Michael Ansara (born April 15, 1922) is a stage, screen and voice actor. Ansara was born in Syria, and his family emigrated to the United States when he was two years old. They resided in Lowell, Massachusetts for a decade before moving to California. He originally wanted to be a physician, but developed a passion for becoming a performer after he began taking acting classes to overcome his shyness.
It was the popular TV series Broken Arrow (1956), where he played the lead role of Cochise, that raised Ansara`s profile and made him a household name on television. Whilst making the series, the 20th Century Fox Publicity Department arranged a date between Ansara and actress Barbara Eden. The two later married and Ansara guest-starred on Eden`s I Dream of Jeannie series, as the Blue Djinn, who had imprisoned Jeannie in a bottle, and as King Kamehameha in the episode "The Battle of Waikiki". The couple had one son together, actor Matthew Ansara, who died on June 25, 2001, of a heroin overdose. Michael Ansara and Barbara Eden divorced in 1974. Another success of Ansara was the TV series Law of the Plainsman (1959, with Gina Gillespie and Robert Harland), where he performed as Indian U.S. Marshal Sam Buckhart. Michael Ansara also played in the Biblical epics The Ten Commandments (1956) as the taskmaster and The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) as Herod`s commander.
He is one of ten actors to play the same character (Kang) on three different Star Trek TV series. The other actors who hold this distinction are Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan,Mark Lenard, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, Armin Shimerman, John de Lancie, and Richard Poe. He also provided the voice of Q`s supervisor in the Next Generation episode "True Q" and played Lwaxana Troi`s husband Jeyal on the Deep Space Nine episode, "The Muse".
