My father watched TNG almost every day. We lost him yesterday to cancer after 3 years of fighting. Veteran, father and a huge fan of Star trek. I'm sure he's boldly going now..
I will always remember going to the drive-in theater to see the Wrath of Kahn. He laid out in the back of the truck with my brother, sister and I and stayed there the whole movie.
Louise Fletcher and I are both from Birmingham Alabama. In 1998, I met her at a commemoration of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. At that point in my life, I only knew her as Kai Winn and not yet as Nurse Rached. When I told her that her character terrified me, she said in her Winn voice "Well isn't that the point, my child?" Oh man, it sent shivers down my spine. But she hugged me tightly and told me she was happy to meet me. It was one great, warm hug. I will treasure that memory. I did get a picture with her, but being 1998 and still using film cameras, the roll didn't fully develop, including our picture. 😕
You should watch the 1980s version of "Flowers in the attic". She played the grandmother and was chilling or "One flew over the Cuckoo's nest" Nurse Ratched is the standard.
Whenever I watch one of those awards shows and they do their "those we lost" tribute video, I'm always frustrated how little time they give everyone. I understand the time constraints, but people with long, varied careers get maybe a few seconds on screen one last time. This video does it right. Highlighting everyone from the "big stars" to the one-time players, and giving them respect for their careers beyond Trek. Well done, Sean. Well done indeed.
I agree. It's very long, but I enjoyed learning things I never knew about them. Most of them made it to some pretty good ages. We can hope that we will be remembered as fondly when our time comes.
I'd like to thank you for also featuring the production crew and authors at the beginning. I know they don't get in front of the camera, but they still have a big hand in making everything you see on-screen...or even *both* hands, in Greg Jein's case.
As a trekie of a certain age, I realize that this list will only grow longer as I get older. None the less I would thank all of the actors who were part of the Star Trek Universe for their contributions no matter how small. They have made a difference for the better in a lot of peoples lives.
I can relate. I've been watching Star Trek since "The Man Trap" premiered in 1966. It hurts that nearly all the original cast has since died. Of the principle characters, I think George Takei and William Shatner are the only ones left.
@@christopherstephenjenksbsg4944 Thankfully Walter Koenig is still around around, though we don't hear much from him anymore that I know of. Take care.
"this list will only grow longer as I get older" No, no it won't .. 2022 is over .. it's just not possible for a list of deaths in 2022 to get any longer now 🥴 so feel free to get older without having to worry about that 👍
RIP to all the actors and actresses from the Star Trek Series and all the personal who worked behind the shows we have lost through out the years since the 60's. 💔🙏🌟💗🤍🤎❤🧡💛💚💙💜✌🖖 May all of your histories live long and be remembered by everybody.
What a loving and respectful list, Sean. It was well-researched and showing clips throughout the careers really helped me feel for the actors. Sean, I would personally like to thank you for your well wishes at the end of your videos. My grandpa is Ukrainian and my mother Iranian and I still have a first cousin there. That you give those struggling in those countries a shout out means a lot to me. In this new year, let us all pray for peace.
@@noahhyde8769 obviously an error was made. It's ok to just know it's a mistake by using all your life knowledge and experience and Instinct and Intuition and depending on context and word arrangement or which word(s) are/were/is use(d) you can immediately detect a mistake accurately 99% of the time. No need to ask him or other commenters a question in a clearly and obviously careful tone acting like you may be the one who's wrong and you just think that the video creator made a mistake.
It wasn't so “loving” for those whose politics he disagreed with. He said Robert Brown was a piss-poor actor but I don't think that is fair. I loved the episode he was in. That story haunted me in fact even though as a child I did not quite understand the concept of an alternate universe. What was wrong with his acting? He didn’t say and of course the deceased can’t defend himself anymore.
I'm a lifelong Trekker, I appreciate the comprehensive information and the fantastic presentation of this video. I love Star Trek because it's a legacy show. So many things come out from the show, it's great. Thank you for your time and caring you gave everyone on this list.
