Peter-Henry Schroeder, known for his roles in Star Trek and the Oscar-winning film Argo, has sadly passed away at the age of 90. The actor, who played a Klingon in Star Trek: Enterprise and served as a producer for Argo, died surrounded by loved ones at Lake City VA Medical Center in Florida on June 7th.
In his last days, Peter would often ask his family: “When are you going to get me out of here? I’ve got to get back to LA [for work].”
After serving in the US Army during the Korean War from 1953 to 1955, he pursued a career in acting and singing, releasing singles such as Where’s the Girl for Me and Memories of Marilyn.
He shared screen time with Meryl Streep in The Seduction of Joe Tynan and made an appearance in a 1989 episode of Cheers. His most recent acting gig was in the 2020 film Sammy-Gate, where he portrayed Santo Trafficante.
