Malachi Throne also played False Face, Senator Pardek, plus many other roles over the decades in his long career as a journeyman character actor.

Narrating the original Star Wars trailer was his finest role.

He was good as a doomed Israeli ambassador on The West Wing. RIP.

I wonder how many actors affiliated with TOS have died so far?

 

[Starship Coyote]

Not enough.

go sit shiva. i think about six

 

[CaptainWacky]

I think far more than six.

 

[Aquehonga]

I didn't know about the STAR WARS trailer. That's cool!

Regarding number of actors & actresses from TOS who are now dead, it's a good number. Especially given TOS is pushing half a century old.

I knew John Fiedler as one of Bob's regular patients on The Bob Newhart show, and for playing various 70s sitcom villains and/or mean-but-mousey-old-white guys.

Great list! I was curious and googled William Campbell (Trelane) from "The Squire of Gothos" episode & discovered he died in 2011.

I forgot all about that. WC also played Klingon Captain Koloth in "The Trouble With Tribbles".

William Windom died not long ago.

Commodore Decker! Too bad WW never returned to Trek in any of the movies, TNG, DS9, VOY, &/or ENT as other characters.

Go drink the blood of a white baby. It makes your matzoh taste better.

Let's not forget Shatner's hair, which died a natural death back in the 70s.
