Via Reuters: Brock Peters, “To Kill a Mockingbird” actor, dies.
Peters died at his Los Angeles area home on Tuesday after a battle with pancreatic cancer, the Los Angeles Times reported. He was diagnosed with the disease in January and had been undergoing chemotherapy.
And just to show what an uncultured scifi geek I am, I know Peters as playing a Starfleet admiral in Treks IV and VI and as the voice of Darth Vader on NPR’s radio serials of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, and have never seen To Kill a Mockingbird.
To Kill a Mockingbird is definitely worth seeing. Gregory Peck gives a wonderful performance.

Ah. I finally have a name to go with the face of the Admiral!
