Michael J. Pollard (Stucky)
In 1966, at the age of 27, Michael Pollard was hired as a guest star on "Star Trek," playing "Jahn" in the episode "Miri".

Moss in Bonnie and Clyde (1967), a role for which he was Oscar-nominated. Inexplicably popular, though he never seemed to be playing anyone other than himself, Pollard subsequently appeared in several movies, including Hannibal Brooks (1969), Little Fauss and Big Halsy (1970), Dirty Little Billy (1972, the lead), Between the Lines (1977), Melvin and Howard (1980), and America (1982). By the late 1980s, he began working more frequently, playing virtually the same offbeat, imbecilic character in both A pictures (1987's Roxanne, 1988's Scrooged) and B movies (1989's Night Visitor, 1991's The Art of Dying, 1992's Split Second). He reunited with Warren Beatty in Dick Tracy (1990) playing phone tapper Bug Bailey, and appeared in Enid Is Sleeping, I Come in Peace (both 1990), and Arizona Dream (1995, filmed in 1991).
