Sad to report that Star Tek actor Gary Graham has died at the age of 73. He was best known to Tekies as the Vulcan ambassador Soval in Enterprise and Prelude to Axanar.

Gary Graham was also the lead in the cheesy 80s giant mech movie Robot Jox, partly conceived as a way to cash in on the popularity of The Transformers.

This. I mean it sucks bad enough when you can see them past their prime, slowing down and generally looking their age. You kinda know it's coming, But when they're still active as ever, looking as healthy as ever and then it comes out of nowhere, yeah. This sucks.

Yikes, another celebrity that has fallen to cancer. I am posting my favorite song of his:

 

[The Predaking]

Okay, now while I don't agree with him politically, I thought that he was a great songwriter and performer. His work in the early to mid 90s was especially great, and if you don't believe me, look up his song, "Who's that man". Later on he joined up with the AFY crowd which seemed to dominate his career from that point on, but I did enjoy his 2009 song, "I love this bar". 62 is way too young to go, and especially with something as bad as stomach cancer.

RIP Sir, and thanks for all the music.

Not sure he was really a celebrity, but I don't think any of our childhoods would've been the same without Pop-Tarts.

I don't particularly remember seeing him in anything. Still, 49 is too young.
