Tony-award winning Broadway, television and film actor Keene Curtis died Sunday at the age of 79.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Sacred Ground," Curtis played one of the three old Nechani "Council Members" who challenged Captain Janeway regarding her lack of faith.

Curtis is probably best known for his recurring role on Cheers as the snippy upstairs restaurant owner, John Allen Hill. He won his Tony Award in 1971 as Best Featured Actor in a Musical for playing four diverse characters, each with a different accent, in "The Rothschilds."
