The late, great DeForest Kelly is in Night of the Lepus?
"Damn your rabbits, Spock!"
Indeed he is, the poor bastard. So is Janet Leigh of "Psycho" fame. I always pictured them during filming, taking a cigarette break between takes and saying to each other "What the hell am I doing in a movie about KILLER BUNNIES? My agent is SO dead!" :)

This was really begging for William Shatner.
shareShatner had been in more than a few toilets by this time.
Let it be unsaid: insignificance is the locus of true increpation.
Roger that. Was it "Kingdom of the Spiders", or "Empire of the Ants"? Or "Equinox"? Or how 'bout "The Wildcats Ride", I think it was, about a bunch of middle-aged professionals who take a motorcycle tour and get mixed up with some bikers, something like that. An actor's gotta eat, so he was killing time, till "TJ Hooker" came along...
A post-script...
It was "Pray for the Wildcats", a made-for-TV movie (back in the heyday of made-for-TV movies", and "Kingdom of the Spiders" was made in '77, so I can't cite it as something Shatner had done, by the time Kelly was in the rabbit movie. But I think generally, the point is the same.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Pretty much all star trek guys had a lemon or two after the show ended. Shatner had Kingdom Of The Spiders, Kelly had this and James Doohan had Satan Bug and depending on how you feel about the 70's version of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers even Leonard Nimoy had one too tho that wasn't a front running role really.
shareI don't think Invasion really belongs in the same category as those campy b movies. Even if you didn't like it, it was still well made technically and had some money invested in it.

Not only is DeForest Kelly of Dr. McCoy Star Trek fame in this film, but so is Paul Fix who played Dr. Piper (the Enterprise's earlier ship's doctor seen in the episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before"). Yes, two different ship doctors from the Starship Enterprise were in "Night of the Lepus". I need more hypo...
