American television director (1912–1989) who was one of the two most prolific directors of the original Star Trek, with episodes including The Man Trap, Space Seed and Mirror, Mirror.
Marc Daniels (1912–1989) was an American director who had helped establish the multi-camera sitcom method on the first season of I Love Lucy before moving into filmed drama.
He directed The Man Trap, the first Star Trek episode to be broadcast, and went on to direct more than a dozen instalments across the three seasons. Among them are The Naked Time, Court Martial, Space Seed, The Doomsday Machine, Mirror, Mirror, The Changeling and Spock's Brain. He also directed the new framing material for The Menagerie.
Daniels later wrote the animated episode One of Our Planets Is Missing, making him one of the few original-series directors to contribute to The Animated Series.
