Lurker 5 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Actor Brock Peters has died. Star Trek fans will know him either as Admiral Cartwright from Star Trek's IV and VI or as Benjamin Siskos dad, Joseph, on Deep Space 9. Star Wars fans should know him from his portrayl of Darth Vader in the radio shows.He was 78 and died of pancreatic cancer. You can read his obituary here.Rest in peace, Mr. Peters.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Also as Tom in "To Kill a Mockingbird." Great performance. I always thought his work was on par with Gregory Peck's. As you can see by Neil's post, most don't remember that Peters did that role.I think I'll watch "Mockingbird" this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morn 8 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Ohh that's sad he was quite good, able to make a likable character that an audience would be sympathetic to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I thought Brock's performance of TKAM was great, does this mean his restaurant in Naw'lins is going to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Damn another good Star Trek actor has died? Brock Peters was definitely a good actor, I enjoyed him in Star Trek's IV and VI. I was real surprised to see him take on the role as Sikso's father in DS9, even though he was only a guest on the show a few times he still did good. He shall be missed...RIP Brock...
