William Windom (OS Star Trek's Commodore Decker) has died

A fine actor who will always be remembered by Star Trek fans as the man who went up against the Doomsday Machine and lost - and in so doing showed the Enterprise crew how to defeat the undefeatable.

The character was also the father of ST:TMP's Commander Steven Decker.

Rest in peace, Mr. Windom.

Yeah, I saw that on the Phase II forums. It's a shame, he was a great actor.

rest in peace.

Doomsday Machine is possibly my fav episode, mainly because of his performance of the broken Decker.

Quote:

Matt Decker: [distraught] They say there's no devil, Jim, but there is, right out of Hell. I saw it!
Capt. Kirk: Matt, where's your crew?
Matt Decker: On the third planet.
Capt. Kirk: There IS no third planet!
Matt Decker: [anguished] Don't you think I know that? There was, but not anymore! They called me; they BEGGED me for help, four hundred of them! I couldn't... I-I couldn't...
[begins sobbing]

I added some images to your Post Dawg.

Yeah, William really stole ever scene he was in in The Doomsday Machine. He was fantastic. It's one of my favorites too, specifically for that reason.
