American actor (1933–2018) who played Captain John Christopher, the 1960s Air Force pilot beamed aboard the Enterprise, in the Original Series episode Tomorrow Is Yesterday.
Roger Perry was an American actor, born in 1933, who co-starred in the series Harrigan and Son and Arrest and Trial and appeared in the horror films Count Yorga, Vampire (1970) and its sequel.
In Tomorrow Is Yesterday he played John Christopher, an interceptor pilot sent up to investigate the Enterprise after it is hurled back to twentieth-century Earth. His aircraft breaks up in the tractor beam and he is beamed aboard. Kirk at first means to keep him, until Spock finds that Christopher's yet-unborn son will lead the first Earth–Saturn probe, and he is returned to the moment before the encounter.
Perry died in 2018.
