Johny Stompanato..you're right!

Impressive! I reckon not a lot of people knows about that little tidbit,

 

[RetrogradeOrbit]

Mark Lenard. He's Spock's father, a Romulan Cmder in Balance of Terror and he was a Klingon in Star Trek The Motion Picture.

I am going to get the spelling wrong, but it's Johnny Stompano I think. He was Lana Turner's boyfriend for a while. Then her daughter stabbed and killed him, right?

I bow to your (amazing) knowledge sir...

Here is one:

Many of the pieces of equipment that Dr. Mcoy used on TOS (hypo sprays, hand held lazer scalpel ect.) were actually what kind of off the shelf household items one would find around the dinner table?

Spice containers

On the TV show I believe that was Omega Supreme. That episode is also notable because it's a retcon of the Consrtuctacon's origins. When first introduced they were built on Earth by Megatron and the Decepticons. But in the episode with Omega Supreme they are shown on Cybertron MILLIONS of years in the past.

Most impressive Krypton!!!

I believe a lot of those were salt and pepper shakers. IIRC Gene Roddenberry wanted futuristic looking condiment holders on the show. But when his people came back with them, some looked too good, i.e. unrecognisable and he decided to have some of them dressed and used as props for McCoy.
