His character in “The Office,” exiled to a basement cubby while guarding his stapler reminds me of Kevin Hassett, Trump’s economic adviser. Just a fumbling, deluded waste.

One of the best parts of growing up on 90s-early-2000s Star Trek was the bevy of amazing character actors who’d show up, then show up again. Then you’d see them in a movie or some other show. Trek showcased the value of actors like Riehle. We will miss your grandfatherly smile. Rest in peace.
