October Birthdays

We at Trek Radio would like to wish Happy Birthday to the actors, writers, producers and creators responsible for our favorite characters and franchises, and to acknowledge the birthdays of those who are no longer with us on this plane of existence. We have also included a few actors, musicians, scientists, etc. not directly connected with any particular entertainment franchise. This list is no where close to complete and there are many more who are deserving of being on this list. If we are missing someone who should be on this list, let us know in the comments below and we will add them in the future.
