It sounds like a bit from the Dos Equis commercials, but in this case, it appears to be true. Jonathan Goldsmith, who plays the beer company's Most Interesting Man in the World, appeared in the second episode of the original Star Trek series, "The Corbomite Maneuver." He only appears on screen for a moment, but he also doesn't get a death scene.


Joey deVilla, the "Accordion Guy," noted that Goldsmith appeared in the episode, right beside a shirtless Kirk. Memory Alpha confirms that Goldsmith appeared as an unnamed crewman (under the stage name Jonathan Lippe), but hasn't confirmed his appearance in the final episode. If you turn on the episode, though, the man they identify as Goldsmith is right there, working in a corridor right after Kirk performs a few sweaty endurance tests in McCoy's sick bay.

I thought I was going to read about how he actually played a red shirt.

Like someone is a pair of pants.

Another person is a pair of shoes.

He's a shirt.


I am too literal for my own good.

11. That would have been a

looooong time ago. And the residuals aren't keeping him afloat?

Well. He's doing pretty well with the Dos Equis thing. Hopefully that will set him, and whoever, up for the rest of their days.

16. When the women of Risa go on vacation

they seek him out... when the tribbles threatened, he stopped them from breeding with a mere glance... when the Romulans employed a cloaking device, he saw right through it. He is, the most interesting man in the world.
