While we know that Basil Poledouris appeared in the original STAR TREK TV series as one of the infamous red shirt guys. Being on the top of the game of composing for film during the 80s and 90s, he never got involved in STAR TREK.
I wonder if he was ever considered to join the composer category during the respective filmsin the above mentioned period.
Anyone know for sure?
I'm sure I read somewhere that he was considered for Star Trek VI along with Leonard Rosenman and one or two others.
A Poledouris Trek score would no doubt have been fantastic. Listen to some of the Trek like moments in The Hunt For Red October and Starship Troopers and you'll see why......

There was a rumor, which may have been nothing more than that, that he was considered for The Undiscovered Country. I'm guessing that if it had any basis, he was either too busy at the time or thye budget for the score wasn't enough.

BTW, in addition to being an extra on Class STAR TREK, he also once told me he was an extra on some episodes of I SPY as well.

You know, I thought I remembered he was in two episodes of TOS. I'm srue I remembered reading that at a Trek message board. I'll dig around...
EDIT:
Make that multiple episodes. The Trek forum actually mentioned and linked to FSM:

Six Degrees of Trek separation: IMDb lists him for an uncredited role in the film "First to Fight", scored by Fred Steiner.

One of those fan TOS production series should cast Zoe as a red shirt and then cast her as a Klingon in other episode.

Not sure what that implies... Are you saying composers at the top of their game wouldn't do Star Trek? Cuz, I dunno, Goldsmith and Horner weren't exactly slumming.
And Poledouris did some less than amazing films in the 80's and 90's. Under Siege 2 or On Deadly Ground, anyone? Great scores, but the former is a guilty pleasure at best, while the other is just crap.
Did Poledouris command more money than Goldsmith? It seemed like almost any low budget flick was able to get Jerry if they wanted. Damn, Cannon films even did.
