Alfred Ryder (born Alfred Jacob Corn; January 5, 1916–April 16, 1995) was an American film, radio and television actor. Ryder may best be remembered for appearing in over one hundred television shows, including the role of Professor Robert Crater in the first Star Trek episode "The Man Trap" in 1966. Ryder also appeared as one of the alien leaders in the TV series The Invaders, as well as the ghost of a World War I German U-boat captain in two episodes of the TV series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. In films he is perhaps best known as the defense attorney who cross-examines John Wayne in True Grit. Ryder began acting at the age of eight and later went on to study with the likes of Robert Lewis and Lee Strasberg as a young adult. During World War II he served in the United States Army Air Forces and appeared in the Air Forces' Broadway play and film Winged Victory. He appeared in Anthony Mann's 1947 film noir classic, T-Men.
