Did that Star Roddy McDowall?

Yes, and Pamela Franklin. Her character was outlasted by the other three. In reality, it's just her now.

That's the one I knew him from. Saw it first close to forty years ago, and all these years later, when I see it, I still have to sleep with the lights on...

Ah, yes... The "Alameda" lady. That's a deep cut. A great shame that all these people are slowly disappearing. Seems like yesterday...

One of my favorite stand-alone DS9 episodes. He was a fantastic actor - his portrayal of that character was quite moving. Such a loss.

 

[AntonyF]

He was an incredible asset to Deep Space Nine, and the wider Star Trek universe. What an icon, forever remembered from just one guest role.

Now that is very sad news. Yulin was a brilliant character actor with tremendous range, subtlety, and power. Genuinely one of Star Trek's best ever one-off guest stars.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Yulin had a heavy load:he had to be convincing as both Marritza and Darheel, a sniveling functionary, brutal narcissist, contrite accomplice.