It’s not easy to go through a list like this. So many talented people who graced the silver screen, or television, now gone from us. For most of them, I was not ready to hear the news of their passing. Their contribution to Star Trek, as well as the film industry will be missed, even though we can see them time and time again in reruns. Thanks so much for taking the time to acknowledge these wonderful people. May they all Rest In Peace.
There is soo much LOVE among the Star Trek fans. Soo much LOVE given by these fans. A loving family I am proud to belong to. Thankful that I am loving as well. Grateful to everyone who has contributed to my life. There are no words to describe the loss I feel from the passing on of anyone who contributed to Star Trek.
Yes, it was long but fascinating! As a ST fan, I recognized most of the roles, and I so appreciate the lesser roles in ST these days. Thanks for highlighting all of these actors. Appreciate the research and the terrific delivery of so many facts.
a list of people behind the scenes too... please... just as fascinating and important in my mind... and you guys do it so well.... and you know.. these people just deserve highlighting!
I second that! When I saw the List of the people behind the scenes I thought that it would be fascinating to have some well researched lists here on this channel on the directors, authors and other people behind the scenes.
Gem was also the name I gave my first dog. She was a mixed Aussie/BC, 6 weeks old, that I bought at a local petstore-it let you adopt pets rather than buy them-in '79. She stuck close to me and wouldn't leave my side as I cried because my dad didn't want any more dogs that would die soon. My mother noticed that she had cheered me up as we watched an 'The Empath' rerun. Dad soon told me I could keep her and grew to love her. I named my puppy Gem (the Empath). She not only cheered me up, bur could tell when I was down or mad, but others also as well-including my niece Patti. She died in '92 and I had other BCs over the years. All very smart dogs.
RIP to all of the actors and all of the people who have worked behind the cameras. Thank you for bringing us this list even though it is bittersweet to hear that they have passed on.
LOVE Paul Sorvino’s comments in protection of his daughter. Despite his wanting to be separated from gangster roles, his response was very Tony Soprano-esque.
Thank you, Sean, and everyone at Trek Culture. I'm listening to the ages of those who passed away and I am shocked at how close they are to my own age! VERY few were younger. Most are only 10 to 20 years older than me. This list reminds me to carpe that old diem!
I stumbled across an actor who passed away December 2nd, 2022: Danny Goldring. He played 5 different characters across 3 series. On DS9 he portrayed Legate Kell in "Civil Defense" & Cheif Burke in "Nor the Battle to the Strong". On Voyager he played the Alpha Hirogen Karr in "The Killing Game". On Enterprise he played the Nausicaan Captain in the episode "Fortunate Son" & the Takret Captain in "The Catwalk".
So, the core crew is down to William, Walter and George. I had not realized Nichelle has died this year. Oh girl was she incredible. But she will be very long remembered. Leaving a big legacy.
David Warner played the bodyguard of Billy Zane's character in "Titanic". He was the man who chained or handcuffed Leonardo DiCaprio's character to a pipe while the ship was sinking. Warner also played Bob Cratchit in the 1984 production of "A Christmas Carol", along side George C. Scott's Ebenezer Scrooge. David Warner was a gifted and most versatile actor.
Sean, your team did an excellent job with this memoriam. Exquisitely researched and lovingly presented. Great detail... not just skimming the highlights of these peoples' lives and Star Trek careers! I have 3 additions for you - sorry for the long post! Among his many career roles, Paul Sorvino was also in "Mambo Italiano", a 2003 film about the son of Italian immigrants to Canada, struggling to find the best way to reveal to his parents that he's gay. Sorvino masterfully played Gino Barberini, the father of the protagonist, played by Luke Kirby. He also did a great job working with Ginette Reno, who played his stereotypical Italian wife, Maria. Wonderful film... if you can find it! I miss Leslie Jordan so much. I loved his "Leslie Allen Jordan, reporting for duty!" bits on TikTok during lockdown, as you mentioned. After his great run on "Will & Grace" (1998+), I came across him in "Sordid Lives", the hilarious Del Shores Production's movie (2000) and subsequent series (2008), where Jordan played a Transvestite named "Brother Boy", who was tossed into an asylum by his Southern Baptist mother, played by the late Rue McClanahan. It also starred the late, great Olivia Newton John, who we also lost in 2022. Louise Fletcher was amazing as the cringeworthy Kai Winn. I hated her SO much! But I loved that you mentioned her 2011 role in "Shameless" as Frank Gallagher's foul-mouthed mother, Peggy, who was in jail for manslaughter. She was a total gem! Thanks for this tribute!
