Oh yeah... he was vilain, pairing up with a witch of some sort in this weird episode of Star Trek, where a landing party descend to this spooky, halloween-like planet and (yet again) Kirk has to find his way through all sorts of perils (including a gigantic black cat).

This scene is from this episode:
