Star Trek passings

Grant, this is the worst year ever since we've been keeping track. 23 so far this year, I think. She was only 55 and Grant Imahara at 49. I'm too unhappy, my man.
 
Maurice Roeves has passed away at age 83. He appeared on Star Trek the Next Generation. Rest in peace.

He only had a few scenes in the TNG episode The Chase.

I knew him from numerous British TV shows and films. While such a seasoned and experienced actor could give the performance he did on The Chase episode with his eyes shut, he had the on screen presence to give the speech at the end of the episode with an air of sincerity and believability that other actors would fail to do.

It also made me realise that the series and others in the franchise had the quality of actors who only came on and only appeared for a few scenes.

I know from an interview with him (which I would have been involved in if it hadn't been for tube problems; as it was I just got to write up the tape) that he liked that part because he could imply that he and Picard might be comrades once current hostility was over.
 
Did anyone note the passing of original series actor Erik Holland or next Generation actor Edward Penn?

This is going to sound so wrong but here goes: Leonard Nimoy’s death: biggest impact
 
Herb Solow, producer and who pitched Star Trek to the networks, passed away, age of 89.
 
George Sasaki, age 89, passed away Nov. 10th, 2020 of natural causes. He played a crewman in ST II: The Wrath of Khan.
 
Peter Mark Richman who appeared in the Next Generation episode "The Neutral Zone" -- has passed away at age 93
He literally did every show on television in the 1950s and 60s. Alfred Hitchcock Presents The Outer Limits The Twilight Zone Wild Wild West The Invaders...... and on and on and on. And sadly he now appears to be the first Star Trek actor to die in 2021. Rest in peace.

I had read about his death but didn't recognize his name with Trek. I have seen him in many tv shows, especially Outer Limits and Twilight Zone. A great actor.
 
He is one of 96 actors from the original Twilight Zone to appear in one version of Star Trek or another.