A long and depressing list but I'd say more bittersweet. The memories as a Trekkie of all these wonderful people, I'm sure they'd just be happy knowing we enjoyed their performances, let alone how much they impacted on us. Cheers to you all, and all we lost this past year. Hopefully next, we won't need another video like this but a celebration of all Trekkie actors. Here's hoping anyeay
_R.I.P._ to everyone mentioned on this list. I myself am approaching my 62nd birthday. When you get to be this old, you understand a line Captain Picard spoke in one of the movies {I think}, which I quote from memory: _"You realize there are more years behind than ahead."_
I think it would be perfectly appropriate to do a video about "behind the scenes" deaths, too. I know some of the names on your list, and frankly did not know that they had died, and I'd love to know more about their lives and their involvement in Star Trek.
This was really beautiful. It makes me love the Trek community even more. It was absolutely fascinating to learn about these actors that for the most part I recognized. Thank you for doing this ❤
David Birney was put on my radar as a teen since he was in the early seasons of St. Elsewhere as a doctor while at the same time his wife Meredith Baxter-Birney was on the hit show Family Ties as the mom of Alex P. Keaton played by Michael J. Fox.
Thank you for this respectful review, Sean. FYI, Soohoo died at the age of 90 (rather than 80). So he married his wife of 70 years at a more reasonable age of 20 (rather than 10!).
As I watched season 1 of Strange New Worlds I became aware that Uhura's story arc was directly inspired by Nichelle's first season on Star Trek. Celia's younger iteration was unsure of her path in life, didn't know if she belonged in Starfleet. This parallels Nichelle in that first season on TOS, she wanted to quit. Then they both recieved vital encouragement from a deeply respected pacifist who dies tragically, ie Hemmer and Dr. King respectively. Inspiring them to greater heights.
I never realized Kathryn Hays was on ST:TOS. I’ve seen that ep over the years and it’s so memorable. I knew her my entire life though, as Kim Hughes on ATWT. Her character always had such strong storylines-she was the heart of the show in many ways, imbuing that same compassion as her Trek character. Such a loss-I feel like I lost a part of my family. 💗💐🙏🏻
Thank you for the love, effort and respect you put into this list. It's makes this feel more like a tribute to these people and that made this all the more touching.
Really, this is the best memorial listing for actors (and non actors) I've seen in a long while. Very detailed, well researched and thoughtful. I worked briefly with Mike Hagerty in the early 1990's. I can't say I knew him well but he seemed professional and courteous in my brief association. I've been binge watching the original series through the holidays and very much appreciated the start of the video with Nichelle Nichols. Uhura is simply iconic. I was also very pleased you covered actresses Maggie Thrett, Valora Noland and Laurel Goodwin. Very well done. Thank you.
I had forgotten that Mitchell Ryan had played Riker's father. I became a big fan of Dark Shadows around the same time that Star Trek (TOS) first aired. Dark Shadows was my "other" tv obsession at the time. He was fired from the show shortly after I first started watching, and watching old footage I can understand why. I'm so glad that led to his eventual treatment and recovery for alcoholism.
Allow me to add my thanks to you for doing such a fine job of helping us remember, so thoughtfully, thoroughly and respectfully, all these actors who made such an impact on our lives.
I really appreciate the respect you’ve shown all these professionals. And you give details from everyone, including “bit players.” Everybody has a story!!!
Mitchell Ryan was in the movie Liar Liar starring Jim Carrey. He played the role of "Mr. Allen" and the most memorable moment for me was the roasting scene in the meeting room. Absolutely brilliant scene and still has me in stitches to this day.
Well written and presented, Trekculture and Sean. Some of the people on the list I hadn't even heard about through the year. Thanks also for mentioning the behind the scenes folks at the beginning, they were just as important as the ones in front of the camera.
