Michael Ansara, actor behind Klingon leader Kang, dies at 91
He struck an imposing figure as Kang, the villainous Klingon commander who struck fears in the hearts of the federation.
The man who played Kang in three iterations of "Star Trek," Michael Ansara, has died, according to his former agent
He was born in a small village in Syria, arriving in the United States with his American parents at the age of two, according to a biography provided by Druxman.
Having entered college in Los Angeles intending to be a doctor, he went into acting instead. His breakout role came as Cochise in the 1950s TV series "Broken Arrow."
Other small-screen roles included in parts in such shows as "The Untouchables," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "Perry Mason, "Lost in Space," "Hawaii 5-0," "Murder She Wrote," "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" and his ex-wife's show, "I Dream of Jeannie." Ansara also voiced Mr. Freeze in Batman movies and the TV series.
