Patrick Stewart
Did sixty years of Shakespeare, and the world only noticed once he put on space pajamas as Captain Picard. Finally beamed up for good.

Susan Saint James
Played the "Wife" in McMillan & Wife, billed behind a man and an ampersand. She finally gets her name first, on the headstone.

Walter Koenig
NBC hired him in 1967 because they wanted a Davy Jones lookalike to snag the teenage girls, then slapped a Monkees wig on him to close the deal. He spent the next six decades insisting everything was invented in Russia, survived a space eel crawling into his ear in Wrath of Khan, and asked half of San Francisco for directions to the “nuclear wessels.” Shatner and Takei are the last two standing. Place your bets.

Tom Skerritt
As Captain Dallas in Alien, he responded to a monster with acid for blood by personally crawling into an air duct after it — the kind of leadership that gets you eaten in the second act. He outlived that decision by 47 years. Then he was Viper in Top Gun, the only man in the movie who kept his shirt on for volleyball. He also won an Emmy for Picket Fences, which nobody under 50 can describe. The Reaper finally got a tone on him. Fox two.
