Two-Time Trek Guest Marc Lawrence Dies

Star Trek suffered two losses last week when actor Marc Lawrence and visual effects producer Marie Davis passed away.

Because of his icy eyes and pockmarked face, Lawrence was often hired to play thugs and mobsters like the holographic Las Vegas baddie Zeemo. He played Mafia boss Carlo Gambino in HBO's Gotti.

Davis, who died of breast cancer at age 47, was a visual effects producer and editor, according to E Insiders.
