2. I was an extra ( furniture in a shirt, basically ) in a DiCaprio film, and Brent Spiner was in The Aviator.
 
1. My recipe for Rokeg Blood Pie was used in Deep Space 9.

2. I have the personal phone number for one of the Star Trek Captains (Walker Keel), and I'm on a first name basis with Michael Dorn's body double (and the man who made (and who's name appears on) the Sword of Kahless).
 
I've performed on-stage with Michael Dorn and Denise Crosby, I gave Takei a hand massage (he was cramping from signing autographs, not whatever sewer thoughts you were thinking), I chatted with Mark Leonard during an airing of his Buck Rogers episode, and I drank with Jimmy Doohan
 
I gave a high-five to Kenny Baker and he surely met with ST cast members.

Met and have signed autographs from De Kelley, Majel Barrett, Mark Lenard, Jimmy Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Bill Campbell, Robin Curtis. Huung out with Doohan in a hotel room. Went onstage with Mark Lenard for one of his talks at a con. He demonstrated Planet of the Apes make-up on me for the audience.

Does that make me a 1?
 
I rode an elevator with Nichelle Nichols in 1976! My oldest friend has worked in TV with all of the TOS cast members. I've seen all but Leonard Nimoy live. Does any of that count?
 
Got a kiss from Robin Curtis. Shook Doohan's hand, met George Takei, and Nichelle Nichols, also got a hug from Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand), and Chase Masterson (Leeta), also met Henry Woronicz (J'Dan, TNG "The Drumhead"), and Megan Cole (Judge Noor, TNG "The Outcast").
 
I never met anyone from any of the series, but I know a guy who was friends with Yvonne Craig who played the Orion slave girl that got blown up on the original series. So that would make my Star Trek number a 2.

It would make my Batman number a 2 as well, but years ago I exchanged a few emails with Julie Newmar (Catwoman), so I will claim that as a 1.
 
No, I disagreed with his commentary on " the Prisoner", that aired on Sci Fi Channel back in the 90's.
I think it was one of the dragonCons. A friend and I were discussing it in an elevator at the Con, and he was standing at the back of the elevator; and dropped me with one punch as we exited the elevator. Several of my friends were helping the Con, and were able to convince me not to pummelel him to death, lol. At the time I was 240 and in good shape, but that's why they call it a sucker punch. :)
Apparently offing s guest of the Con is bad form, and makes it hard to attract future guests. :)

Met Chase Masterson just after her very first appearance on Deep Space 9 as Leeta, one of the Dabo girl in Quark's. She was still not very sure of what it was all going to mean for her career but I got to spend some quality time with her as she was so new hardly anybody stopped to talk with her. Incredible potential as an actress. A great sense of humor and a smile that could light up even the coldest Ferengi's heart.

But a "Star Trek Number" is apparently not something with which I am acquainted. Could somebody let me know what it is that you're talking about?

Mine is 1. I met Michael Dorn when he flew is personal F-86 Saber jet into Sheppard AFB to watch his friend graduate from T-38 flight training. I even got to work on his parachute. He was really cool, I will never forget it.
 
I skipped the escalator at the Atlanta airport once and as I climbed up the right side of the stairs, I saw Doohan going down the left side (escorted by a Delta rep in their red jacket).

Years ago there was a thing about the actor Kevin Bacon. It was called seven degrees of Kevin Bacon. Basically, how many people do you have to go to for their to be a connection between you and Kevin Bacon. The smaller the number the better.

So in my post I know someone (Scott S) who knew Yvonne Craig and she was on Star Trek. Me to Scott S to Yvonne. It took 2 people for me to get to Star Trek. So my number is 2.

Here's the whole theory behind this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation
At some point, Kevin Bacon said in an interview he had worked with everyone in Hollywood, so everyone in Hollywood checked this by counting how "far" in degrees they have worked with him.

Incidentally, a mathematician called Paul Erdos is known for the same kind of thing, as he co-authored papers with many other mathematicians:

A "Star Trek number" is something the OP just thought of for this thread.
 
MY number is 1. The members of the Turks Head Association of Rocketry - THOR NAR Section 251, we all met Gene Roddenberry personally at a lecture at West Chester College (Now West Chester University) in the 1970's. The club gave him Estes Enterprise and Klingon kits... Can't get closer than a handshake of the creator!

Did you at least file a complaint with the police? Press charges? 'Cause, it is, y'know, what he did I mean, it is, like, against the law.

My wife shared a stage with John Delancey, so that gives her a one and me a two.

Oh, yeah, I met Grave Lee, too. And I spent some time around Woopie Goldberg on two separate occasions. Almost had her over for dinner, 'cause I was getting to know her boyfriend's son/ But it didn't materialize.

Only members of the original cast I never met were Shatner, Nimoy and Nichols.
 
Met Jimmy Doohan at a DragonCon back in the 90s and sat drinking French 75s while he had coffee in the hotel bar. At one point, he dipped his "finger" in his coffee to stir it and then showed my friends and me that the digit was missing past the first knuckle. He was a gentleman with a serious sense of humor, both about himself and others.
