16 Star Trek Actors Who Died In 2025
9. Clifton Jones - 4th June 2025
Clifton Jones appeared in both parts of Redemption, albeit as different characters. In Part 1, he played the Bortas' helmsman, while in Part 2, he played Officer Keith Craig. Born in Jamaica, he moved to London in the 1950s, where he quickly established a career in theatre and later in television.
One of his most well-known roles was that of Moonbase Alpha's computer specialist, David Kano, in almost all of the first season of Gerry Anderson's Space: 1999. He replaced the actor who originated the role, then appeared in 23 episodes overall, before the show retooled its cast for the second season.
Jones also appeared in film, lending his voice to such roles as Blackavar from the seminal, trauma-inducing film, Watership Down.
He remembered his time on Space: 1999 especially fondly, recalling how honoured he was to appear on that show, as well as the opportunities it afforded him in his later career.
