Stiff · October 25, 2026

Walter Koenig

NBC hired him in 1967 because they wanted a Davy Jones lookalike to snag the teenage girls, then slapped a Monkees wig on him to close the deal. He spent the next six decades insisting everything was invented in Russia, survived a space eel crawling into his ear in Wrath of Khan, and asked half of San Francisco for directions to the “nuclear wessels.” Shatner and Takei are the last two standing. Place your bets.
