Star Trek original TV series (1966-1969) actor William Schallert may resemble Helen Hunt & another actor, actress or group from some movie, TV series, etc. I was not quite sure of.
Connections: - Hunt & Shallert's acting carreers crossed several times, they appeared in separate episodes of the same series including Highway To Heaven (1984-1989) & voiced characters in the same episode of animated episode of Galtar and the Golden Lance: S1.E12 "Falca - Priestess of Prey" in 1985.
- Schallert played Under-Secretary Nilz Baris in a memorable episode of Star Trek (S.2 E.15) The Trouble with Tribbles in 1967. A scene occurs in this episode at around 8 minutes 44 seconds where the Tribble trader Cyrano Jones un-fastens part of his jacket held together by velcro or a hook and loop strip. Interestingly, Hunt's character Lynne, in Girls Just Want To Have Fun in 1985 makes a comment in the opening about velcro being one of the coolest inventions of the 20th century. She rides the bus with Catholic school mate Janey (Sarah Jessica Parker) and removes the sleeves from her uniform (which are attached by by velcro).

00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:05In this video, I'll take a look at actor William Schellert.
00:09He appeared in dozens of television shows and films in an acting career spanning over 60 years.
00:17He was in four episodes of Dick Powell's Zangray Theater, the CBS Western anthology, which ran between 1956 and 1961.
00:27Schellert was in two episodes of Zangray Theater with actor Dabs Greer, who played different characters.
00:35These were Season 2, Episode 27, Handful of Ashes, broadcast in 1958.
00:41June Lockhart, also in this.
00:43Season 3, Episode 27, Checkmate, which went out in 1959.
00:49James Whitmore and David Niven were in this.
00:52And he was in nine episodes of Death Valley Days.
00:55Another Western anthology, which ran between 1952 and 1970.
01:01For example, Schellert was in Season 10, Episode 21, entitled The Breaking Point, broadcast in 1962 with future Star Trek
01:10actors, Grace Lee Whitney and DeForest Kelly.
01:13Also in Season 10, Episode 17, Justice at Jackson Creek, broadcast in 1962 with Bill Bixby and Dub Taylor.
01:23So I took a look at William Schellert.
01:25I thought he may resemble actress Helen Hunt and additionally another actor, actress, or group from some movie, TV series,
01:33etc.
01:34I was not quite sure of.
01:35As it turns out, Hunt and Schellert appeared in several TV series together, separate episodes, including Highway to Heaven, the
01:45NBC TV fantasy drama, broadcast between 1984 and 1989, starring Michael Landon.
01:52Helen Hunt was in a two-part episode entitled Thoroughbreds.
01:58These comprised Season 1, Episodes 24 and 25, broadcast in 1985.
02:04And also in these, Noble Willingham.
02:07William Schellert was in a two-parter, Man's Best Friend, which comprised Season 4, Episodes 1 and 2, broadcast in
02:161987.
02:16Also in these, Stan Ivar.
02:19William Schellert played Undersecretary Nils Barris in the second season episode of the classic Star Trek TV series, The Trouble
02:28with Tribbles, Episode 15.
02:30This was also William Campbell's second appearance in Star Trek.
02:36He played Trelane in the Squire of Gothos in Season 1.
02:40Yeah, there's an interesting scene in this episode, and it's at the 8 minute, 44 second mark.
02:47Actor Stanley Adams, who plays Serrano Jones, is attempting to trade some goods on the K-7 Deep Space Station.
02:55You'll notice that part of his costume is held together by Velcro.
03:00And I thought this interesting because in the opening of Girls Just Want to Have Fun in 1985, there's also
03:10a scene involving Velcro on the bus with Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt's characters.
03:17Actually, Hunt, who plays Lynn, makes a comment about Velcro being one of the coolest inventions of the 20th century.
03:25My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
03:28There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
03:31I analyze these for possible references to future media.
03:34These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams.
03:38Hidden in the subtext of the work in question, I also use an unconventional method where I look at the
03:44likenesses of the actors.
03:48And what I've found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items, and
03:54show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities
04:00that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
