All of the Star Trek crew are wearing boots. But Brill is wearing flats, so the height difference is a little misleading. He'd probably be as tall as one of the guys in the red shirts if he had boots on. Maybe even as tall as Capt. Kirk, you see the comparison between the two in the last frame--Bones looks about a half-inch taller than the captain.

Jai, you read my mind. I was just about to comment on how he looked to be shorter than Shatner ! Biography for William Shatner Nickname Bill -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Height 5' 9½" (1.77 m) He had to count that 1/2 an inch ! I'm 5 ft 1 1/2 myself, so I can relate ! ;D I think that John was about 5 ft 9 in. tall. So, this is definitely getting interesting !

Capt. Kirk is holding "tribbles"...his future toupes for his senior years.

It's also interesting that Brill is not wearing typical Star Trek garb, but a "Beatle Suit".

Rita is right on the money, as usual. I have seen that episode a million times. Heck, I bought the video tape of it when video tapes were still in their infancy. If I remember correctly, the episodes were sold as two per tape ( except for the ones that were two-parters ) and they cost me $80 something dollars EACH ! ;D

Do we have a double? I think it's a give a way now that you pointed out that Brill is a dead ringer for Lennon.
Who would have ever dreamed that he'd be found in an old Star Trek episode...and one as strange as the Trouble with Tribbles......? If anything one may suspect Dr. Who....but Star Trek....
Also thinking about the "Trekkies" those who are avid fans of Star Trek...very passionate fans, much like Beatle fans...
Not that the fandom behind the two can be considered for choosing possible replacements or doubles, but just an interesting curiosity that both "entities" attract an ecclectic group of fans.

I was a Trekkie alot longer than I've been a Beatle "fan". It took PID to bring me into the fold.

Now the question is, since Charlie Brill was on Star Trek, was Bill truly in the show as well? Perhaps disguised in some really bizarre make up or costume....That's my question?

I guess so. My hubby used to work at some of the Star Trek conventions & he got to meet alot of the major ( & minor ) stars of its various incarnations. He met Shatner when he was a kid & he thought that Shatner was a dork. His opinion didn't change much as both Shatner & him grew older. ;D

It doesn't look those two Lennon/Warhol photos above are from the same occasion; I suspect the one I posted is from years later. I was wondering if that was a Lennon double in my photo, possibly Brill.

You're right. Andy Warhol looks older in the photo that you posted. As far as that being a Lennon double, who knows ? I'd have to do some photo comparisons before I could make a call like that.

That it doesn't. However, he had been through a horrendously traumatizing experience. He lost his manager Brian ( some say his lover ) & his best friend Paul very close together. I don't think he was given a chance to adjust to it. He was forced to go on as if nothing untowards had happened !

I recall my cousin attending a Star Trek Convention years ago and said that Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelly were cool to meet, but William Shattner was a real dork.
Apparently word's out!

A possible Charlie Brill clue in the "Let It Be" sessions of January 1969 --- On the Let It Be Naked "Fly on the Wall" CD we hear John Lennon (if it is him) and Ringo doing a human-human ventriloquist act, imitating a recurring Laugh-In routine in which Dan Rowan and Dick Martin would say a joke and one or the other would say the refrain "I didn't know that!" Dialogue at 16:38 on the CD:
Faul: Still the boom was't open (?)
Lennon:The Queen of Sheba wore falsies.
Ringo: I didn't know that!
John: Didn't you know that? You weren't there at the time. Bognor Regis is a Tartan that covers Yorkshire. Alexander the Great was a big head or a fireplace.
Ring: I didn't know that!
Lennon and Faul together, giggling: "Goodnight Dick!"["Goodnight Dick" was another Laugh-In signature hook. Dan: "Now It's Time to Say Goodnight (as in the Lennon-Ringo 1968 song) Dick"/ Dick: "Goodnight Dick!"] Faul: Well, all right, we can't carry on like this indefinitely. John: We seem to be. Faul: We seem to, but we can't. (??) John: (?) play on roof then. Why are they imitating Laugh-In routines in the middle of pretending to be writing songs for the documentary cameras? Charlie Brill was a regular on Laugh-In, with his wife Mitzi in the McCall and Brill comedy team, in the 1968-69 Laugh-In season, exactly when the Beatles recorded this and what would become the "Let It Be" album. No other known connection of the Beatles to Laugh-In. After the Beatles break-up Ringo Starr guest starred on Laugh-In: "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In: (#3.23)" (1970) TV Episode Cartoon of Charlie Brill on Laugh-in (no photos available!): www.larryhovis.net/larryhovis/doll_charliebrill.gifLaugh-In: www.triotv.com/laughin/images/laughin_main.jpg[/img]Troubling comment on the amazon Laugh-In DVD page:
3 of 5 people found the following review helpful:
I love Laugh-In, BUT..., September 3, 2003 Reviewer: Craig Gustafson (Glendale Heights, IL USA) - See all my reviews Are these episodes really uncut? There is a weird edit in which Zsa Zsa Gabor is cut off before saying anything, and in one episode, Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall are introduced at the opening credits, then never seen again. Just asking...
Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)

I don't think that guy looks anything like Sir Paul!
Maybe you can find out who he is?
