Mark Lenard (born Leonard Rosenson) (15 October 1924 – 22 November 1996; age 72) portrayed several roles on Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation, most notably the Vulcan Ambassador Sarek.
A veteran of the Second World War, Lenard rose rapidly through the enlisted ranks, serving until 1946 and receiving discharge as a Technical Sergeant. He then changed his name and became involved in play acting before eventually moving into television.
After his appearance on Star Trek, he starred as the protagonist Aaron Stempel in the TV series Here Come the Brides along with other TOS guest stars Robert Brown and David Soul. He also starred as General Urko, the gorilla military leader, in the Planet of the Apes TV series.
He was one of the first actors to play a Romulan (TOS: "Balance of Terror"), a full-blooded Vulcan (TOS: "Journey to Babel"), and a Klingon with cranial ridges. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

- Lenard is often credited as being the first ever Romulan to appear in Star Trek; however, by strict order of screen appearance, that honor falls to Lawrence Montaigne who appeared seconds before Lenard, but was wearing a helmet covering his Romulan ears. Lenard was the first Romulan to be fully seen with Vulcan type ears.
- Lenard and Lawrence Montaigne were at one point considered as a replacement for Spock had Leonard Nimoy not returned for the second season of Star Trek: The Original Series if contract negotiations had fallen through.
