I was reading in Trek Today that actor/director Corey Allen died on the 27th of June this year. He directed some very interesting episodes of Star Trek: TNG and Star Trek: DS9, for example, in The Next Generation, he directed Final Mission which was a nice send off as a regular cast member on the show for the actor Wil Wheaton.
The Deep Space Nine episode I liked that Allen directed is entitled Paradise, but I think Corey Allen is best remembered for his role in Rebel Without a Cause and that knife fight with James Dean at the Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles. From the article:
As an actor in Rebel Without A Cause, Allen played bully “Buzz” Gunderson, who challenged James Dean to a “chicken run” car race which ended in death for Buzz. RIP.
Here is the article in TrekToday.
