Oldest Living Star Trek Cast Member

[indycar]

The person could be from any show or movie and it doesn't matter how big their role was.

The oldest that I can think of Christopher Plummer (born December 13, 1929). I'd be curious if there is somebody older, since I was only thinking of main cast members or major characters.

Still looking up people, but I already found Joanne Linville, the Romulan Commander in The Enterprise Incident. She's born in 1928

Oh damn. I looked up Bill Erwin (played Beverly's mentor in Remember me). He was born in 1914. He would have been 102 but he passed away in 2010.

Olad Pooley was the same age, but he passed away last year. He was the old..."shaman" or whatever who talked to younger man who was sending up scrolls to Voyager in Blink of an Eye.

It seems Norman Lloyd is currently the oldest at 102. He played Professor Galen in TNG's The Chase.


From Memory Alpha....
Having celebrated his 102nd birthday on 8 November 2016, Lloyd is the oldest living known actor to have appeared in the Star Trek franchise, following the death of Star Trek: Voyager guest star Olaf Pooley in July 2015. He is only the fourth Star Trek performer to reach the age of 100, following Viola Stimpson, Ellen Albertini Dow, and Olaf Pooley. He is the first Star Trek performer to reach the age of 102.


Google is your friend...."Oldest living star trek actor"...That's it.

Holy crap! Norman Lloyd, who played Professor Galen in TNG's "The Chase", is still going at having just turned 102. Born in 1914

Holy crap! I think I've got a winner. Norman Lloyd, who played Professor Galen in TNG's "The Chase", is still going at having just turned 103. Born in 1914

This guy played tennis twice a week until June 2015 and only then because he fell while playing.

For more substantial roles I imagine Diana Muldaur is getting up there.

 

[Finn]

Shatner, Nichols, Koenig and Takei are all older I believe.

 

[FormerLurker]

Takei may not be. He is the youngest of the original cast.

 

[Finn]

Takei may not be. He is the youngest of the original cast.

Takei was born in 1937. Muldaur was born in 1938. Google is your friend.

 

[Tracy Trek]

Takei was younger than Keonig?

 

[diankra]

Takei was younger than Keonig?

Yep. One of those 'actually quite well known' facts!

 

[The Old Mixer]

I did not know that!

 

[FormerLurker]

You need to get out more.

 

[JRoss]

Huh, I think I got her confused with someone else. Not nearly as old as I thought. Only like 51 on TNG, and like 30 on TOS.

 

[Finn]

You need to get out more.

You mean he needs to stay in more....?

Marsha Hunt, who played Anne Jameson in "Too Short a Season", at 99, is the second oldest living Trek performer (after Lloyd) and the oldest living female performer.

 

[retroenzo]

I wonder who the youngest living Star Trek actor is. Were there any babies in Star Trek Beyond?

 

[Finn]

^NuSulu's kid?

I remember Keith Oolbermann talking about how he played tennis with Charlie Chaplin!

Takei was born in 1937. Muldaur was born in 1938. Google is your friend.

I missed this when it was posted. Muldaur was a guest, not a (recurring) regular. To phrase it another way, Takei was one of the big seven, Muldaur was not. Google knows much, but Trek fans know Trek better.
