Erik Dane has passed on February 19 at age 53 after being diagnosed with ALS in 2025.

He is known for his many roles, but for me he will always remain Captain Chandler from "The Last Ship".

Fairwinds and calm seas, Captain. Rest in peace...

Actor Gil Gerard, best known for TV’s “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” (1979-1981), died today at the age of 82.

His wife, Janet, posted that he passed away after a battle with “a rare and viciously aggressive form of cancer.”

A post on Gil’s Facebook account reads:

“My life has been an amazing journey. The opportunities I’ve had, the people I’ve met and the love I have given and received have made my 82 years on the planet deeply satisfying. … Don’t waste your time on anything that doesn’t thrill you or bring you love. See you out somewhere in the cosmos.”

Dear Friends,

We recently lost a friend of the studio. Kimball F Chambers recently passed. He had been in ill health for quite some time, but was able to visit The Neutral Zone several years ago. The epitome of what a Trek fan is, his visit was both emotional and joyous.

He had been invited to be in a fan film, but his health prevented it.

His son Stephen Chambers wrote with the following: "Star Trek meant a great deal to him throughout his life. It carried him through many difficult times, and one of the highlights of his life was a visit to the Neutral Zone Studios, where meeting Vic and receiving a personal tour made an unforgettable impression on him and on our family. As we prepare for his celebration of life, I would love to honor him with a Star Trek–themed farewell. In particular, it would mean so much to me if anyone might be able to assist with a Star Trek–inspired tribute for the service, and/or point me in the right direction to obtain (or have made) a high-quality, authentic Admiral Kirk Wrath of Khan–era uniform. My father’s Celebration of Life will be held on January 31 in Lumberton, North Carolina, at Hyde Park Baptist Church.

"Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read this, and for any guidance or help you may be able to offer. It would mean more than I can express to honor my father in a way that reflects something he loved so deeply.
Warm regards,
Stephen Chambers"

Perhaps we can make it so...
