Adam West for sure. I mean his role alone in Zombie Nightmare makes the movie enjoyable. And the fact that he also got to host the Turkey day ‘94 marathon in honor of that episode is awesome.

I just revisted Girls Town the other day, which reminded me it has a few successful alums. Mamie Van Doren, of course, had a successful B-movie career. One of her husbands, Ray Anthony, was the detective in GT and was a successful big band leader who had the first hit single with the theme from Peter Gunn, which had a few hit versions. He is the last surviving member of Glenn Miller's orchestra. Elinor Donahue was very well known for Father Knows Best and other TV work and is also an alum of the original Star Trek series in the 2nd season episode "Metamorphosis". Dick Contino was known more as a successful accordionist than as an actor and was still touring near the end of his life. Mel Torme, of course, was a hugely successful singer-songwriter. So is Paul Anka. In fact, just a few days ago at the local Piggly Wiggly I heard " Having My Baby" over the sound system. And, of course, The Platters had their cameo. There are other GT alums with success, but these are probably the best known ones.

Speaking of Richards, little and otherwise:
I think Richard Kind's appearance in Quest of the Delta Knights is always a fun little moment. David Warner should probably also be mentioned where that movie's concerned.

Richard Kiel had a good career. Lee Majors too.

Raul Julia from Overdrawn at the Memory Bank?
Thanks to Mighty Jack's site, I know that woman who sings on the boat after the guys and girls fight in Catalina Caper is Carol Connors, who went on to become a famous songwriter

Don't forget Tia Carrera - Zombie Nightmare was her first film, and she would later go on to appear in True Lies (starring Arnold Schwarzenegger). Anyways, best one I could think of was Richard Denning (Dr. Hank Scott in The Black Scorpion). Did you know he was in Hawaii Five-O as Governor Paul Jameson?
