Keye Luke (18 June 1904 – 12 January 1991; age 86) is the actor who played Donald Cory in the original series episode "Whom Gods Destroy".
According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, Luke was briefly considered for the role of Dr. Noonien Soong in the TNG episode "Brothers" when it was thought having Brent Spiner play three roles in the episode would not be feasible.
He is most recognized for playing Charlie Chan's #1 son, Lee Chan, in several Charlie Chan films throughout the 1930s and 40s. He is also remembered for his role as Master Po on the 1970s television series Kung Fu.
He played the role of Mr. Wing in the 1984 Joe Dante film, Gremlins, and its 1990 sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Fellow Star Trek alumni Dick Miller, Kenneth Tobey, and even composer Jerry Goldsmith appeared in both of these films, while Jonathan Banks and William Schallert appeared in the former and Robert Picardo, John Glover, Henry Gibson, and Ron Fassler were in the latter.
