He filmed his scenes between Wednesday 15 November 1967 and Friday 17 November 1967 at Desilu Stage 9.
Fortier had previously co-starred with Original Series actor William Shatner (James T. Kirk) in the 1965 horror movie Incubus. He created the winged demon for that movie as well. Alexander the Great, an unsold pilot which starred Shatner in the title role, also featured Fortier.
Fortier frequently worked with director Robert Altman. Altman first directed Fortier on a few television projects, including the pilot for a series called The Gallant Men. Fortier went on to appear in many of Altman's films, including McCabe & Mrs. Miller with René Auberjonois and John Schuck, Popeye with Richard Libertini, and O.C. and Stiggs. The latter two films also featured both Ray Walston and Paul Dooley, the latter of whom also co-starred with Fortier in Altman's Health, along with Alfre Woodard and Henry Gibson. Fortier's largest role was in Altman's 1977 drama 3 Women, also featuring Dennis Christopher and Sierra Pecheur.
Besides his stint on The Original Series, he made appearances on several other television shows, including Combat! (including an episode with Arthur Batanides and James B. Sikking), Gunsmoke (working with Vic Perrin, Andrew Prine, and William Windom) and The Outer Limits. In one episode of The Outer Limits entitled "Controlled Experiment", Fortier played the boyfriend of the character played by Grace Lee Whitney. Another episode of that series, "Production and Decay of Strange Particles", had Fortier working with his Star Trek co-star, Leonard Nimoy, as well a fellow Original Series guest stars Joseph Ruskin, Barry Russo, Willard Sage and Rudy Solari. His third and final Outer Limits episode, "Demon with a Glass Hand", was directed by Byron Haskin, written by Harlan Ellison, and co-starred Rex Holman, Arlene Martel and Abraham Sofaer.
