Actor Gary Graham, best known for his roles in “Star Trek: Enterprise” and “Alien Nation,” has passed away.
His wife of nearly 25 years, Becky Graham, told Fox News Digital that the actor died from cardiac arrest on Monday in a Spokane, Washington, hospital. He had a history of heart problems, but Graham says her husband’s two-day intensive care stay came on suddenly. He was 73 years old.
“I always say he was my knight in shining armor, and I was his port in the storm,” Becky said.
