The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I asked Gemini for a list of ALL the TOS cast members who are still living and it gave a bunch of the more famous stars:

• Clint Howard (age 67): Famously played the alien child Balok (voiced by Walker Edmiston) in the Season 1 episode "The Corbomite Maneuver". [1]
• Gary Lockwood (age 89): Played Lt. Commander Gary Mitchell, Captain Kirk's friend who gains god-like powers in the show's second pilot episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before". [1, 2]
• Barbara Babcock (age 89): Played Mea 3 in "A Taste of Armageddon" and provided the uncredited, elegant voices for the alien computers/entities Trelane's Mother ("The Squire of Gothos") and the Beta 5 computer ("Assignment: Earth"). [1]
• Sandra Lee Gimpel (age 86): Played the distinctively large-brained Talosian alien creature in the original pilot episode, "The Cage". [1, 2]
• Sean Kenney (age 82): Played Lieutenant DePaul in two episodes, but is most famous among fans for physically portraying the severely disabled, wheelchair-bound version of Captain Christopher Pike in "The Menagerie". [1]
• Anthony Call (age 86): Played the hot-headed navigator Lt. Dave Bailey in "The Corbomite Maneuver". [1]
• Andrea Dromm (age 85): Played Yeoman Smith in "Where No Man Has Gone Before". [1]
• David L. Ross (age 87): Played Lieutenant Galloway, a recurring security guard/redshirt who holds the rare distinction of being killed by an alien in one episode ("The Omega Glory") and mysteriously appearing alive again in another. [1]

Clint Howard, Gary Lockwood (also of 2001 fame!) and Anthony Call I remember well. The others not so much.
