10 Star Trek Guest Stars Who Played Iconic Movie Characters

9. Andrew Robinson

Robinon Andjrjrrjrj When it comes to cops, there is none more iconic than Harry Callahan. What is perhaps Clint Eastwood's defining role, 'Dirty' Harry first appeared on cinema screens in his eponymously titled 1971 film, and helped shape the notion that heroes didn't always have to follow the rules. What many people fail to realise however, is that cops are often only as iconic as the criminals they're after. Although the film is famous for a not so lucky bank robbing punk, the real crime is that the so-called 'Scorpio' killer, played by Robinson, is the most underrated of all time. The fact it was his first on-screen role ever, makes it doubly so. Holding the city of San Francisco to ransom, Scorpio not only snipes innocent bystanders from rooftops, but also kidnaps, rapes, and buries a teenage girl alive. Even after he sends Harry on a payphone chase around the city (long before John McClane), and is given the money, he still refuses to reveal her location, instead letting her just die, buried and alone. More than this though, the film also features a school bus hijacking that would surely have given any kid (un)lucky enough to sneak into the cinema nightmares for weeks. No wonder Garak was so secretive about his past....
