Quote LOS ANGELES (AP) — The actor who played the original Klingon on TV's "Star Trek" has died. A longtime friend and spokesman for Michael Ansara says the actor died Wednesday at his home in Calabasas, Calif. after a long illness. He was 91. Besides playing Kang the Klingon in various "Star Trek" series, Ansara appeared on dozens of TV shows, including "Broken Arrow," ''Law of the Plainsman," ''I Dream of Jeannie," ''Hawaii 5-0" and "Murder, She Wrote." His film credits include "Julius Caesar," ''Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," ''The Greatest Story Ever Told" and "The Comancheros" with John Wayne. RIP Kang.

Title: Re: RIP Michael Ansara Post by: trekgeezer on August 07, 2013, 03:04:59 PM Hate to correct people , but Jon Colicos portrayed Kor , which was the first Klingon shown on screen.
Amsara did his share of bad movies ,, remember the Manitou. Title: Re: RIP Michael Ansara Post by: JaseSF on August 24, 2013, 06:55:39 PM R.I.P. Michael Ansara, a familiar face in so many great character roles.
