Watching old TV, noting known actors appearing together:

(1) Alfred Hitchcock Presents, "Escape to Sonoita" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0508158/)

Burt Reynolds
Murray Hamilton
Harry Dean Stanton

I recognized James Bell and Robert Karnes but didn't know their names.

(2) A few episodes earlier: "The Schartz-Metterklume Method" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0508344/)

Starring Hermione Gingold and Patricia Hitchcock.

Very strangely, we also have the uncredited:

Angela Cartwright
Veronica Cartwright
Tom Conway
Celeste Holm

...and other known faces.

(3) I recall an episode of The Man from UNCLE with both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, just before Star Trek.

All those anthology programs were like a jobs program for the industry, to our benefit.

I did not experience the age of radio anthology programs, big in the 1940s, but the plots and voice actors are very similar to what was happening in TV 10 years later. Burgess Meredith must have thought he was doing that work forever.

Also, on TV in those days, more often than today the guest stars were given real opportunities to shine. Even in non-anthology shows the episodes often focused more on the story of the guest star than on the regular characters. Wagon Train is just one example of this.

So many. Taylorfirst: of the anthologies, even the smaller scale ones like Zane Grey Theater and One Step Beyond, one often saw major and upcoming talent; and this is by no means limited to cast members. Directors, too: from veterans of old Hollywood, such as John Brahm, Robert Florey, Mitchell Leisen, Jacques Tourneur and George Waggner to up and comers like Robert Altman and Blake Edwards.
