Star Trek made celebrities of its cast of largely unknown actors. Kelley had appeared in many films and TV shows, but mostly in smaller roles. Nimoy ... had previous TV and film experience but was also not well-known. Shatner had played Cyrano on Broadway, was well-known in the trades, and had even turned down the part of Dr. Kildare. However, when roles became sparse he took the regular job after Jeffrey Hunter's contract wasn't renewed. After the episodes aired, many performers found themselves typecast due to their roles.

Technically, the pop recordings of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Brent Spiner are not "Star Trek" items, but the show's fame made it possible for them to make some laughable missteps in music history. Hear the evidence on the "Actors" page at Miserable Melodies. There are some alternate Shatner and Nimoy tracks at The Rock and Roll Hall of Shame.
