Star Trek passings

[137th Gebirg]

Small yet significant role in Demolition Man. Great actor.

 

[Macintosh]

He had memorable guest roles in two of my favourite non-Trek shows, The West Wing and Six Feet Under. Sad news.

 

[Rowdy Roddy McDowall]

In 1991 he had the great privilege of sending Wesley Snipes to hell in NEW JACK CITY......character-wise.

Eep. Someone who played a kid in a show that aired in my lifetime. I'm gettin' old.

I assume you mean Lucan, which aired 1977-78 when he was in his twenties.

There are actors who portrayed kids when they were still kids, during your lifetime, who have died.

Howard Hunter - what a character.

 

[Grant]

What! James Sikking died!!! Last week?

 

[keel]

Grant, we missed seven (7) other actors who passed in 2023. I'm going to have to start my indepth research again soon. These people weren't reported in the news until recently. Maybe family didn't want to release the news until now. Anyway, they are:
Martine Wood, 81. Played an alien prisoner in Voyager's episode 'Faces'.
Dan Kern, 74. Played Lt. Dean on TNG's episode 'We'll always have Paris'.
Glenn Ota, 76, played a Benzite on Enterprises's episode 'Broken Bow'.
Robert Jodlowski, age not given, played an alien in the background on DSN's episode 'Emissary'.
Randall Bosley, 75, played an Ocampa on DSN's episode 'Caretaker'.
Douglas Rowe, 85, played the character of Debin on TNG's episode 'The Outrageous Okona'.
Tom Ormeny, 77, played the 1st Officer aboard the Bortas in TNG's episode 'Redemption'.

What! James Sikking died!!! Last week?

Ten days ago, when Trump was wounded. But the printed edition of the Washington Post hasn't gotten around to mentioning Sikking yet. They see no problem waiting three to four weeks for actors who never won Emmys.

The last seven that I posted took almost a full year to release their names.

I admit it always annoyed me they didn't have her back for the last two TNG movies.

 

[mswood]

Sorry to hear this. As I always liked when TNG actually choose to use an extended cast.
