Widely known and admired as Romulan Subcommander Tal in the original Star Trek (1966), Jack Donner has worked steadily in TV, film and theater since the 1950s. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he did his first professional theater and TV work there before heading for New York during the glory days of TV, appearing in many prestigious early shows like Studio One (1948), and soap operas such as As the World Turns (1956) and Haine et passion (1952). He also did seven seasons of New York regional and stock theater. Returning to L.A., he worked his way up to guest star and co-star status in shows like Les rues de San Francisco (1972), Mannix (1967), Kojak (1973), Des agents très spéciaux (1964), the aforementioned Star Trek (1966) episode "The Enterprise Incident", and eleven episodes (the most by any guest star in any series) of Mission impossible (1966).
