Truth be told, the Klingon one was the toughest I could come up with myself. A couple years ago as I watched a rerun of DS9, I recognized Michael Ansara's voice, so I paused the TiVo on the credits and took a hard look, recognized the actor names, and realized it was a reunion show because I also remembered John Colicos from Errand of Mercy.

Which cast member is missing a finger, and which one is it?

I've literally watched Star Trek TOS all my life (I was born in 1966, and father was a fan), and I didn't know that until about a month ago.
