“Terrence was a consummate actor who was passionate about his art and about giving to others. He projected his strength and humanity into his character portrayals,” said his longtime manager Phil Brock of Studio Talent Group, who reported his death.

The tall, lanky actor had roles in both “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and “Star Trek: Voyager,” playing the mute farmhand Baltrim. Also on “Voyager,” he later played Proka Migdal, the adoptive father of a Cardassian boy, as well as playing Ambassador Treen. In “Terminator 2,” he drove the tanker that is killed by the T-1000.

In the 2003 remake of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning,” he played Leatherface’s uncle Old Monty.

The actor appeared in numerous TV series, including “Hart to Hart,” “The Golden Girls,” “Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “The A-Team” and “Hill St. Blues.” In films, he had small roles in “Pale Rider,” “Born in East L.A.” and “Down in the Valley.”
