Actor Michael Ansara has died. While Ansara had countless television and movie roles, he is probably best known now for his roles as Kang in Star Trek and the Technomage Elric in Babylon 5, the voice of Mr. Freeze in Batman: The Animated Series and Cochise in the 1950s tv series Broken Arrow. The Texas Archive of the Moving Image has a 1979 interview with Ansara, in which Ansara talks about typecasting and tries to explain to the interviewer that not all Native Americans speak the same language. The New York Times has an obituary.
