Star Trek: The Next Generation, Mark La Mura

Back in 1990, La Mura -- officially credited as Mark Lamura -- stepped into the Trek universe as a Zalkonian refugee, dubbed John Doe, who was treated aboard the Enterprise-D. Doe's breed was transmutating into energy-based beings while the Zalkonian junta attempted to annihilate them. Doe was successful, with Dr. Crusher's help.

La Mura is survived by his wife and daughter. Please join StarTrek.com in offering condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and fans.
