Morgan Woodward (Capitão Ron Tracy) - Não
A Glória Ômega
Director McEveety said "Morgan Woodward was the one I used mostly [in various shows], because he was such an interesting character, I thought. He gave such dimension to a character. He could play crazy and he could play very nice. And, by saying dimension, I'm saying you could get elements of both at the same time. Good and bad. Real." Woodward had previously appeared on Star Trek as Simon Van Gelder in "Dagger of the Mind", which was also directed by McEveety. The two men knew each other from Gunsmoke. By the time the western left the air in 1975, Woodward held the record for the most guest appearances on the screen, with 19.

Não há indicação de que Woodward tenha sido escolhido por qualquer razão análoga da vida real. Além disso, considere que o episódio The Omega Glory , produzido e exibido na segunda temporada, foi originalmente escrito como uma das opções para o segundo piloto (seguindo The Cage )
