17 Star Trek Actors Who Died In 2023

Julian Christopher appeared in the infamous episode of The Next Generation, Code Of Honor. He also appeared in Tribunal, playing a Cardassian overseer. Christopher had changed his screen name shortly after he appeared in The Next Generation, having previously gone by James, or Jim, Watkins.

He appeared in a myriad of roles throughout his career. To some, he may be best remembered for his time on Smallville, while to others, he would be immediately recognisable as the security guard offering this advice to Rebecca Romijn's Mystique in X-Men: The Last Stand:

Christopher got his start in film with several appearances in blaxploitation films, though he would continue to work more or less steadily through the 80s and 90s. He died in February 2023 at 78 years of age.
