Marcuse began his television career in 1950, and a movie career five years later. Possessed of an expressive face and able to affect a sinister mien, he worked steadily from then until his death just over one month after his appearance on Star Trek. He died in a road accident in Hollywood. His last residence was in San Francisco, California. Marcuse served as a lieutenant in the United States Navy during World War II. He was a submarine officer who had been awarded the Silver Star Medal for valor in combat. [1]
