Star Trek passings

If you weren't aware, Prada died in April 2013. Prada played Porthos on Enterprise, all seasons.

Prada played Porthos in his first thirteen appearances in season one of Enterprise, including "Broken Bow", but didn't appear after "Two Days and Two Nights". Prada was the only male of the three dogs to play the role, even though Porthos was male.

Breezy, a female, took over the role in season two because Prada was very placid, which was great if they didn't want Porthos to do anything apart from sit there and look cute, but they wanted a more "playful" and "active" performance. When Breezy wasn't available the role was taken by Windy, Breezy's sister, who was owned by the same trainer. Both Breezy and Windy had to have makeup applied for Porthos's black saddle patches.

Edited because I noticed a spelling mistake.

According to SAG-AFTRAG (summer issue) stuntman and actor Jeremy L. "Jerry" Spicer , who appeared as an Enterpise-D security officer in TNG 4x03 (Brothers) and worked as a stunt double for Robert Duncan McNeill in the first episode of Voyager, died June 6th, 2023.
 
Thanks to everyone who mentions these passings especially of the minor actors who are never going to get any mention in the regular entertainment outlets. Glad they get some recognition for their contribution, however small, to this mythology.
I don't thank the individual posts because it's weird to "like" the notice of someone's death in a way.
 
Actor Tom Klunis, who played Lamonay S./Ibudan in the Deep Space Nine episode "A Man Alone", died October 23rd, according to the SAG-AFTRA fall/winter-edition (p. 62).
 
Sadly, I believe we are down to 1 living director, 5 living writers and zero living composers for TOS.

114 actors (with speaking roles) alive out of 401. Youngest actor with speaking part is 64. Amazingly, only 3 TOS actors died so far this year!! That's crazy since the average age must be early 80s for the surviving actors.

If I'm wrong, please update me. I have 19 actors having died in 2023 in total. Not just speaking roles.
