Title: Hey Dave, it's Mark Lenard's Birthday!

Wish your hero a happy birthday Dave!

Mark Lenard, born October 15 1924, died back in 1996. Mark, best known for his role as Sarek , Spock?s father, was a fine actor. He was also one of the few actors ever to portray three different aliens on Star Trek: a Romulan, a Klingon, and a Vulcan. His role as the Romulan Commander in Balance of Terror (1966) has stood out in the minds of all diehard Star Trek fans. His narration of Simon and Schuster?s Star Trek Omnipedia CD-Rom (1995) is a legacy to this man?s great talents.

He was also a tireless supporter and fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

He was a true mench.
