Star Trek appearances[]

Morgan was also erroneously credited in the first edition of the Star Trek Concordance as being in "The Paradise Syndrome". The part was actually played by John Lindesmith. Morgan was erroneously credited for additional roles in "The Corbomite Maneuver" and "This Side of Paradise" that were edited out of the scripts by the final draft version for actual filming.
