Kang first appeared in the Original Series episode Day Of The Dove. He was played by Michael Ansara, a Syrian born actor who often portrayed Native Americans and Hispanics on various TV series throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
Ansara played Kang three times on three different Trek series over the years: in the aforementioned Day Of The Dove, the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode Blood Oath, and the Star Trek: Voyager episode Flashback.
Ansara was at one time married to Barbara Eden, TV's Jeannie of I Dream Of Jeannie fame! Some guys get all the breaks!
