Norman Lloyd (8 November 1914 – 11 May 2021; age 106) was the actor who played Galen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation sixth season episode "The Chase". However, he is probably best known to television audiences for playing Doctor Daniel Auschlander on St. Elsewhere from 1982 through 1988. Among his co-stars on this popular series were William Daniels, Ed Begley, Jr., Christina Pickles, Ronny Cox, Chad Allen, Jane Wyatt, France Nuyen, Brian Tochi, Deborah May, Alfre Woodard, David Birney, and Bruce Greenwood.
Lloyd began his career in show-business performing in theater before Alfred Hitchcock cast him as Frank Fry in Saboteur (1942, co-starring Ian Wolfe). He would work with Hitchcock again in Spellbound (1945), before being assigned as a producer on Hitchcock's anthology series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents (later The Alfred Hitchcock Hour). Lloyd would also direct as well as appear in episodes of the program, and from this point until 1979, Lloyd not only continued to act, but to produce and direct for television and for the stage, as well.
As an actor, Lloyd appeared in several popular films. Most notable among these are A Walk in the Sun (1945), The Southerner (1945), The Green Years (1946, with Dean Stockwell), Reign of Terror (1949, with Arnold Moss), Limelight (1952, with Leonard Mudie), Audrey Rose (1977, directed by Robert Wise), Dead Poets Society (1989, with Kurtwood Smith), Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes (1989 TV movie, with Jane Wyatt, Aron Eisenberg, and Warren Munson), Kubato (1992, with John Rhys-Davies), The Age of Innocence (1993), The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000, with Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg, Doug Jones and Max Grodénchik), and Fail Safe (2000, with James Cromwell and Bill Smitrovich). He had a supporting role in In Her Shoes (2005, with Anson Mount).
Lloyd also had recurring roles in Wiseguy and The Practice, and was a regular on Seven Days from 1998 through 2000, alongside Alan Scarfe. Other series he appeared on include Kojak, Murder, She Wrote, Wings (starring Steven Weber), and Quincy, M. E. (starring Garry Walberg and Robert Ito). Lloyd's later work includes Trainwreck (2015, starring Bill Hader).
From October 2017 until his death, Lloyd was the oldest living known actor to have appeared in the Star Trek franchise, following the death of Star Trek background actor Dick Cherney, who was only two days his senior. He is only the sixth Star Trek performer to reach the age of 100, following Viola Stimpson, Ellen Albertini Dow, Olaf Pooley, Shep Houghton, and Cherney. Of this group, Lloyd was the first Star Trek performer to reach and exceed the age of 103. With Lloyd's death, Marsha Hunt became the oldest living Star Trek performer.
