Peter-Henry Shroeder appeared in the pilot episode of Enterprise, Broken Bow, as the Klingon Chancellor. This was just one role in seven decades' worth of acting both in television and on stage. He was born in Syracuse, New York, and eventually made his way both to LA and finally to Florida.

Throughout his long career, he took breaks from acting to serve in the Korean War, where he recalled seeing Marilyn Monroe entertaining the troops, and he also taught acting professionally. He released several records, as well as training with Lee and Paula Strasberg. 

He had a large family with both children and grandchildren, as well as a large extended family. He founded PHS Productions and the Actor/Artist Group Workshop to help train the next generation of performers. He left behind a rich legacy in both his personal and professional life, with his grandchildren recalling many occasions his eccentric and outgoing personality led to many people confusing him with Jack Nicholson - something they referred to as 'Jack Attacks'. 

He was 90 years old.
