Recurring Star Trek guest star Booker Bradshaw passed away April 1 in Los Angeles. He was 62.
The multi-talented Bradshaw is best known to Trek fans as the Original Series' Dr. M'Benga, who helped save Spock's life in "A Private Little War" and appeared again in "That Which Survives." He died of a heart attack in a Los Angeles hospital, according to The Detroit News.

He worked in a variety of positions at the legendary record company, including as a manager for the Supremes and other Motown acts on their first European tour. He also had success as an actor and screenwriter, appearing in such series as Mod Squad and The F.B.I and writing for shows like Columbo. On the big screen, he appeared in several films, most notably opposite Pam Grier in 1973's "Coffy."
