In this video, I explore the careers of Ted Cassidy and Richard Kiel with fun facts, fights, and what I believe may be the Mandela effect surrounding Star Trek and these two actors.
I’ll explore a little behind one of Star Trek’s most famous bloopers scene ever featuring William Shatner as Captain Kirk. Was it Cassidy or Kiel and was he even on that episode? Also, I look at the similarities in Cassidy and Kiel’s career including their connection to the Incredible Hulk, classic sci-fi and sitcom TV, and just which western stars were bad enough to take these two giants down, at least on screen anyway.
Ted Cassidy’s big break into show business was that of the spooky butler on the Addams Family.
Richard Kiel was, of course, known most famously as the villain from the Roger Moore James Bond movies.
I also look at a funny prank that Ted Cassidy, Gene Roddenberry, and William Shatner did to a poor salesman while Cassidy was shooting a Star Trek episode.
