Star Trek: Another generation He helped to turn Jonathan Frakes into something like a sexual symbol. After all, his Riker always cast a commanding character and his beard gave him some magic of a bad boy after the children’s season 1. The episode of Season 3, “Whoever follows the observer”, put Jonathan Frakes into some extraterrestrial make -up, and later admitted that it made it appreciate what Michael Dorn (who played Klingon worf) passed every day.

Jonathan Frakes gets Michael Dorna treatment

If you are wondering why Jonathan Frakes would suddenly admire Michael Dorn, you have to look at his sophisticated make -up in every episode. Dorno looks appropriate foreign As a Klingon Warrior, but to achieve that appearance, he had to spend many long hours in make -up every morning. Quite, frames and other human actors had to spend much less time preparing because they needed to take care of hair and make -up and not… a giant forehead.

According to Jonathan Frakes“My experience of being Mintakan gave me great recognition for what (Michael) Dorn passes every morning.” In “who follows the observer”, which did not work the technique of the Star Fleet and the memory of memory that missed the primitive alien who told his people that Picard was God. At one point, Riker changed to look like one of these natives and lit down to the surface to collect Intel, and the actor looked suitably alien, resulted in the taste of what his costume regularly endured.

Jonathan Frakes later estimated that “Make-up took something like two and a half hours,” which still does not achieve what Michael Dorn went regularly (more about it soon). But the part of why actor Riker hated it so much was not the time alone, but the fact that he was still not “very good” and “very gloomy” in the seat. It makes sense, really … Frakes, as well as the character he plays, is used to negotiations than to sit and wait for something to happen.

But how much do Jonathan Frakes, who compares extraterrestrial makeup compares for two and a half hours, with what Michael Dorn passed? Originally it took Dorn seven hours a day to get to his Klingon game, a process that was later shortened to about three hours, which was just a little more time than it took the frames to look like an alien. Later Star Trek Make -up artists got to a point where they could put everything on Dorn in about an hour, which caused his Deep Space Nine Shooting many easier than they would otherwise.

The Star Trek episodes often end in our favorite learning lessons, and “whoever follows the observer”, Fraakes himself learned something behind the scenes. After praising how good the make -up team made to look like Mintak III residents, he came to the conclusion: “I will make an occasional mintakan, but I’m very grateful to have my own face.” Given that the frames have remained an icon for fans after all these decades, it is fair to say that for his face they are as grateful as him
