    Brock Peters has died at 78.

    One of Hollywood's greatest talents has passed away. Brock Peters was one of my favorites... from his Sci-Fi genre work in the original BSG, or his roles in Star Trek to his wonderful portrayal of Tom Robinson in "To Kill A Mockingbird." I'm really bummed now. And this week had been going so well.

    Theres also an article here: http://www.trektoday.com/news/230805_03.shtml

    Actor Brock Peters, who played two major roles in the Star Trek universe - the controversial Admiral Cartwright in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and Joseph Sisko, father of Captain Benjamin Sisko, in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - has died of pancreatic cancer at age 78.

    The Associated Press (via MSNBC) reported that Peters had died earlier today in his home in Los Angeles. His longtime companion Marilyn Darby said that he had died "peacefully in bed, surrounded by family." A widower, Peters is survived by a daughter, Lise Jo Peters.

      He was better playing Sisko's Dad on DS9 than playing Adrmiral Cartwright.
