Sam (crewmember)

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Sam was a Human crewmember serving aboard the USS Enterprise during the 2260s.

In 2266, Sam was exercising in the gymnasium aboard the Enterprise when he was "disposed of" by young Charles Evans, a boy who commanded the tremendous powers of the Thasians.(TOS: "Charlie X")

[edit] Background

This uncredited role was played by regular series extra Robert Herron, although reference books based on the Star Trek Concordance lists the actor playing Sam as Beau Vandenecker. The character was only referred to in the script and episode as "Sam."

The novelization "Charlie's Law" by James Blish (released by Bantam Books), he was referred to as Sam Ellis, an officer, who was part of McCoy's medical staff. Of note, a seemingly out-of-place lexicon entry for a "Mr. Ellis" also appeared in the Concordance, however the corresponding text refers rather to Tom Nellis.
