16 Star Trek Actors Who Died In 2025
Please join us as we remember those special voices in Star Trek who we've lost in 2025.
Every year, we are both honoured and saddened to present this list to you. Commemorating the lives of those incredible people who helped to make Star Trek what it is never feels enough, yet feels of paramount importance, particularly today. As we normally do, the entries on this list will focus on those actors who appeared in Trek, but it is also important to remember those who stepped behind the camera as well.
Mary Ann Piccard, Gene Winfield, Annett Wolf, Dave Mallow, Bob Rivers, Mark Sparks, Margaret Clark, Joe Farago, Elizabeth Pengson, Angelo Todaro, Patty Maloney, Charles Bartlett, Russell Shinkle, Gary Jensen, Lorna Raver, Lane Leavitt, Peter David, Allan Bragg, Ronald R. Rondell, Drew Struzan, Ralph Senensky, Carl Ciafalio, Roberto Orci, and Paul Capp all contributed in wonderful, fantastic, expansive ways to the Star Trek universe, be it writing, directing, stunt performances, make-up, comic creation, or much more.
We present those actors here who have passed away between January and December of 2025 in the order we lost them. Thank you for joining us, and thank you for taking the time to remember them with us.
