Kor37 9 Posted April 29, 2011 Just read that William Campbell passed away (Koloth/Trelane). Really sad news. I met him once in 1973 at a Trek Con in New York. He was one of the nicest people I ever met. Back then, guests at a con were very accessible. I ran into Mr. Campbell in the hotel lobby and introduced myself. He was very gracious. Later in the day, I was sitting on the floor in one of the hotel hallways leaning against the wall eating some lunch when Mr. Campbell passed by. He actually came over to me, REMEMBERED my name and introduced me to his wife. I was absolutely stunned. Rest In Peace, Bill Campbell. You were a great guy.

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted April 29, 2011 What if he played a combo of Koloth and Trelane? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) He also played a giant bunny in that episode where thoughts came to life. Too bad. You could tell DeLance was familiar with Trelane when he did Q. Edited April 30, 2011 by He Who Shall Not Be Named Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 30, 2011 He also played a giant rabbit in that episode where thoughts came to life. Too bad. You could tell DeLance was familiar with Trelane when he did Q. That wasn't William Campbell, that was Billy Blackburn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldfan1 0 Posted May 1, 2011 William Campbell was a truly nice man besides being a talented actor. He was always friendly with fans and had a smile or funny story to tell. You got the impression that he really enjoyed people and having contact with them. With his looks and talent I am very surprised that he didn't have a more illustrious career. R.I.P. Mister Campbell you were a great actor and most importantly a gentleman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
