September 1966. "COLOR ME IN SPACE! Meet William Shatner as captain of the U. S. S. Enterprise, a cruiser-si-e space ship, to be seen in the new NBC-TV series titled STAR TREK, in color. Co-stars in this series include Leonard Nimoy and Paul Fix."
Okay Trekkies, I thought I knew the names of all the major players in STAR TREK, but who is Paul Fix? I watched STAR TREK all the time when I was a child but do not remember an actor by the name of Paul Fix being on the show.
