1955 science fiction film This Island Earth actor Jeff Morrow may bear a resemblance to movie director Steven Spielberg & another actor, actress or group from some movie, TV series, etc. I was not quite sure of. Connections: - I rewatched This Island Earth after a line in classic Star Trek episode All Our Yesterdays caught my attention. A scene in this has Kirk speak to an alien, The Prosecutor, who asks where he is from. Kirk responds (paraphrasing) by saying "An Island called Earth". - Spielberg was instrumental in Star Trek coming back in 2009, convincing director J.J. Abrams to re-invision the series for a new audience. - Rhodes Reason (brother of This Island Earth star Rex Reason) was in 1968 classic Trek episode Bread & Circuses. Ian Wolfe was in this one and All Our Yesterdays. - Rhodes Reason was in King Kong Escapes in 1967. Kong made a cameo in Spielberg's 2018 virtual reality film Ready Player One.

00:05In this video, I'll take a look at actor Jeff Morrow.
00:09He played an alien emissary, Exeter, in the 1955 American science fiction film, This Island, Earth,
00:18directed by Joseph Newman and Jack Arnold, based on the 52 novel by Raymond F. Jones.
00:25The cast included Faith Demure, Rex Reason, Russell Johnson, and Lance Fuller.
00:33While watching this film recently, I could not help but remark Morrow's striking resemblance to movie director Steven Spielberg.
00:41I thought he also may resemble actor Robin Williams.
00:45Yeah, This Island, Earth, a very interesting film.
00:48It looks like something that was made in a future time period, but using stuff, actors, and settings from 1955.
00:59Yeah, listen to some of the dialogue in this movie.
01:02Alright, connections.
01:03I think Star Trek's a huge connection here.
01:06I decided to watch This Island, Earth again after I heard a line in classic Star Trek TV series episode, All Our Yesterdays.
01:17This was season 3, episode 23, broadcast in 1969.
01:22Marriott Hartley guest starred as Zara Beth, and Ian Wolfe as Mr. Atos.
01:28In a scene in this, Captain Kirk is asked by the prosecutor where he's from, and he mentions an island.
01:36The prosecutor further inquires, what is this island?
01:40And Kurt responds, it's called Earth.
01:42Actor Ian Wolfe was earlier in Star Trek episode, Bread and Circuses, season 2, number 25, in 1968.
01:52Other guest stars in this, Logan Ramsey and Rhodes Reason, the younger brother of This Island, Earth's Rex Reason.
02:02Rhodes Reason was also among the cast of giant monster film, King Kong Escapes, in 1967.
02:10A joint Japanese-American co-production.
02:14Others in this cast, Linda Miller, Mie Hama, Akira Takarada.
02:19Links to director Steven Spielberg.
02:22Spielberg was instrumental in the reboot of the Star Trek franchise, and convinced director J.J. Abrams to helm the 2009 movie project,
02:35which starred Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Leonard Nimoy, Winona Ryder, Simon Pegg, Bruce Greenwood, John Cho, Ben Cross, Carl Urban, Anton Yelchin, and Eric Bana.
02:47And Giant Ape, King Kong, makes a cameo in Spielberg's Ready Player One from 2018.
02:57One of many pop culture references included in this film about a future virtual reality video game.
03:07My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
03:09There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
03:12I analyze these for possible references to future media.
03:15These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams, hidden in the subtext of the work in question.
03:22I also use an unconventional method where I look at the likenesses of the actors.
03:29What I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
03:35and show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities
03:41that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
