British actor (1935–2019) who played Robert Picard, the captain's gruff elder brother and keeper of the family vineyard, in the fourth-season Next Generation episode Family.
Jeremy Kemp was a British stage and screen actor, known to television audiences for the police series Z-Cars and to film-goers for The Blue Max and other war pictures of the 1960s and 1970s.
In Star Trek he appears once, in Family, as Robert Picard, the traditionalist older brother who stayed at home in La Barre to tend the vines while Jean-Luc went to the stars. Robert resents his brother's fame, needles him throughout the visit and finally provokes a fight in the vineyard mud that lets the captain release his grief over his assimilation by the Borg.
The character is mentioned again in Star Trek Generations, where Picard learns of Robert's death in a fire, but Kemp is seen there only in a photograph.
