Phillip Pine was in hundreds of films and TV shows, including a
remarkably bad episode of the original Star Trek ("The Savage Curtain")
in which he played the evil Colonel Green. He also did two episodes of
Twilight Zone and two successive early episodes of Adventures of
Superman (neither one with Dabbs Greer, unfortunately). Some will
remember Phillip Pine as the American vice president in a remarkable
Outer Limits episode, "The Hundred Days of the Dragon." IMDb lists
scores of credits for him from the 1940s all the way to 2005. Any
series from the '50s and '60s you ever heard of, he was in it. One of
the greats.

That's the aptly-named Tristram Coffin on the right, isn't it?
Yes. The pic is from "Mystery of the Broken Statues," which was shot
right after (or along with) "The Case of the Talkative Dummy." Tris
Coffin and Phillip Pine are in both episodes.

The one with Abraham Lincoln? Oh yeah, that's embarassing.
This happens to be a character actor who I've hardly ever seen, but he
was in a ton of shows. I haven't even seen the "Dick Van Dyke Show"
episode he was in. The only shows I've seen him in are "Star Trek" and
"Twilight Zone" (episode "The Four of Us Are Dying", where he's excellent,
by the way).
Stacia
According to his IMDb bio he was the (much) older brother of actor
Robert Pine. However, there is no mention of the relationship in
Robert Pine's bio.
