American actor (1926 to 2013) who played the disgraced Klingon General Korrd in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Chancellor K'mpec in two episodes of The Next Generation.
Charles Cooper was an American actor with a long career in Westerns and television drama, including Hitchcock's The Wrong Man.
In Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) he played General Korrd, the ageing, hard-drinking Klingon representative on Nimbus III, who is taken hostage by Sybok. Late in the film Spock persuades Korrd, as the senior officer present, to order Captain Klaa to stand down and help rescue Kirk.
Cooper then played K'mpec, leader of the Klingon High Council, in The Next Generation. In Sins of the Father he presides over Worf's challenge and discommendation, and in Reunion the dying chancellor asks Picard to arbitrate the succession.
