Kenneth Mitchell, a Canadian actor known for his roles on the series "Star Trek: Discovery" and the film "Captain Marvel," died on Saturday (Feb. 24). He was 49. In 2015, Mitchell portrayed Mercury astronaut Deke Slayton on the ABC television series "The Astronaut Wives Club." Ken was widely known as an actor in many films and television shows. He's portrayed an Olympic hopeful, an apocalypse survivor, an astronaut, a superhero's dad, and four unique Star Trekkers. ...For five and a half years Ken faced a series of awful challenges from ALS. And in truest Ken fashion, he managed to rise above each one with grace and commitment to living a full and joyous life in each moment. He lived by the principles that each day is a gift and that we never walk alone.
