RIP Peter Duryea

duryea GRAY CREEK, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA — Peter Duryea, who spent his young years as a Hollywood actor and then moved to Canada to become a naturalist and environmental activist, died at his home here March 24 after a long illness. He was 73.
Trekkers will recall him as the navigator Lt. Jose Tyler in “The Cage,” the pilot for the original “Star Trek” series. MSTies will remember him as hunky Tad Duval in the movie in episode 204- CATALINA CAPER.

His home town paper has a nice long obit.

    I just bought the Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1-3 Blu-Ray set, and watched “The Cage” for the first time, last night. I had no idea Mr. Duryea had passed, or I would have otherwise dedicated last night’s viewing to him.
