Bruce Mars enjoyed a short and unremarkable career between 1965 and 1969 – but three of his appearances were in different Star Trek: The Original Series episodes. He made a total of three movie appearances and about a dozen television guest spots. His most memorable Trek performance is without doubt Finnegan, the abusive cadet who made Kirk's academy life miserable, and whom Kirk later encountered on the Shore Leave Planet in recreated form.
Was a male model in the mid-to-late 1950s before his acting career. Before that, he was an athlete and appeared in the 1954 Olympic trials for track.
