...as Gary Seven (1968)

Robert Lansing (June 5, 1928 - October 23, 1994) was an actor who played Gary Seven in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Assignment: Earth". This episode was actually to serve as a pilot for a possible TV series that would have starred Lansing as the Gary Seven character, but the series was not picked up.

Nonetheless, Lansing was the star of three other series during the 1960s: 87th Precinct in 1961, Twelve O'Clock High in 1964, and The Man Who Never Was in 1966. Of those three, Twelve O'Clock High was the most successful, lasting three seasons (compared to the one season of the other two). However, Lansing left the show after only one year.

In 1985, he would again become part of a regular cast in a TV series, this time as a co-star, on The Equalizer. He remained with this show until its end in 1989.

In 1993, Lansing became a recurring cast member on Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. Sadly, his role would only last until the following year, when he died of cancer at the age of 66.
