Special Guest Star:  William Schallert William Schallert is the son of Edwin Schallert, drama editor of the "Los Angeles Times" and the dean of West Coast critics. He became interested in an acting career while at UCLA in 1942 and upon graduation, worked in the Circle Theater (eventually becoming one of its owners). His film debut was in The Foxes of Harrow (1947). One of his most significant film roles was as Walter Matthau’s wise-cracking deputy tracking Kirk Douglas’ outlaw in the postmodern western Lonely are the Brave (1962) He can also be seen In the Heat of the Night (1966), Will Penny (1968) and the John Sturgis OK corral epic Hour of the Gun (1966). He is most known for numerous TV roles and hundreds of voice-over performances. TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" (2004 issue) lists Schallert’s character Martin Lane, from the The Patty Duke Show (1963), as #39 of TV’s greatest dads. Of all his abundant TV characters it is the role of Nilz Barris, Federation Undersecretary of Agricultural Affairs, in the classic Star Trek episode The Trouble With Tribbles which he still receives the most recognition. This character’s spineless nature briefly typecast the actor into similar roles. In the 70s, 80s & 90s he continued to make a myriad of TV appearances and was regular on The Waltons, as Stanley Perkins.  Eventually Schallert became the president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1979-1981. He still stays active with SAG projects and does not believe in retirement.
