Mr. Leslie in WNMHGB
Episode 1- Where No Man Has Gone Before
The very first appearance in Star Trek by Lt. Leslie was one that would come to signify his StarFleet career. In the very first scene , before the opening credits, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock are playing 3-D chess. Directly in the backround, having a 'conversation', is the aforementioned Mr. Leslie.
Can you see him? He's right behind Kirk's head. He was known for his stealth nature.
Not until Kirk and Spock get up to leave do we get confirmation that this is indeed the ubiquitious Mr. Leslie. I believe this is the only time we see Leslie wearing a tan or gold colored tunic. I believe there is also one time he wears a blue tunic. Later on in this episode!
His One-Shot Blue Tunic
Later on in this episode, Lt. Gary Mitchell has been corrupted when he aquires god-like powers, and is considered a danger to the ship and crew. Kirk and Spock try to reason with him somehow. Guess who is there to provide armed back-up? Why Mr. Leslie!
This was a promising episode for Leslie, appearing in a key scene with the protaganist and given a dangerous weapon to hold.  To think what greatness could have sprung from this opportunity.  But alas, his role wouldn't really grow from here, and save for a few memorable but brief moments, he was destined for nothing more than galactic anonymity.
