the truth. He wasn't "Chekov" at all in voice or appearance. As always thank you so very much for the videos.

Dorn had the right idea. He knew he wasn't going to get anything as good ever again. I'm not surprised he was the person most willing to reprise his role on another show. I heard he even tried getting a worf show and worf movie series made after Nemesis. It also explains why he was in the TNG movies despite his character being posted on a space station light-years away. I actually never liked Worf as much as other characters in TNG but i noticed that he became almost as famous as Data and Picard and i'm sure that was because of his willingness to reprise the role and jump through hoops like makeup and double duty shooting movies and TV shows. Only Nana Visitor was ever as eager as him. Very ironic considering the character he played was the complete opposite.

In 2016 I attended Star Trek's 50 Anniversary in New York. Nimoy's son Adam hosted a panel and took questions from the audience. I was selected to speak and told him how much I also loved his father as the host of the investigative show "In Search Of'" on TV. I then asked if Adam or even Eugene Roddenberry (who was also on the panel) would ever consider reviving that show. Adam was quick to shut me down making sure I knew that his father actually hated doing In Search Of and it was nothing more than a paycheck to him. That was very sad to hear on my end.

You were partially right about Michael Kenmore, but actually he was a wraith, turned human, turned part wraith, then turned human again, then turned part wraith again. It wasn't until the second time that he became as resentful as he did throughout the remainder of the show. After that, the only human that he was at least partially tolerant of was Teyla, but even that was for his own self-serving reasons.

Sir Patrick Stewart was in a show aimed at a younger audience as the leader of the bad guys holding a rich kids school for ransom ("masterminds"). And our protagonist is just throwing up obstacles and pranks to slow them down/ run them off. At one point he trips the sprinkler system on the room their in and with a borderline deadpan delivery Stewart says "I'm generally against violence, but I may just have to kill someone", it was perfect for the scene.

I remember seeing him in a few westerns before Star Trek but after Bones McCoy I don't think I saw him in anything else.

The thing I don't understand about typecasting is if there's like a drama I'm not sure about but someone like Nana Visitor is the lead I'll watch it. I'm interested in getting in to westerns and the first thing I'm going to do is look up what the TOS actors were in and start with those.

Yup, typecasting has affected famous people throughout history. The was one Italian fellow who's passion was Wine Coolers. When he wanted to go nationwide he got massive backlash from the public. Members of the drinking public would say things such as "Lenny's Wine Coolers? A drink from that guy who painted that picture of the lady with the strange smile?" "No thanks man, I'll stick with Bartles and Jaymes, they're gonna be famous forever!" /S

Patrick Stewart was "cast" as prof. Xavier in a 1993 comic book magazine for a hypothetical live action xmen movie.

There are still some mysteries to be explored. For example: Why did Scotty and Bones grew a beard? And why did Bones shave it, but Scotty never did so later?

I wonder if anyone here has listened to or seen the live stage show that had Leonard Nimoy and John DeLancie playing Spock and Q, respectively. It's a very funny show.

No mention of I Am Weasel for Michael Dorn? 😭 Also, just coincidentally, I was rewatching The Mentalist recently and John Billingsley and Connor Trineer both appeared in one episode together, then Linda Park was in the following episode.

This video is supposed to be about people who suffered from typecasting, but while I would say the ones who really couldn't get any other role probably did suffer from it, some of the ones on this list seem to have embraced it and made it work for them, and that don't belong in this list because they did not suffer. This video should be titled Star Trek actors who were typecast or there should be two separate lists, 10 who suffered from typecasting and 10 who turned casting to their advantage.

Shatner avoided this, sort of, with TJ Hooker... even though he's still playing an authority figure.

I remember reading in a coffee table TNG book that Michael Westmore got the makeup process for Worf down from about three hours at the start of filming TNG season 1, down to only about 30 minutes for his even more detailed makeup in the end of Deep Space Nine and the later TNG films.