The main one that stands out to me was Kirstie Alley. I remember some of the other ones but I didn't know their names, or I remembered their names (Paul Sorvino) and didn't remember them being in ST. Hottest Vulcan ever, Kirstie Alley.
Tremendous tribute, I learned so much. A reminder of the breath of the Star Trek Universe and family. With all the new series, I anticipate more young people will grow up with the noble ideals of IDIC and keep looking toward the stars. Happy New Year 2023.
April Nocifora passed in 2021. I don't know if she made it to the 2021 obituary segment. Sounds like she slipped through the cracks - too late for the last one, too early for this one. RIP, April. We love you.
At 25:45 you say that Walter Soo Hoo died at the age of 80. He actually died at the age of 90. An important detail given that you also say he had been married for 70 years, which is a lot less creepy if he died at age 90, rather than 80.
Dorothy Duder was pretty much the *chef* behind the scenes for ST:Enterprise (there was an "onscreen" chef on Archer's Enterprise, but it was usually Dorothy who did the food). She was also married to Doug Drexler.
Thanks so much for producing this list!👏 When is the spotlight ever put on sub-supporting characters and characters without lines who are basically just extras! Aside from a few well-known personalities, your list mainly consisted of these unsung talents.👍👍
Louise Fletcher was truly a fantastic actress she played the role so well of the character of Kai Winn she played it with such villainy that you forgot any other role that you might have played in you saw her only as that character you really wanted to see that character get its comeuppance, and when you did see her in some other part and some other show and playing some other place you couldn't believe it was the same person it took your moment to realize that that was the same person that's how good an actress she was and I think that says it all.

man i would have loved to have met her. she played the villan well.
What a lovely story. Sadly, no photo, but the memory survives.
Isn’t it amazing how the most heinous villains are the nicest people in real life?
A shame about the film, but what a wonderful memory! 😊
You should watch the 1980s version of "Flowers in the attic".
She played the grandmother and was chilling or "One flew over the Cuckoo's nest" Nurse Ratched is the standard.

One question, though: #17 (Walter Soo Hoo) passed at age 80...but this video said he'd been married for 70 years? He was 10 when he got married?

Mitchell Ryan also played Greg's father in Dharma and Greg as well as an Admiral in the movie Midway.
I really appreciate the respect you’ve shown all these professionals. And you give details from everyone, including “bit players.” Everybody has a story!!!
This was nicely done. Thank you for all of the wonderful stories of all of these wonderful, funny, and brilliant people.
as sad as it is to hear of all these losses at least most of them passed at a considerable age...well done for living so long...
Thank you for this in-depth, respectful group of obits/bios for various wonderful people of Star Trek.
It's important for the community that these sort of videos get made. Thank you.
Informed, informative, respectful and inclusive. Thank you for this post.
The Tony Dow you mentioned was the same Tony Dow who played Wally Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver.. He was a director of the episode Field of Fire.
Thank was a wonderful review of 2022. Thank you for taking the time to research and present this episode
Mitchell Ryan was in the movie Liar Liar starring Jim Carrey. He played the role of "Mr. Allen" and the most memorable moment for me was the roasting scene in the meeting room. Absolutely brilliant scene and still has me in stitches to this day.
" Keep an eye on that boy!"
Exemplary historical review. The effort is astounding. Thank you for doing this.
Well written and presented, Trekculture and Sean. Some of the people on the list I hadn't even heard about through the year. Thanks also for mentioning the behind the scenes folks at the beginning, they were just as important as the ones in front of the camera.
I think you did a great job of including these actors' accomplishments outside of Star Trek. Thanks for this.
Thank you and the team for all your hard work over the past year, look after yourself too and a happy and healthy 2023 to you all
Wow! I feel old. 😄 Great job, Sean!
Thank you for this, it’s a beautiful homage to actors of the Star Trek universe ❤
This may be the most depressing RUclips videos I've ever watched. So many lost. So much talent. Thank you for the memories.
