Jon Paul Steuer, Former Star Trek Actor, Dies at 33
Jon Paul Steuer, a former child actor who turned into a successful musician later in life, passed away on New Year’s Day from an unknown cause.
He was 33 years old.
Fellow members of the band P.R.O.B.L.E.M.S confirmed this sad piece news via a Facebook post on Wednesday, January 3.
It reads as follows:
“It is with heavy hearts and saddened minds that we announce the passing of our dear friend and singer Jonny Jewels, AKA Jon Paul Steuer.
“The addition of Jonny to our dysfunctional band family was one of the best choices that we have ever made, and he brought a much needed sense of fun and lightheartedness to everything we did.
“He was only with us for a little more than a year, but we managed to cram a lifetime of great experiences into his tenure as our singer: dozens shows at home in Portland and across several states, an amazing European tour, and our best full-length release yet.”
Concluded the farewell message:
“We’ve lost our singer, but far, far more than that we’ve lost a friend. Rest in peace, Jonny…we love you.”
An ex-child actor, Steuer portrayed a young Klingon on Star Trek: The Next Generation and the oldest son of Brett Butler’s lead character on the 1990s sitcom Grace Under Fire.
(The photo below is taken from his time on Star Trek.)
Steuer also appeared on an episode of the series The Wonder Years and the film Little Giants before landing his best known acting job on the aforementioned NBC sitcom.
He left Grace Under Fire at age 12 after three years, in 1996… and promptly retired from acting.
In the years since, however, Steuer has occasionally been spotted at Star Trek conventions.
The official Star Trek Online Twitter account shared a message in tribute to the late actor on Thursday:
“Rest in Peace, Jon Paul Steuer, the first actor to play Alexander in TNG. You will be deeply missed.”
He told The A.V. Club website in 2015, regarding his career:
“I wanted to forge on with acting after quitting the show, and I went out on a few interviews.
“But even then they’d turn into question-and-answer sessions with casting agents about Grace Under Fire. I was kind of blown away by how unprofessional people inside the industry were.
“It really soured me. I didn’t want that kind of attention.”
After leaving the acting world, Steuer performed in rock bands and, a few years ago, even launched Harvest At The Bindery in Portland.
The restaurant announced on Facebook on Thursday it will shut down in wake of Steuer’s passing.
“Due to an unexpected tragedy, Harvest will be permanently closing our doors,” the post reads.
“We thank you for your support and understanding. Jon Paul Steuer R.I.P. There will be a memorial gathering for Jonny at Harvest on Sunday 1/7 beginning at 1:00. You can donate to help cover Funeral and Memorial costs here.”
Steuer is survived by his parents.
May he rest in peace.

Anton Yelchin Dies; Star Trek Actor Was 27
Anton Yelchin, an actor best known for roles in Star Trek and Alpha Dog, was killed Sunday morning after a freak accident at his home.
He was 27 years old.
According to TMZ insiders, the actor died after being pinned between his own car a brick mailbox.
Yelchin’s friends reportedly grew concerned after he failed to meet them hours earlier for a rehearsal, as they had previously scheduled.
The group therefore went to his San Fernando Valley home at around 1 a.m. and that’s when they discovered his body, pinned in the manner we described above:
Between his car and a brick mailbox, which was attached to a security gate.
Law enforcement officials do not suspect any foul play.
They told TMZ that Yelchin’s engine was running when his body was found, and that the vehicle was in neutral.
The driveway sits on a rather steep incline, although there’s no way of knowing how Yelchin ended up in this position.
He had to have gotten out of his car for some reason.
Yelchin started his career small with roles in independent films and various TV shows, prior to breaking out in movies such as the crime thriller Alpha Dog and the teenage comedy Charlie Bartlett.
His biggest role to date, however, has been in as Chekov in the rebooted Star Trek” franchise; the third film from it, Star Trek Beyond, comes out on July 22 of this year.
An only child born in Russia, Yelchin’s parents were professional figure skaters who moved the family to the United States when Yelchin was a young child.
We send our condolences to his friends, family members and loved ones.
UPDATE: A statement from the late star’s rep reads as follows:
“Actor Anton Yelchin was killed in a fatal traffic collision early this morning. His family requests you respect their privacy at this time.”

Star Trek Reboot: Headed to CBS in 2017!
CBS has beamed up a reboot of Star Trek.
The network announced today that it will unveil a new version of this iconic series in 2017… but there’s a twist.
The premiere will air on the regular broadcast channel, but all subsequent episodes will air exclusively on CBS All Access.
For $ 5.99 per month, subscribes to CBS All Access (which already hosts every episode of every previous Star Trek program) offers thousands of episodes from CBS’ current and past seasons for your mobile device or tablet.
In announcing this significant piece of news, CBS Television Studios said:
“The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966.”
The original Star Trek starred William Shatner as Captain Kirk and took to the small screen solar system in September of 1966.
Future versions have included Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
“There is no better time to give Star Trek fans a new series than on the heels of the original show’s 50th anniversary celebration,” CBS Television Studios president David Stapf said in a statement.
“Everyone here has great respect for this storied franchise, and we’re excited to launch its next television chapter in the creative mind and skilled hands of Alex Kurtzman, someone who knows this world and its audience intimately.”
So now, of course, only one question remains:
Which actor or actress should serve as the new Star Trek captain?
