R.I.P. Lawrence Montaigne "Stonn"

Another familiar face from classic tv, probably most recognized from Star Trek. His daughter posted on FB that he died Friday morning. He was 86. Interesting bit of Trekkie trivia. He said in an interview that they had him sign a contract to replace Leonard Nimoy when Nimoy was considering leaving Trek for Mission:Impossible. Nimoy ended up staying (only joining MI after Trek ended) and Montaigne ended up getting cast as Stonn.

Just thinking how pretty much all the major players in the "Amok Time" episode are gone, except for William Shatner.  Leonard, Lawrence, De Kelley, Celia Lovsky, Arlene Martel, Majel Barrett...
