Contrary to what is stated in this synopsis, Leonard Nimoy was not in The Great Escape. The actor who portrayed Hayes, the RAF officer "in charge of diversions" and tripped up by the use of English during the mock interrogation by Mac, was Lawrence Montaigne, a Nimoy look-alike. His resemblance to Nimoy led to his being cast twice on STAR TREK, first as the Romulan Decius in the episode "Balance of Terror" and second as Stonn, Spock's Vulcan rival for the hand of T'Pring in "Amok Time."

During a billing/salary dispute between TREK's first and second season, when it appeared for a time that Nimoy might not return to his role as Mr. Spock, Montaigne was seriously considered as a possible replacement for Nimoy (as was the late Mark Lenard, who appeared with Montaigne as the Romulan Commander in "Balance of Terror" and later as Spock's Vulcan father in "Journey to Babel").
