Personal Quote:

Hippies. They make them out to be bad. I'm not bad. I love everybody. Well, I like everybody.

Trivia:

In 1966, at the age of 27, Michael Pollard was hired as a guest star on Star Trek, playing "Jahn" in the episode "Miri". The script called for an actor 14 years of age, but Pollard got the part anyway since his agent convinced the show's producers that he looked like a teenager even though he was close to 30.
