Brock Peters dies


Brock Peters dies at the Age of 78

The wonderfully talented actor Brock Peters died in his house surrounded by his family today. Brock Peter was best known for his role in To Kill a Mockingbird. In addition, to most trekkers, he was Adm. Cartwright in two of the Star Trek movies. He also played the father of Captain Sisko. Peters died from a battle with pancreatic cancer. He will be missed.

I remembered watching him in Star Trek VI and being impressed with his fine work, yet small part on that Film. Please note that he also played the voice of Darth Vader in the radio Star Wars shows.

Look at his work here http://imdb.com/name/nm0676349/

I liked him best at Ben Sisko's dad in Deep Space Nine. Such a great fatherly presence, plus he made a mean gumbo!
