Spin observes that it sometimes sees Star Trek in Pop Music and gives 9 examples. One of them is our own Mick:

7. Mick Fleetwood guest stars on Star Trek: the Next Generation
I remember visiting London once and seeing Mick Fleetwood stroll by. Well over six feet tall, with long hair, and a big smile, the Fleetwood Mac drummer was hard to miss. He was harder to spot on his guest appearance on TNG. Playing a member of the Antedean race, Fleetwood donned makeup that made him look like a giant walking fish.

I've never watched that episode but I think it would be amazing.

I'm sure everyone is already aware of this, but I thought I'd mention it anyway, that Mick did a guest shot in the film "Running Man" and on a short lived TV series about an undercover FBI agent who did a sting operation on the music business. It also co starred Glen Fry and Debbie Harry from Blondie. Mick played some whacky music producer who helps the agent in his sting operation. I think Mick did about 3 episodes, but that was many years ago and I honestly don't remember for sure.

Anyone remember the name of the series?

The series was "Wiseguy" -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0749460/

I'm not sure, but I think he played a tall guy.

Hmm, the only episode I know of he was in of Wiseguy was the one entitled "And It Comes Out Here". Do you know which other 2 he was in?

Figures these were included in the one "arc" (as they called them) that weren't released on DVD (presumably because this music arc has too much legal hang ups in it for release on disc).

I think you are totally right. It's been a long time since I saw the show and remember watching all of them but honestly didn't recall how many episodes Mick did. Obviously it was at least one.

Thanks for the correction.

He also did some tv movie called Mr. Music.

Yes, he did. If I recall correctly (and someone will definitely correct me if I don't!!!!), I'm pretty sure Mick is shown actually playing guitar on a roof top in that movie. If it was actually Mick playing, he didn't sound too bad either.

The movie wasn't that good, but who cares!!

Well, Mick DOES play a surprisingly good lead guitar on "These Strange Times" on the Time album. After being around so many world class guitarists for so many years, something must've rubbed off.
