Ian Wolfe who played Robert the Butler later appeared as Mr Atoz in the classic Star Trek "Episode: TOS 078 - All Our Yesterdays".

He shares the same credits as actor Reggie Nalder who played the role of assasin in Alfred Hitchcocks "The Man Who Knew To Much" (circa 1956)who later played Ambassador Shras the Andorian in the classic TOS episode "Journey To Babel"

Gene Roddenbury must have been a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock.

"Gene Roddenbury must have been a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock."

Or they were two actors that needed a gig.

Ian Wolfe had two appearances on Star Trek, the original series.

Possibly outdone only by Mary Wickes, Wolfe seems to have had a remarkable career. I first saw him as Hirsch the butler on WKRP in Cincinnati, then was surprised to see him as the minister in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

the earliest I saw him was in Mutiny on the Bounty (1935), then he had a rather amusing appearance on Cheers in the '80s.

And his Star Trek appearances are delightful as well.

I watched Foregin Correspondent this weekend, but didn't notice Wolfe, but I'm planning on watching Saboteur later on.
