Canadian actor who played the Shakespeare-quoting Klingon general Chang in The Undiscovered Country.
Christopher Plummer (1929–2021) was a Canadian actor whose career spanned seven decades on stage, film and television. He was famed for Captain von Trapp in The Sound of Music and for Shakespearean stage roles, and he won an Academy Award for Beginners, as well as two Tony Awards.
In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) Plummer played General Chang, the eyepatch-wearing Klingon chief of staff who opposes peace with the Federation and secretly conspires against Chancellor Gorkon. Chang's habit of quoting Shakespeare in battle reflected Plummer's own long stage career.
