Jack Donner (October 29, 1928 - September 21, 2019[citation needed]) was an American actor whose career in theater, television and film has extended over six decades.[1][irrelevant citation]
A native of Los Angeles, Donner has worked steadily in television and film since the 1950s including early work on The Guiding Light and As the World Turns. Honing his craft, he performed in seven successive seasons of New York City regional and stock theater.
Beginning in the 1960s he had many guest star and co-starring roles in shows including The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Mission Impossible (eleven episodes — the most by any guest star), Mannix, Kojak and The Streets of San Francisco. However, Donner is probably best known for his role of Romulan Subcommander Tal in the original Star Trek episode "The Enterprise Incident". He would later return as a Vulcan priest in the episodes "Kir'Shara" and "Home" of Star Trek: Enterprise. Along with Joseph Ruskin and Clint Howard, he is one of only three actors to appear in both the original Star Trek series and Star Trek: Enterprise. In 1998 he appeared in the uncredited role of Commander Kinwon in Power Rangers in Space. He has had a recurring role on General Hospital as Nikolas and Spencer Cassadine's butler Alfred.
Donner starred in Peaches Christ's black comedy film All About Evil and in Bryan Moore's adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft's Cool Air. He also had a brief but memorable scene as a fire-and-brimstone prosecutor who demands death in 1971's The Night God Screamed.
He founded Oxford Theater with fellow actor Lee Delano. Their students included Barry Levinson, Craig T. Nelson, Barbara Parkins, and Don Johnson. Donner died[citation needed] on September 21, 2019, he was 90 years old.
