Michael Forest

Michael Forest is an actor who played Apollo in the second season episode . He filmed his scenes between Friday and Thursday at Desilu Stage 10.
He was born Gerald Michael Charlebois in North Dakota and grew up in Seattle. His work outside of Star Trek includes over a hundred films and seventy-five television guest roles. He broke into film in the 1950s, alternating work for B-movie director and producer with work on the stage. He met Corman while studying acting from Jeff Corey.
One of Forest's oldest friends was Leonard Nimoy (another of Corey's acting students). He worked together with Nimoy in the theatrical production of 's play Deathwatch, and later on the film version (which also featured Robert Ellenstein), filmed in 1964, but released in 1966. Ironically, Forest and Nimoy did not share any scenes in "Who Mourns for Adonais?".
Much of his recent work has been voice-over work in the English versions of Japanese anime films and television series, often credited as Alfred Thor.
In 2012, he reprised his role of Apollo in the first episode of the Star Trek Continues fan film series: "Pilgrim Of Eternity."
