Vince Deadrick Sr.

Veteran stuntman and stunt actor Vince Deadrick, Sr. worked on Star Trek (The Original Series) and was the father of Emmy-nominated Star Trek: Enterprise stuntman/stunt coordinator Vince Deadrick, Jr. At the behest of his son, during a visit to the Enterprise set, the elder Deadrick performed an uncredited stunt in the episode "Borderland" thus bookending the legacy he had begun four decades before.

Among the TOS episodes in which the St. Louis-born Deadrick appeared were "Balance of Terror," "What Are Little Girls Made Of?," "Shore Leave," "The Doomsday Machine," "The Apple" and "Mirror, Mirror." His dozens of non-Trek stunt and/or acting roles included Dirty Harry, The Towering Inferno, The Lady in Red, The Beastmaster, Beverly Hills Cop, Commando, Lethal Weapon 4, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, CSI: Miami and Numbers.
