Brock Peters, RIP
Film star Brock Peters passed on earlier this week. Rest In Peace, Mr. Peters.
Best known and most recognized, perhaps, as the character Tom Robinson in "To Kill A Mockingbird" (1962), he brought a presence and aura to each role that escaped other actors.
He will also be fondly remembered by Star Trek fans for his performances in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered County", and many episodes of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".
He married in 1961, and his marriage lasted until the death of his wife in 1989. And that's something that is very rare in Hollywood.
