American actor who played the disfigured, wheelchair-bound Fleet Captain Christopher Pike in The Menagerie and the helmsman Lieutenant DePaul in two further first-season episodes.
Sean Kenney is an American actor who was cast in 1966 for his resemblance to Jeffrey Hunter, the original Captain Pike, who was not available for the new framing story of The Menagerie.
Under heavy make-up he played the older Pike, crippled by delta rays and able to communicate only by a light that flashes once for yes and twice for no. Spock abducts him from Starbase 11 and takes him to Talos IV, where he can live free of his ruined body.
Kenney then appeared without make-up as Lieutenant DePaul, seen at the helm and navigation consoles in Arena and A Taste of Armageddon. He later worked as a photographer.
