“Captain Marvel” actor Kenneth Mitchell has died at the age of 49, according to Deadline. Mitchell succumbed to ALS — the neurological condition that he lived with for several years — on February 24. “For five and a half years, Ken faced a series of awful challenges from ALS. And in truest Ken fashion, he managed to rise above each one with grace and commitment, to living a full and joyous life in each moment,” Mitchell’s family wrote on Instagram. “He lived by the principals that each day is a gift and we never walk alone.”
In addition to “Captain Marvel,” Mitchell appeared in a variety of other projects, including “The Astronauts Wives Club” and “Switched at Birth.” He also portrayed multiple characters on “Star Trek: Discovery.” His last project was 2022’s “Old Man.”
