Summary Star Trek: Discovery's new look Klingons were a controversial aspect of seasons 1 and 2, but series lead and producer Sonequa Martin-Green has nothing but praise for what the actors who played Klingons endured.
Sonequa Martin-Green joined The D-Con Chamber for an in-depth discussion of her career and her run as Captain Michael Burnham on Star Trek: Discovery. Martin-Green explained the arduous process the actors who played Klingons on Star Trek: Discovery endured, and she has nothing but awe for how difficult the roles were to perform with the amount of makeup and prosthetics involved.
The Klingons… I don’t know how they were able to do it. Because it was nothing but pain… It was so thick, what they were wearing was torturous. They weren’t able to sit… They could not eat…. There had to be a nutritionist on set whenever there was a Klingon day to make them smoothies, because they could only open enough to get a straw in there. They had to build these wooden contraptions for them to at least be able to lean back into because they could not sit.
I remember Mary Chieffo explaining that it was so hot under there, it was suffocating. I don’t know how they could even breathe. But she said that the sweat would go back into her ears, and there was nothing you could do about it. You just had to take it. And then on top of that, the Klingon language is really painful. It’s so guttural to the throat. I only had to speak it once, and my throat… I just had to pour honey down my throat because you legit have to… That’s the proper way to speak it.
