William Campbell

I once got into an argument with a friend of a friend, over whether it was really Liberace in that episode of Star Trek where the crew is captured by an alien who does look a bit like Liberace. I looked up the real actor’s name and kept it in mind for months just waiting to bump into, you know, that guy who’d thought it was Liberace and the first words I said to him were “William Campbell,” which I can still recall thirty years on, even if I can’t remember the name of the guy I said it to.
