If you ever wondered who was the first to take off their shirt on the original Star Trek then today is the day you get an answer. David Ross was in fact that man. To tell the truth he was such a great guy he was killed in his first role and then came back as a different character in the second. Now that's perseverance.
Also take a look at the others that are having birthdays. Lots to see and enjoy.
