Eugene Roche, a popular character actor who appeared in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Remember," died last Wednesday in Los Angeles after suffering two heart attacks. He was 75.

Roche played "Jor Brel," part of the Enaran delegation who visited the U.S.S. Voyager in that episode. He was the one who played a half-spherical musical instrument for Captain Janeway, and later was accused of genocide by B'Elanna Torres.

Roche had a face that was more familiar than his name. His Hollywood debut came in 1961 playing a private detective in "Splendor in the Grass," and he became well-known as the likable POW Edgar Derby in "Slaughterhouse Five." But the puckish actor gained his widest fame on television. He became a household face in the 1970s when as Squeaky Clean, he made kitchens sparkle in commercials for Ajax.

Through the 1970s he became Archie Bunker's neighborhood nemesis on All in the Family and the sly attorney Ronald Mallu on the sitcom Soap. In the 1980s he portrayed curmudgeonly Luther Gillis, trying to teach upstart Tom Selleck the old-school sleuthing ropes in Magnum, P.I., the lovable landlord Bill Parker on Webster, and newspaper editor Harry Burns in Perfect Strangers.

Funeral services were held Tuesday. Roche is survived by his wife, Anntoni, along with two siblings, nine children and nine grandchildren.

The family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be sent to the Actors Fund, 5757 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 400, Los Angeles, CA 90036.
