Richard Anthony 
Edit
Richard Anthony (13 January 1938 – 20 April 2015; age 77) was a singer and occasional actor who was born in Cairo, Egypt as Richard Btesh. Anthony filmed scenes as a rider in Tombstone for the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Spectre of the Gun" but was cut from the final aired version. The scene depicted a man riding a horse successfully getting through the force field at Tombstone city limits. Seeing this, Kirk decides to jump on a horse himself and attempt to get out of town, unsuccessfully. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season Three)
He is married to Michele Anthony and they have two children, Xavier Anthony and Alexandre Anthony, who is also a singer.
Among his acting resume are the films Just for Fun (1963) and Poison (1991, with Rob LaBelle), as well as a guest appearance in the television series Dallas (1978, with Peter Mark Richman).
Anthony has appeared in numerous television shows, mostly as a singer or host. He died on April 20, 2015.

John Blower (11 September 1932 – 24 December 2004; age 72) filmed a scene as Swensen for "Catspaw", but it ended up as a deleted scene. The scene depicted a team of security guards ready to beam down to Pyris VII, but prevented from doing so by Sylvia's force field. [1]
John Buonomo Edit
John Buonomo is the actor who played the role of an orderly in the Star Trek episode "Requiem for Methuselah". Although his role was cut, he was credited for the appearance in the Star Trek Concordance.
John Carr Edit
John Carr was in the credits for the original series episode "Shore Leave" as a guard, but no guards appeared in the episode. It is likely his scene was cut.
It is also possible Bjo Trimble misplaced his credit when writing the Star Trek Concordance, and that Carr appears as any of the other uncredited guards throughout the series.
Likewise, the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 542) lists a John Carr as a security guard in the episode "Shore Leave".