Oh, I didn't know Douglas Trumbull passed on. His effects work is legendary. I'll think of him whenever I see his work.
Being a fan of both Star Trek and Dark Shadows, Mitchell Ryan's death hit me the hardest.
Such a sad year to lose so many fine people.
35 is too many for one year... my condolences to all their families and friends.
This was a beautiful and eye opening list. Thank you for all the thoughtful attention and obvious love you put into every moment of it. 🙏❤️🥰🖖
Rest in Peace Space Karen. I always loved to hate Kai Winn, a tribute to your legendary acting skills.
Missed the notification for this but what a amazing send off 🥺. Fantastic job Trek Culture ✌🏽
The main one that stands out to me was Kirstie Alley.
I remember some of the other ones but I didn't know their names, or I remembered their names (Paul Sorvino) and didn't remember them being in ST.
Hottest Vulcan ever, Kirstie Alley.
Sensitive, considerate and wonderful. Thank you.
These were all great actors, and people... Thank you for sharing this !!!!
I've lived to see them all. Katherine Hays as "Gem" is one of my fondest memories as an early teen , and I'm sure I'm not alone :-)
Long list, sadly, but I appreciate you producing it.
Tremendous tribute, I learned so much. A reminder of the breath of the Star Trek Universe and family. With all the new series, I anticipate more young people will grow up with the noble ideals of IDIC and keep looking toward the stars.
Happy New Year 2023.
I wanted to watch this, and at the same time, I didn't want to watch this. I hate seeing who is gone. Very well done, very respectful.
Thanks for such an informative video. Louise Fletcher as Kai Winn was definitely someone I loved to hate.
Great job with this, very respectfully done. No issue at all with it being a longer vid either.
Thanks so much to you and the team for collating this. Really good.
My cousin, Tim McCormack died suddenly and unexpectedly on 11/20/2022, a cast member of Star Trek The Next Generation
I'm so happy you took time and dedication to do that video, not like those 3sec he died flash vidoes. They deserve more time
David Warner was just the best....I saw him at The RSC in Stratford On Avon with David Tennant in Hamlet....Magnificent actor
April Nocifora passed in 2021. I don't know if she made it to the 2021 obituary segment. Sounds like she slipped through the cracks - too late for the last one, too early for this one. RIP, April. We love you.
"And The Rock Cried Out ..." one of my favorite episodes of B5
This is by far the best Trek channel. Thank you.
At 25:45 you say that Walter Soo Hoo died at the age of 80. He actually died at the age of 90. An important detail given that you also say he had been married for 70 years, which is a lot less creepy if he died at age 90, rather than 80.
I'm glad someone mentioned this. I had to rewind to make sure I heard it correctly at first. Thanks for the correction.
@@georgehall6476same here 😂
Just couldn't resist having a dig at Kirstie Alley, could you.
Dorothy Duder was pretty much the *chef* behind the scenes for ST:Enterprise (there was an "onscreen" chef on Archer's Enterprise, but it was usually Dorothy who did the food). She was also married to Doug Drexler.
When you mentioned Ryan I'm surprised you didn't mention darma and Greg that's what I always think of him as playing the father of Greg
This is what I love about Star Trek. Such A Respectful and honoring video.
Thank you for doing this. I did not know that so many had died this year, so many names that I recognize.
Thank you and your team for this retrospective. Happy New Year!
Thank you! That was, in my humble opinion, one of your best videos.
Thanks so much for producing this
list!👏
When is the spotlight ever put on sub-supporting characters and characters without lines who are basically just extras! Aside from a few well-known personalities, your list mainly consisted of these unsung talents.👍👍
They rest in peace ✌️ they be missing a lot they better places in heaven they legend lives on forever
Thank you so much for this. Happy memories. Thank you. X
Louise Fletcher was truly a fantastic actress she played the role so well of the character of Kai Winn she played it with such villainy that you forgot any other role that you might have played in you saw her only as that character you really wanted to see that character get its comeuppance, and when you did see her in some other part and some other show and playing some other place you couldn't believe it was the same person it took your moment to realize that that was the same person that's how good an actress she was and I think that says it all.
