A Star Trek actor has died aged 97
The film star passed away at his home in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California from natural causes on July 20 – five days after his birthday.
He is survived by his son Christopher Troupe, daughter-in-law Becky Coulter, granddaughter Ashley Troupe and several nieces and nephews.
Tom was married to Sixteen Candles actress Carole Cook from 1964 until her death from heart failure at the age of 98 in 2023.
Instead of flowers, requests for donations have been made to either the Entertainment Community Fund or the Pasadena Humane Society.
Tom was born on July 15, 1928, in North Kansas City, Missouri.
He moved to New York in 1948, and studied at the Herbert Berghof Studio in Manhattan in the early 1950s, after he was given a scholarship from the late Reversal of Fortune actress-and-teacher, Uta Hagen.
Tom served in the Korean War – which was fought from 1950 until 1953 – and was awarded a Bronze Star for his service.
Following the war, Tim returned to New York and made his Broadway debut as Peter van Daan in 1957’s The Diary of Anne Frank, which also starred Joseph Schildkraut and Gusti Huber.
The following year, Tom moved to Los Angeles, California, where he landed dozens of top film and TV acting jobs during the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
