The US actor passed away on Sunday (25 October) of natural causes in his home in North Hollywood, according to a statement from his talent agent, Zachery McGinnis.
“Thank you, Walter, for the memories, the inspiration, and for boldly going where few have gone before.”
His earlier roles included guest appearances in 1960s TV series such as Combat!, The Untouchables, Ben Casey, Gidget and I Spy, but it was Star Trek in 1967 that served as his big break.
Koenig appeared in the sci-fi franchise as the navigator of the starship USS Enterprise in the second and third seasons between 1967 and 1969, before later reprising his role in all six original-cast Star Trek films.
“My heart is heavy,” Koenig's co-star, George Takei, said in a post on X.
Koenig married Judy Levitt, who starred alongside him in three Star Trek movies and in Babylon 5, in 1965. They were together until her death in 2022.
The actor is survived by their daughter, the actress and screenwriter Danielle Koenig (Star vs the Forces of Evil).
