Happy birthday, De!

Yep, it's that time again: One of our traditions here at TREKLAND is remembering Jackson DeForest Kelley every year on his day ... Happy 92, De!

And not just his Star Trek days. As in, here he is as another of his patented Western baddies, playing head henchman Wexler in John Sturges' The Law and Jake Wade, starring Richard Widmark and Robert Taylor in 1958.

He was such a badass western actor! My dad and I loved westerns and we'd both comment when we saw our beloved Bones in one.

Happy Birthday, De...
And like Barry says above, he really was fantastic at westerns. I'll never forget his bad-ass face!
