Gary Lockwood (born John Gary Yurosek on 21 February 1937) is the actor who played Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell in the second pilot for Star Trek: The Original Series, called "Where No Man Has Gone Before". This is his only Star Trek appearance to date.
Lockwood broke into show business as a stunt man in 1957, but quickly moved to acting. He is probably best known for his role in the revered 1968 science fiction classic, 2001: A Space Odyssey, where he played "Dr. Frank Poole", the astronaut murdered by the Hal-9000 computer.
His other feature film credits include Splendor in the Glass (1961), It Happened at the World's Fair (1963), and Firecreek (1968), the latter of which also featured fellow TOS guest stars Barbara Luna and Morgan Woodward. He went on to appear in such films as R.P.M. (1970, with Paul Winfield, John McLiam, Graham Jarvis, and Don Keefer), Stand Up and Be Counted (1972, with Michael Ansara and Madlyn Rhue), and Night of the Scarecrow (1995, with Stephen Root).
From 1963 through 1964, Lockwood was the star of the television series called The Lieutenant, a show which, like Star Trek, was created by Gene Roddenberry. The show also had TOS actress and frequent TNG/DS9 guest Majel Barrett in the cast. Lockwood would later reunite with his Star Trek co-star William Shatner for an episode of T.J. Hooker, on which the Captain Kirk actor was starring (as were Richard Herd and James Darren).
Despite his one-time guest appearance in the Trek franchise, Lockwood participated in the 1997 documentary Trekkies, which chronicles the impact of Star Trek on the U.S. culture.
