William Schallert (6 July 1922 – 8 May 2016; age 93) was an actor who played Nilz Baris in the Star Trek: The Original Series second season episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" and Varani in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine second season episode "Sanctuary".
Footage of his appearance as Nilz Baris was reused in the Deep Space Nine fifth season episode "Trials and Tribble-ations".
He filmed his scenes for "The Trouble with Tribbles" between Thursday 24 August 1967 and Monday 28 August 1967 at Desilu Stage 10.
During his career, Schallert played hundreds of roles on television and in film. He was probably best known for his role as Patty Lane's father Martin Lane on The Patty Duke Show from 1963 through 1966. He was ranked #39 list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" in the June 20th, 2004 issue of TV Guide.
Schallert began acting in the late 1940s, although he did not receive credit for many of his appearances from then throughout the 1950s. Some of the few exceptions were his supporting roles in the science fiction films The Man from Planet X and The Incredible Shrinking Man, released in 1951 and 1957, respectively. The latter also featured Billy Curtis. In 1954, however, he, Original Series star Leonard Nimoy, and Trek actor/director Lawrence Dobkin made uncredited appearances in the cult sci-fi classic Them! That same year, Schallert made a small (albeit credited) appearance in the war film The High and the Mighty, also featuring Original Series guest stars David Brian, William Campbell, and Paul Fix. Schallert also had a small role in the 1958 thriller Cry Terror!, with fellow character actor and Deep Space Nine guest star Kenneth Tobey. Schallert and Tobey had previously appeared in the 1954 film Down Three Dark Streets and also appeared in the short-lived 1958 western series The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca, starring Original Series guest actor Skip Homeier and also featuring Brian Keith and DeForest Kelley.
Schallert's other films include an uncredited appearance with Whit Bissell and John Crawford in The Red Badge of Courage (1951) and a supporting role in Lonely Are the Brave (1962), which featured music by Jerry Goldsmith, as well as appearances in Mighty Joe Young (1949), Singin' in the Rain (1952, with Gail Bonney, Robert Fortier, and Joseph Mell), Written on the Wind (1956, with Gail Bonney), Friendly Persuasion (1956, with Peter Mark Richman, Richard Hale, and Billy Curtis), Gunslinger (1956, with Dick Miller), and Pillow Talk (1959, with Joseph Mell and Charles Seel).
After gaining fame from The Patty Duke Show, Schallert took the supporting role of Mayor Webb Schubert in the multi-Oscar-winning crime drama In the Heat of the Night in 1967, which also featured Kermit Murdock. This was immediately followed by roles in Hour of the Gun (1967, with Steve Ihnat, William Windom, Monte Markham, Robert Phillips, and Dave Perna, and music by Jerry Goldsmith) and Will Penny (1968, with future Star Trek: Insurrection actor Anthony Zerbe). He returned to sci-fi in 1970 with a supporting role in the film Colossus: The Forbin Project. That same year, he was seen in the war epic Tora! Tora! Tora!. In 1973, he appeared in a supporting role in Charley Varrick, co-starring recurring Deep Space Nine actor Andrew Robinson. Later feature film credits like The Jerk (1979), James L. Conway's Hangar 18 (1980), and Teachers (1984, with Stephen Mendillo and Richard J. Zobel, Jr.).
From 1977 to 1978, Schallert was a series regular on the Glen A. Larson series The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries on which he played Carson Drew, a world-famous lawyer and father to Nancy Drew. He would only be on the show for two seasons as in the third season the producers decided to drop the Nancy Drew episodes and characters and just focus on The Hardy Boys for the final season (and rename the show The Hardy Boys Mysteries). The second season episode "Nancy Drew's Love Match" featured Original Series guest star Roger C. Carmel, while another second season episode, "Will The Real Santa…" reunited Schallert with William Campbell.
In 1978, Schallert, William Shatner, and John de Lancie had roles in the pilot episode for a Little Women TV series. Of those three actors, only Schallert continued his role past the pilot, although the series only lasted for a few episodes. The following year, Schallert appeared in two television mini-series focusing on a US president and featuring fellow Trek alumni. These were Ike, with Jonathan Banks, Whit Bissell, William Boyett, Richard Herd, and Laurence Luckinbill, and Blind Ambition, with Graham Jarvis, Lawrence Pressman, James Sloyan, and William Windom.
In 1979, he played the role of "Retired Man", aka Scarlett Cyclone, in Legends of the Super Heroes. He starred alongside Frank Gorshin and Mickey Morton.
In 1983, Schallert co-starred with Deep Space Nine actress Salome Jens in the made-for-TV movie Grace Kelly. That same year, he appeared in Twilight Zone: The Movie, co-starring with Dick Miller and Bill Mumy in a segment directed by Joe Dante. (Other segments of the film featured the likes of John Larroquette, Bill Quinn, Peter Brocco, and Larry Cedar.)
Throughout the years, Schallert appeared in a number of films directed by Joe Dante, including Gremlins (1984), Innerspace (1987), and Matinee (1993). The latter two films also featured Star Trek: Voyager actor Robert Picardo, while all featured Dick Miller and Kenneth Tobey. Schallert, Picardo, and Miller also went on to appear in Dante's 1997 TV movie The Second Civil War, also featuring Ron Perlman and Brian Keith. (Schallert and Miller had first acted together in the 1956 western, Gunslinger.)
In the 1980s, Schallert was a part of the cast of two epic mini-series: as General Robert E. Lee in North and South, Book II in 1986 (featuring Trek actors Jonathan Frakes, Kirstie Alley, Jim Metzler, Leon Rippy, Bumper Robinson, Jean Simmons, Kurtwood Smith, David Ogden Stiers, and Anthony Zerbe), and as Harry Hopkins in War and Remembrance in 1988 (also featuring Steven Berkoff, John Rhys-Davies, Lawrence Dobkin, Bruce French, Glenn Morshower, George Murdock, and Charles Napier).
Schallert was also active as a guest actor on many television series, the majority of which were westerns, including numerous episodes of Gunsmoke. His other guest appearances included Have Gun – Will Travel, Perry Mason, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mission: Impossible, The Wild Wild West, Bewitched, Hawaii Five-O, and The Waltons. He played Admiral Hargrade, the first Chief of CONTROL, in four appearances on Get Smart in 1967 and '68. He also appeared in an episode of Quantum Leap, starring future Star Trek: Enterprise actors Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell.
Schallert also served as President of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) from 1979 to 1981 (fellow Deep Space Nine guest star Barry Gordon also served as SAG president from 1988 to 1995) and subsequently became a SAG Health Plan Trustee like Gordon. Joseph Ruskin and Kitty Swink also both served on the Screen Actors Guild Executive Board of Directors and then as Trustees at the Screen Actors Guild Pension and Health Plan. Yet, even having held this position and even with his hundreds of acting roles in his nearly sixty-year career, Schallert went on record as saying that the one role he was most recognized for is Nilz Baris from "The Trouble with Tribbles".
Schallert died on 8 May 2016 in Pacific Palisades, California at the age of 93. [1]
