Gene Roddenberry said that his Star Trek series was a Western set in space.

Bill Shatner and DeForrest Kelley actually starred in a lot of Westerns before Star Trek.

Dee Kelley got to play BOTH sides in the O.K. Corral faceoff, as Morgan Earp in the 1957 film, “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” and a decade later in the Star Trek episode “Spectre of the Gun” when he was “forced” to be a member of the Clanton gang by the Melkotians.
