Beloved science fiction actor, Joseph Ruskin, died on Saturday, Dec. 28, 2013 at age 89.
Ruskin, whose on-screen career spanned five decades, from 1955 to 2006, is perhaps best known for his bit roles in television’s Mission Impossible and various Star Trek incarnations, including the 1966 original. He also appeared in Smokin’ Aces (2006) and Indecent Proposal (1993).
Ruskin reportedly died of natural causes in Santa Monica, Calif, and last took to the stage in a 2013 production of The Crucible by the Antaeus Theater Company. He frequently acted in television, plays and films throughout his career. Ruskin also served as a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) board from 1976 to 1999 and, during that time, became the first national SAG vice president.
Ruskin is survived by his daughter, Alicia Ruskin, wife Barbara Greene Ruskin and three step-daughters.
