‘Star Trek’ and ‘Argo’ Star Dies at 90 Surrounded by Family

He is remembered as a beloved actor, teacher, and music producer.

Peter-Henry Schroeder, famous for his roles as the Klingon chancellor in the four-season run of Star Trek: Enterprise, has died. According to Deadline, Schroeder passed away with his family by his side at the Lake City VA Medical Center in Florida on June 7. The cause of his death has not been released. In his last days, Schroeder reportedly asked: “When are you going to get me out of here, I’ve got to get back to L.A. [to work].” Schroeder’s final resting place will be the VA National Cemetery in Los Angeles, and he will be honored with Military Honors for his service in the Korean War. When Schroeder returned from the war, he was taught by Marilyn Monroe’s former mentor, Paula Strasberg. Shroeder saw Monroe perform while he was on duty and later recorded a song about it, “Memories of Marilyn.” Schroeder established the music publisher PHS Productions and started an acting workshop. He worked with the likes of Meryl Streep and Alan Alda in the 1979 film The Seduction of Joe Tynan. After acting in the 2000s Star Trek series, he also featured in Ben Affleck’s 2012 Oscar-winning film, Argo, in which he played a producer. He is survived by his two children and two grandchildren.
