Mourning in the world of cinema and TV. The American actor Tom Troupe, a familiar face on television having appeared in dozens of series like 'Star Trek', 'New York New York', and 'Mission Impossible', has died at the age of 97 at his home in Beverly Hills from natural causes, five days after his birthday. The news of his passing was confirmed by a family spokesperson. Born on July 15, 1928, in Kansas City, Missouri, Troupe took his first steps on the local stage before moving to New York in 1948. There, he received a scholarship to study acting at the Herbert Berghof Studio, recommended by the famous actress and teacher Uta Hagen. After serving in the Korean War, where he was awarded the Bronze Star, he returned to New York to make his Broadway debut in 1957 in the role of Peter van Daan in 'The Diary of Anne Frank', alongside Joseph Schildkraut. In 1958, he moved to Los Angeles, beginning a long television and film career. Troupe is remembered for his appearances in iconic series such as 'The Fugitive', 'Wild West', 'Rawhide', 'Dr. Kildare', 'Ben Casey', 'Mannix', 'Marcus Welby', 'The Streets of San Francisco', 'Murder, She Wrote', and 'ER'. On the big screen, he acted in films like 'The Big Fisherman' (1959), 'The Devil's Brigade' (1968), 'Che!' (1969), 'Soldier Blue' (1970), 'Summer School' (1987), and 'My Own Private Idaho' (1991), a cult film by Gus Van Sant. Alongside his screen career, Tom Troupe never abandoned the theater. He often performed on stage with his wife Carole Cook, with whom he acted in 'The Lion in Winter', 'Father's Day', and 'The Gin Game'. He also participated in the national tour of 'Same Time, Next Year' with Barbara Rush and starred in the play 'Diary of a Madman', which he co-wrote. Troupe was married to actress Carole Cook from 1964 until her passing in 2023. The couple was well-known in Hollywood for their artistic and personal partnership, which lasted nearly 60 years. The actor is survived by his son Christopher, daughter-in-law Becky, a granddaughter Ashley, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
