Gary Graham, Star of “Alien Nation”, “Enterprise” Has Passed Away

 

He was not on the list.

It’s with a shock that we have learned that genre film and television star, Gary Graham has passed away. Familiar to generations of fans, he was known to many as Detective Matthew Sikes on the television series version of “Alien Nation,” and as Ambassador Soval from “Star Trek: Enterprise“.

Earlier today, Graham’s ex-wife, Susan Levelle, posted the following to her wall:

It is with deep profound sadness to say that Gary Graham, my ex husband, amazing actor and father of our beautiful only child together, Haylee Graham, has passed away today. We are completely devastated especially our daughter Haley. His wife, Becky was by his side.

I met Gary when I was just 20 years old and he was one half of the star duo on the tv series, Alien Nation. But he had already been in movies like “ All the Right Moves” with Tom Cruise. Of course, Gary has many more credits.

Gary was funny, sarcastic sense of humor but kind, fought for what he believed in, a devout Christian and was so proud of his daughter, Haylee.

This was sudden so please pray for our daughter as she navigates through this thing called grief.

Fly high into the heavens Gar! Thank you for our journey and thank you for the gifts you left me in acting, my love of horses and most importantly, our daughter. 

Thus far, no particular details of the cause of death has been forthcoming, and her commenting that it was sudden, his family likely continues to be contacted. His last role was in the supernatural horror film, “Jeepers Creepers: Reborn“.

Graham was 73.

 Graham was born in Long Beach, California. One of his earliest roles was in the 1980 CBS mini series Scruples based on the Judith Krantz novel starring Lindsay Wagner. He was cast as a "hitman" on the television show Moonlighting co-starring opposite Bruce Willis. Graham played more than 38 TV roles and had been in more than 40 movies.

As a musician, Graham was in the bands The Gary Graham Garage Band, The Gary Graham Band and The Sons of Kirk.

Graham was also a contributor to Breitbart News.
