RIP Joseph Ruskin

[silverscreenselect]

Another familiar face (but not so familiar name) for those watching old time TV, Ruskin had dozens of guest appearances from the 1950s on. He was usually cast as villains, often ethnic ones. He is the only actor to have appeared onscreen in four out of the five Star Trek TV series and played the genie in a well known Twilight Zone episode in which, not surprisingly, the wishes he grants don't work out as well as hoped for.



Age 89.

He is the only actor to have appeared onscreen in four out of the five Star Trek TV series.

According to IMDB, Jonathan (I like that name) Frakes was on The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise.

RIP, Mr. Ruskin.
