They hired Walter Koenig for a number of reasons. The Monkees had just made their debut and were popular at the time. Look at Chekov's hairstyle. Also George Takei had taken a role in The Green Berets. The weather where they were shooting Berets was terrible and caused the filming to go on for a longer period of time. Takei missed most of the second season as a result.
