Forum:Bruce Mars (Finnegan) still alive?

I've been watching Star Trek TOS on BluRay, which I must say is a real pleasure since I'm noticing scenes that were in the original broadcast but left off the original DVD release. After watching the episode "Shore Leave" I couldn't help but wonder if the Bruce Mars the actor who played Finnegan is still living? In all the years I've gone to assorted Star Trek and Sci-Fi conventions I've never seen him attend one and IMDB has virtually no information on him either birthday or date of death which of course I hope is not the case.

Does anyone know if he's still living?

Thanks,

 * That doesn't really answer the question, as his article already states that. --31dot 12:51, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, he is still alive

Bruce Mars retired from the entertainment business in 1969 and entered a monastery in Los Angeles. He has been a monk for the last 44 years. He is with Self-Realization Fellowship Church.
