I didn’t know there history at all, except of course, that they weren’t very nice.Warner was born on July 29 th, 1941 in Manchester, England his parents divorced when he was a child, so he attended eight separate boarding schools while they “kept stealing me from each other,” according to Warner. I’ll go for it.’ So I wasn’t aware of it, of the Cardassians. I thought, ‘Oh, I’ve done two of the others, the old classic ones, and here I am in The Next Generation. It was with Pat Stewart, who’s an old colleague. Warner went on to discuss the makeup involved with his role as the Cardassian Gul Madred, in the TNG episode “Chain of Command” saying “It was another makeup job. You see what you see as a member of the audience, but I don’t say, “Now, I’m the character.” I’m not that kind of actor.” Warner said regarding the Klingon makeup he wore in The Undiscovered Country. “It was a three-hour job before I started acting to have the makeup put on. Plus, I’d done Time After Time with Nick Meyer.” said Warner. So I was sort of invisible in V and they could cover me in makeup for VI. I read somewhere that everybody had forgotten that I was in V. “I don’t know why I turned up in VI when I’d been in V, but I’d been a human in V and they had me be a Klingon. His role as Chancellor Gorkon in The Undiscovered Country is fondly remembered by Star Trek fans. ‘Thank you.'”ĭavid Warner on stage at the 2011 Las Vegas Star Trek Convention I’d just arrived and was living in Los Angeles, and I’ve been offered a job in Star Trek.

Actually, it was bigger than it turned out in the film, because they’d cut quite a bit out of it. As far as I know they wanted me for it, instead of having me audition and screen test. “Someone said ‘Would you like to meet William Shatner.’ I said, ‘I’d be delighted.’ I went into an office and there he was.

It’s not that I don’t like the work I just don’t enjoy watching myself. I do a job and I don’t necessarily watch it, so sometimes it’s very hard to talk about it. That’s just one of those superstitions I have. I also make a practice of not seeing a lot of what I’ve done. What’s interesting is people are bringing up things that I did 20, 25 years ago, so it’s not always easy to remember everything. The ones I’ve gone to were not quite so big as this particular Star Trek convention is and most of the ones I’ve done were just signing and chatting to people. They weren’t Star Trek conventions, but I’ve done other conventions because of the stuff I’ve done, a lot of sci-fi and horror and whatever it is. Warner recently sat down with after the event to talk about his experience and further discuss his relationship with the Star Trek franchise.
