Actor also sang with Elvis in "Love Me Tender" and starred in Coppola's "Dementia 13."

William Campbell, who guest-starred in two memorable episodes of the original Star Trek TV series, died Thursday at the Motion Picture & Television Country Home and Hospital in Woodland Hills, according to StarTrek.com. He was 84.

Campbell played the all-powerful Trelane in the episode "The Squire of Gothos" and Koloth, a Klingon, in "The Trouble With Tribbles," both of which aired in 1967. He reprised the role of Trelane for a Star Trek: Judgment Rites video game in 1993, returned for a 1994 episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and was a regular at Star Trek conventions and cruises.

As fans of all things Trek, it is always sad when we loose one of our own.

Thanks for reminding us of the working actors in the 60's who brought all of this universe to life.

I wish I knew this happened earlier.  Very sad.  :-(
