American actor and dialect coach (1930 to 2011) who played the Klingon judge presiding over the trial of Kirk and McCoy in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Robert Easton was an American character actor who became Hollywood's best-known dialect coach, teaching accents to a great many film stars. His acting career ran from 1950s films to voice work for Gerry Anderson's Stingray.
In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) he played the judge at the show trial on Qo'noS, where Kirk and McCoy are accused of murdering Chancellor Gorkon. Hammering for order with a heavy clawed gavel, he hears General Chang's prosecution and Colonel Worf's defence.
The judge finds both men guilty but, in the interests of the coming peace talks, commutes the death sentence to life imprisonment in the dilithium mines of Rura Penthe.
