Star Trek actor Peter-Henry Schroeder dies aged 90
The American actor was best known from Star Trek: Enterprise, the 2000s TV iteration of the long-running sci-fi series which ran for four seasons.
Schroeder famously appeared in the two-parter pilot episode Broken Bow, in which he played the Chancellor – a high-ranking member of space series' Klingron race.
Later in his career, he appeared in 2012 best picture Academy Award winner Argo, with his final credited role coming in 2020 political satire Sammy-Gate.
Schroeder is reported to have 'passed away peacefully' in June while surrounded by members of his family at the Lake City Veterans Affairs Medical Centre in the US state of Florida.
No cause of death has been provided at this point.
On X earlier this year, @HereisthePlac paid tribute to Schroder's story and experiences, saying: 'What a man he is. Incredible human. Fascinating life story. Could be a movie.'
Reports in Deadline say that, during his final days, Schroeder was repeatedly asking when he was going to be allowed out of hospital and back to work.
'When are you going to get me out of here? I've got to get back to LA [to work],' he is reported to have demanded, eager to return to the job he loved so much.
Schroeder is survived by his daughter Valerie Lynn and his son Peter Henry II, his daughter-in-law Felicia Cristiani Bass, and his grandsons Peter Henry III and Jarrid Michael.
Away from cinema and TV, Schroeder spent time in the US Army, and was in active duty during the prolonged Korean War, which ended in 1953. Schroeder was still stationed there during the aftermath in 1955.
He was assigned to a unit involved with the United Service Organisations, the non-profit organisation that provided live entertainment to US Army soldiers and their families.
In the 1960s he briefly became a recording artist under the name Pete Schrayder, releasing a song called Where's the Girl for Me in 1960 and, in 1964, Memories of Marilyn – written about a USO show Monroe played in the 1950s.
Back in the world of cinema, he formed his own production company, PHS Productions, and became a teacher at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
X user @IiiReverend recalled learning under him: 'Peter Henry Schroeder was incredible acting teacher to work with. He is a wonderful person. More Trending
'I took classes with him at the South Coast repertory in Orange County and up in Hollywood for a few years.'
In the late 1970s, Schroeder worked with Alan Alda and Meryl Streep on The Seduction of Joe Tynan, the critically acclaimed American political drama.
He also starred in episode of the legendary American comedy series Cheers, starring alongside Kirstie Alley, Kelsey Grammer, and Bebe Nuewirth.

7/7 changed life for British Muslims forever
Photo by Dylan Martinez / AFP via Getty Images In a way, it had to be a train. AJP Taylor conceived of history unfolding as inexorably as a railway timetable, a train that advanced with clockwork certainty towards its terminus. In this point of view, the history of Islamist suicide terrorism was always going to have a scheduled stop in London, with its big Muslim diaspora and contested imperial past. And so, 20 years ago, on 7 July 2005, at 8.49am, it finally arrived. When it did, it turned out to be not just a metaphorical train, signifying the advent in Britain of a certain ineluctable history, but three perilously real Underground carriages sharking through Zone 1 as they were detonated by suicide bombers. Across four bombings that day – there was also a bus whose upper deck was peeled off – 52 innocents were killed. The terror train in London was strangely delayed. Four years had passed since the strike on the World Trade Center, at the heart of the American empire; the UK, too, would become enmeshed in the attack's aftermath, in Afghanistan and Iraq. In London, the period bookended by 9/11 and 7/7 was peaceful, untroubled, and my innocent early teens were trifled away in a city that, compared to now, was a Garden of Eden. Kids like me were no more conscious of being Muslim than Adam and Eve were of their sex. Some say 9/11 had already changed that, but while there were tense times in 2001, London's multicultural innocence wasn't really lost until the 2005 attacks. Even after terror traumatised New York, the narratives that defined early-Noughties London were still Zadie Smith's White Teeth and Monica Ali's Brick Lane, both about Bangladeshi Londoners like my family and broadly optimistic about our presence here. They were among the first contemporary books I read (overrated as literary fiction; near perfect as YA novels). But after 7/7, writers could no longer envision multicultural London in that way. It had become 'Londonistan', an alleged seedbed of terror. Islamophobia soared to the point that a name for it had to be popularised. Suspicion of Muslim immigration, hysteria about Muslim birth rates, the 'Prevent' policy that pre-emptively viewed young Muslims as potential terrorists: so much that is still with us originated in 2005. The cultural mood began morphing as drastically as my pubescent mind and body. I remember wishing away those changes, craving the innocence that possessed me before I was 14, when the bombs went off – an innocence both personal and political. The odour clouding my body was as unwelcome as the spectre of suicide bombings. In Baghdad, there were as many as a dozen a day; I read the news, I knew this related, somehow, to my doomed religion. I prayed that the train of history, and its concomitant trail of destruction, would not reach Britain. Couldn't it just shuttle between America and Afghanistan, but somehow swerve us, leaving us to frolic in our ahistorical Eden? If only British Muslims could be like Mauritian Muslims, say, or Guyanese Muslims, serenely insulated from these momentous episodes. If only we could sit history out. The moment we learned of the bombings, my Muslim classmates and I began concocting our nervous conspiracy theories. It was the French, of course, enraged at losing out to us the day before on their bid to host the Olympics (we were British enough to recognise our true enemies). The bombers couldn't possibly have been Muslim, still less British! Alas, they were both. They were 'homegrown', a word that before 2005 denoted vegetable produce, not terror threats. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe I was no homegrown radish. Instead, I was a prospective homegrown terrorist: every British Muslim was, after 7/7 – even in the eyes of discerning writers. 'The Muslim community will have to suffer until it gets its house in order,' Martin Amis mused a year after the attacks. 'What sort of suffering? Not letting them travel. Deportation further down the road. Discriminatory stuff, until it hurts the whole community and they start getting tough with their children.' As one of those children, aged all of 16, I was scandalised. The scandal was less Islamophobia than the incoherence of liberalism. In The Second Plane – a now under-appreciated terror-themed work released a few years after 7/7 – Amis criticised Islam, in which, supposedly, 'there is no individual; there is only the ummah – the community of believers'. And yet here he was, a self-proclaimed believer in the individual, proposing collective punishment. The interview was disowned; a 'thought experiment', Amis regretted, but one with a sinister prescience. Reading the newspaper reviews in those years, I found relentless debates no longer about poetry or Proust, but suddenly about myself. This was one of the unintended effects of the train that brought Islamist suicide bombings to Britain: it transported the Muslim to the centre of cultural discourse. Every writer weighed in on the Muslim question. This was disquieting. But, I now appreciate, it also created a point of contact, however abrasive, between myself and literary life. 'If September 11 had to happen,' Amis writes in the The Second Plane, 'then I am not at all sorry that it happened in my lifetime.' I could say the same of the feverish aftermath to 7/7. It made me a journalist. Without it, I would be a suburban GP somewhere. Instead, I'm here at this magazine, privileged to have Martin Amis's old job. Tanjil Rashid will join the New Statesman as culture editor later this month [See also: Cover Story: Just raise tax!] Related
