American actor (1926–2017) who played the colony elder Anthwara in The Next Generation's Journey's End, the Klingon Krell in the original series and Chakotay's grandfather in Voyager.
Ned Romero was an American actor and former opera singer who appeared in westerns and television dramas for half a century.
His first Star Trek part was Krell, the Klingon arming the hill people in the original series episode A Private Little War. In Journey's End he plays Anthwara, leader of the Native American settlers on Dorvan V, who refuses to move when a treaty hands the planet to Cardassia.
Anthwara tells Picard of an ancestor's part in a massacre centuries before, and in the end chooses to stay under Cardassian rule. Romero also appeared as Chakotay's grandfather in the Voyager episode The Fight.
