For those who demanded it (actually, no-one did, but I thought it would be a good idea anyway) here`s the first Mr Leslie fan club! Here we can discuss matters such as Leslie`s return from the grave (hence the title) and our own theories and explanations on the matter, along with other topics concerning Eddie Paskey`s roles.
Do you want me to move this under the "Character" subtopic and add a board for Eddie Paskey under "Cast?" I can if you'd like. Speaking of which, I should probably put one for Kyle as well...
OK. He did appear in more episodes than Chekov, Uhura or Sulu!
Wasn't the name "Leslie" inspired by the name of one of William Shatner's daughters?
Possibly. Lemli was named after all three.
Mr. Leslie...
the red shirt who nver dies...
Mr. Leslie...
the red shirt who never dies
Forgot "spell check"
Mr Leslie..
The redshirt who was mentioned by name and died in 'Obsession.'
But he got better..
Homer Simposon's opinion of Mr. Leslie:
"Mr. Leslie is like donuts. There's nothing he can't do!"
Sorry...That should be: HOMER SIMPSON! (geez!)
Mr. Leslie was obviously a Q.
First appearance: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (Blue shirt)
Last appearance: "Elaan of Troyius" (Red shirt)
Jobs held: Security, Helmsman, Navigator, Engineer Personel, Doctor's assistant
His name is spelled "Lesley" in the credits of "Return of the Archons."
Yeah...and that was in season one...the same season that had the "Scpipt supervisor" snafu. You're gonna believe that idiot's spelling of "Leslie"? I sure wouldn't!
Mind you, according to the stories I've heard, TNG nearly had a character called Leslie Crusher. (Who was female. And probably more precocious than Our Wes. But I digress.) But presumably they decided against it because no-one wanted to see our Leslie being crushed.
Disregard 5/24 posting.
Mr. Leslie's last appearance was NOT "Elaan of Troyius", but I THINK it was "And The Children Shall Lead"
If you're going by production order (which it appears you are), Leslie was in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" as a security guard.
But---In airdate order, he was in "Spectre of the Gun," which is later, and "Elaan" is after all of those. Since you knew he was in "Elaan," that's why I figured you were using production order.
I'm glad I used "I think" this time. It makes me appear less "blind". You're correct in pointing that out. I now remember him being in that episode. He was jogging along with Kirk down the hallway to the Medusan's quarters.
Now I'm REALLY glad I used "I think". Mr. Leslie appears again in "Spock's Brain" (Production-wise after Elaan of Troyius)
Spock's Brain" (Production-wise after Elaan of Troyius)
That's awfully odd, since Spock's Brain was the first aired episode of season 3, and Elaan of Troyius was in the middle of the season.
Yeah..the ORIGINAL first episode of season 3 was "Spectre of the Gun", but they changed the air date to coincide with the date of the actual gunfight of the O.K. Corral.
OK....it appears my vision is "healed" now. I just watched "The Empath" & Mr. Leslie was not in that episode. And I'm pretty sure that he doesn't appear in the episodes following that. SO...what that means is that I'm 99.9% sure that Mr. Leslie's last episode was: "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" (Otherwise I need more Visine)
Leslie's last episode was "Is There in Truth No Beauty" in production order and "Elaan of Troyius" in air date order.

They failed to mention that Eddie Paskey also appeared as one of the citizens of Eminiar VII in "A Taste of Armegeddon" (See TOS boards for my finding of Eddie Paskey in that episode)
You mean I failed to mention it, since it's my site? In that case no, I only list Enterprise crewmembers (and starfleet officers)
Ah...Sorry. I thought you were listing ALL the appearances of Eddie Paskey in TOS.
Biggest Eddie Myth Debunked. I've seen so many places that mention Eddie getting bonked by the plastic rock in "The Return of The Archons." Not so. It is Lindstrom who takes it on the noggin' and keeps on joggin', not Mr. Leslie. Eddie Paskey is last in line, behind De Kelly, when the famous boulder comes flying across the screen.
Since Eddie was before acting, and again after acting, a mechanic, I wonder if any of the Trek cast ever hit him up to take a look at their cars when they might have been acting up...
Sir Rhosis
A recent issue of Star Trek Communicator had a feature article on Mr. Leslie and an interview with Paskey. Apparently, his name was indeed Leslie in honor of Bill Shatner's daughter.
One more Job held: Command of the bridge
Who s mr Lemlie?
Anyone know what Mr Lemlie is doing these days?,
er the actor, Eddie Paskey
Mr. Lemli is not played by Eddie Paskey. Mr. Lemli was played by Roger Holloway.
oh what episode Lemli was in then John
In reply to "?"'s question:
Mr. Lemli episodes:
The Changeling
And The Children Shall Lead
Wink of an Eye
The Cloudminders
thanks John
Wasn t Leslie on the Defiant bridge in Tholian Web?
Just wanted to mention Lemli was in a bunch of other episodes not mentioned above (around 27 or so), beginning with "Who Mourns for Adonais?" and ending with "Turnabout Intruder."
What issue of ST communicator was Mr Leslie in?
Mr. Lemli was also in "The Way To Eden." He's seen sitting at the engineering station on the bridge. Check out his aptitude at air guitar, during the concert.
You sure? I thought he had quit acting by that time...?
Most appearances of Mr. Leslie in one episode:
FIVE
"Assignment: Earth"
First appearance: He's in red at the engineer's post.
Second appearance: He's in yellow, wandering the halls.
Third appearance: He's wearing a red jumpsuit in Engineering.
Fourth appearance: He's wearing red as a Transporter Technician that got knocked out by Gary Seven's stun pen
Fifth appearance: He's in red again as a security guard when Scotty is trying to beam up Gary Seven from rocket site.
the costume designer for Assignment Earth must be ticked off on Eddie I get around Paskey
Mr. Leslie: god or man?
HE IS OMNIPOTENT...as seen in his miraculous leap from behind the Transporter Control to the Command Chair all the way up on the Bridge in "The Squire of Gothos"
HE IS OMNIPRESENT...as seen in "Assignment: Earth" with his 5 separate appearances throughout the ship.
HE IS OMNISCIENT....as seen with all the positions he holds....IE: Medical Assistant, Helmsman, Navigator, Security Guard, Transporter Tecnician, & Engineering Assistant
HE IS IMMORTAL...as seen in "Obsession" where he was "killed" by the cloud creature. Also he was reduced to a geometrical shape by the Kelvans in "By Any Other Name", yet still manages to keep on going!
HE IS A "QUICK-CHANGE ARTIST"...as seen in "Assignment: Earth" with his various uniform changes.
Leslie was not the only Security guard to come back from the dead. Galloway managed it too, although he changed his name to Johnson for some reason.
