He was in a lot of shows, as per IMDB. Only one Perry Mason, though ( which I do remember ... from Me TV, that is! ) and I guess that picture is from his role as Rojan in Star Trek, memorable for the reduction of the crew members, at his hands, to “crystals” about the size of volleyballs.

Of course his role in Forbidden Planet was the prototype for McCoy, in Star Trek.

I am now remembering the sound that was made when the person was turned into the cube. Wasn't the cube what was suppose to be left after all water was removed from the persons body? Why do I remember this ? I was born after Star Trek was canceled! (Still loved it!) I blame this on my brother, we had to watch every episode 20x!

Do you know this for a fact?

I think the prototype for McCoy was Dr. Adams on Gunsmoke.
