Before the internet, a company sent out large catalogs to casting agents/producers, etc. that listed actors/actresses of all ages for hire. Agents paid money to list their clients in these catalogs. Here are three of De’s listings. In the first one (pre-Star Trek), he was listed in the “bad guy” section. In the other two, he was listed under the “leading man” category. I love his forehead curl in the second listing.

Watching an old western show, “Have Gun, Will Travel” that Roddenberry wrote for often. And look who shows up as a gunslinger today!

DeForest was such a ray of sunshine.
