Jack Donner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack Donner (born February 21, 1943 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actor. He was worked steadily in television and film since the 1950s including early work on The Guiding Light and As the World Turns. Honing his craft, he performed in seven successive seasons of New York regional and stock theater.
In the 1960s and 70s he started to receive guest star and co-starring roles in shows such as The Streets of San Francisco, Mannix, Kojak, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and eleven episodes (the most by any guest star in any series) of Mission: Impossible. However, Donner is probably best known for his role of 'Romulan Subcommander Tal' in the original Star Trek.
He would later return as a Vulcan Priest in the episodes "Kir'Shara" and "Home" of Star Trek: Enterprise. Along with Joseph Ruskin and Clint Howard, he is one of only three actors to appear in both the original Star Trek series and Star Trek: Enterprise.
He founded, with fellow actor Lee Delano, Oxford Theater. Their students included Barry Levinson, Craig T. Nelson, Barbara Parkins, and Don Johnson.
