John Wheeler, a versatile actor and singer who appeared in five Broadway musicals, guest-starred on Star Trek as Tellarite politician Ambassador Gav, and performed in a memorable McDonald’s commercial, has died at the age of 95.

He made his screen debut on Star Trek’s second-season episode “Journey to Babel” in 1967, playing Gav under heavy latex makeup and sharing a memorable scene with Mark Lenard’s Sarek. Wheeler also showcased his tenor voice in the 1971 choreographed musical commercial “Grab a Bucket and Mop,” appearing as a McDonald’s manager alongside John Amos and Robert Ridgely.

Born Johnnie Lee Wheeler Jr. on June 20, 1930, in Corsicana, Texas, he was the son of a railroad worker and a homemaker. Wheeler studied music at TCU and the University of the Pacific, graduating in 1952, and served in the U.S. Army for two years. He performed with the New York City Opera and appeared at the 1958 World’s Fair in Brussels in the musical Wonderful Town.

Wheeler made his Broadway debut in 1961 in The Happiest Girl in the World and appeared in Kean (1962), Café Crown (1964), I Had a Ball (1964), and Sweet Charity (1966).

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again (1979), and Apollo 13 (1995), among others.
