Vian illusion of Lemli
On stardate 5121.5, the Vians created an illusion of him and Scott outside a research station on the surface of Minara II in an attempt to trick Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the empath Gem. (TOS: "The Empath") He was stunned into unconscious on stardate 5431.4 when the Eymorg Kara appeared and removed Spock's brain. (TOS: "Spock's Brain")
When Kirk discovered an assassination plot against Ambassador Kollos on stardate 5630.7, he teamed up with Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Leslie in response to the threat and ensured that no harm came to the Medusan ambassador. (TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?") On stardate 5693.2, he attended a memorial service for Kirk when the Enterprise was ensnared in a Tholian web. He restrained a crewman who had succumbed to the effects of the interphase and led him to sickbay (TOS: "The Tholian Web") He witnessed Kryton commit suicide in main engineering after the Elasian guard sabotaged the Enterprise's dilithium crystal converter assembly.

(TOS: "The Lights of Zetar")
On stardate 5730.2, he was on the bridge and attempted to apprehend Lokai of Cheron under Kirk's orders. When the attempt failed, he fired a phaser at him but was unsuccessful because of a protective shield surrounding both Lokai and Bele. (TOS: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield") He saved the lives of Kirk, McCoy and Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu when he fired his phaser on the Kalandan outpost's computer and disabled the replicas of Losira. (TOS: "That Which Survives") After the Enterprise made initial contact with an Excalbian replica of Abraham Lincoln on stardate 5906.4, Kirk signed his PADD. (TOS: "The Savage Curtain")
He was present at Spock's court martial on stardate 5928.5. He was ordered to bring Doctor Janice Lester to testify, not knowing that she had already switched her body with Kirk's through a life-energy transfer machine. After Spock, McCoy and Scott were sentenced to death for the charge of mutiny, he escorted them and Lester, who still had Kirk's persona, to the brig. (TOS: "Turnabout Intruder")

Background
Roger Lemli was played by Roger Holloway, a regular extra who appeared in the second and third seasons of the Original Series. Holloway did not receive onscreen credit for the role and had one brief line of dialog in "Turnabout Intruder", the final episode.
The recurring character did not have a set identity until Scott referred to him as "Roger" in "The Changeling", the same first name as Holloway. Kirk addressed him clearly as "Mister Lemli" in "The Lights of Zetar" and "Turnabout Intruder", although the captain referred to him less clearly in "The Savage Curtain".
According to Star Trek Encyclopedia, Lemli is a combination of the first names of William Shatner's three daughters: Leslie, Melanie and Lisabeth. Shatner later chose "LEMLI" for his vanity license plate in California and had a production company called Lemli Music.
