    RIP. If there was a fourth season or Phase II I would have liked to have seen him back.

    I always thought he was a scary looking Romulan in the episode, backed up by that weird music and his features rippling into view later on! RIP :vulcan:

    Absolutely fantastic face for the elder Vulcan priest. Chiseled in rock. Magnificent.

    And he played my favorite Romulan.

    Oh I loved Sub-Commander Tal. Donner's performance was spot on. R.I.P. Mr Donner.

    A dark week....

    Jack Donner graciously reprised his role as Sub-Commander Tal for the 50th TOS anniversary episode of the fan-produced audio drama "Tomorrow's Enterprise". By all accounts he was fun to work with and he did a great job. One of his acting students was Craig T. Nelson. After a serious illness in the mid 70s he went back to school and become a psychologist. It was a full life, well lived.
