Jeffrey Hunter was the lead character in the original pilot for which successful series?

He died young?

Maestro13, he died of a stroke at his home

Terrible death. I never knew who he was.. I think if he lived who knows what movies he would of been in.

Interesting because they were able to stretch out two episodes for The Menagerie using footage from that original pilot that never aired and with minimal other acting as it’s mainly just Spock on trial with flashbacks of Cpt Pike using that never before aired footage. Loved that one!
