Star Trek actor Kenneth Mitchell has died at 49-years-old after a five-year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, his family has confirmed.
Mitchell played the Klingons Kol, Kol-Sha, and Tenavik, as well as Aurellio, on Star Trek: Discovery.
He is survived by his wife Susan May Pratt and their two children, Lilah and Kallum.
‘For five and a half years Ken faced a series of awful challenges from ALS. And in truest Ken fashion, he managed to rise above each one with grace and commitment to living a full and joyous life in each moment,’ his family said in an obituary posted to his Instagram.
