Description

You won't find Tonn and Aissok listed in the credits of Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS). But they were there alright. Only, they were not actors. Rather, they were consultants. It seems that Earth had been under the watchful eye of the planet Vulcan for some time before Gene Roddenberry decided to include one of their species as a crew member of the USS Enterprise. Well, logically, Gene was going to need to know a bit about Vulcans. So, Tonn and Aissok were assigned by the Vulcan ambassador to assist with the technical and cultural elements that might arise around the character of Spock. It was all quite "hush, hush"--real conspiracy gold that made the faked moon landing look like child's play (what, you thought that was real?!). Indeed, this is the only known Polaroid of the two of them, taken as they were demonstrating how to use some advanced handheld Vulcan technology. You may even recognize the tricorder Aissok is holding in her hand. Of course, it was modified a bit for TV so as to avoid the risk of viewers attempting to reverse-engineer the technology, but the resemblance is clearly there.
