DeForest Kelley, Steve Canyon, “Operation Jettison” (1958)

I have to imagine the conversation between the producer and casting director here went something like this:

Producer: Ok, we need a really, really good-looking guy to dress up in a hypermasculine costume and look incredibly hot while being barely visible because of terrible lighting. You know anyone like that?

Casting: *Turns off The Law and Jake Wade and cracks knuckles* Boy, do I.

DeForest Kelley, The Bold Ones: The New Doctors, “Giants Never Kneel” (1970)

De’s role in this is small, so confession, I didn’t watch beyond figuring out his role (executive assistant to some mega-rich sick guy). It’s on YouTube if anyone has the patience, though. De didn’t do a whole lot of things between TOS and TMP, so it’s kind of a treat to see him in this, esp. with the 70s hair.

Btw, if you do watch, keep an eye out for Maj. Christopher (the pilot who gets trapped on the Enterprise and massively hit on by Kirk), who is wearing glasses but not really fooling anybody.

And they spelled his name right in the credits. Oh yay!
