Roger C. Carmel made Harcourt Fenton “Harry” Mudd one of the most hilarious scoundrels in Star Trek history. But truth be told, Roger was way more than just Harry Mudd.

Roger was born in Brooklyn in 1932, and long before he was trying to pull the wool over Captain Kirk (William Shatner)’s eyes, he was killing it on Broadway. This guy wasn’t just a face on TV; he was a legit stage actor, popping up in plays like Caligula and A Man for All Seasons. He even took over big roles mid-run, proving he could jump into any part and own it.
