Alone in a crowd of Klingons


What�s it like being surrounded by eighty-five people dressed as Klingons?

Picture Well, it�s pretty scary. You always cast Klingons from football players and tall people in general, so they�re strong to begin with. Then you put them on four to six inch heels and put horns on their feet and bumps on their foreheads. And then you give them weapons that you wouldn�t like to have anywhere near you. Yeah, you�re intimidated by it, even if you know it�s a movie being made.

The people that play Klingons really get into it. Their sub-text is really well laid down, they learn the language and they don�t get out of character very often.
