Anyone familiar with the 'proper' Star Trek episode "Mirror, Mirror"? When Spock had a beard, if that helps? One crucial plot element (though I might just be thinking of the James Blish paperback adaptation, based on the original draft script) was that when Kirk and his senior officers switched places with their other, violent, Universe's alter egos, it was easier for our Kirk as a civilised man to feign being a barbarian than for the barbarian version to act civilised. You can take this to mean whichever way you wish, but it does illustrate the difficulties of either side of the fence to portray someone from the other successfully enough to get away with it for long - Poe's Law notwithstanding.
