Ken Lally appeared as a security guard in two episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise, in its third season. He was a classically trained actor, having studied at the Globe in England, though he would also train as a martial artist and stunt coordinator.

He appeared in big franchises like Pirates Of The Caribbean, as well as smaller projects for television. Alias and Heroes are both on his CV, along with many other well-known properties.

He was an avid fencer, and described himself as always having his foil and and fencing gear in his car at all times. Though his leading roles were few, he had an impressive body of work, not least in voice acting, particularly in video games.

His own biography on IMDB boasts his enjoyment at having been beaten-up and killed on dozens of TV shows and films, surely a testament to how much Lally enjoyed his work and training.

He died in October 2023, at 52 years old.
