The always-busy actor who portrayed him was William Campbell, who died about six years ago at age 87. He was in almost 100 productions, mostly TV but including many movies like "The High and the Mighty."



Too bad such resolutions are confined to science fiction.

30. Trump pledged to replace the Constitution with the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition

Trump, who believes he is running for the position of ‘Grand Nagus’ of the United States, has a personal motto of “A man is only worth the sum of his possessions”, which is his favourite of the rules.

Others of his favourite rules include ‘war is good for business’ and ‘Employees are rungs on the ladder of success – don’t hesitate to step on them’.

Many supporters of Donald Trump already appear to be using at least the first three of the five stages of acquisition – infatuation, obsession, justification, appropriation and resale – to explain backing their candidate.

also starred in a film called Blood Bath about a vampire who sucks the blood out of the living. Another comparison to #45.

C'mon; Star Trek fans know Trelayne had done extensive studies of Planet Earth. Trump shows no such intellectual interest.
