        Acting in makeup does not seem as easy as one’s ability to act without makeup. There have been stories of people on Star Trek for example, whom had terrible experiences. Some wanted to quit, others had bad skin reactions.

                  Even in 2000, I feel like they should have been able to compromise, e.g. by doing his sclera and covering up breathing holes on the computer, but still having the rest be makeup, prosthetics and a costume.

                    Smoking more cigarettes should sort that out.

                      Like the Sulu series, that ship has unfortunately sailed.

                      So many good ideas left behind because of the cheap bastards controlling the brand.

                        To be fair, in the near 40 years between the beginning of TNG and Picard S3, makeup tech has improved vastly.

                        In the 80s we were talking about heavy, hot prosthetics under very bright, hot lights.

                        Today, those prosthetics are slim, silicone moulded to the person's face, with skin-friendlier glues, much less makeup required to hide it, and better CGI that helps eliminate makeup mistakes.

                                    The name "Enterprise" was from the start a right wing capitulation to avoid a moral panic over space communism and a diverse crew.

                                      It takes hours and hours to put it on, and take it off. And then theres 10 hours of acting in between.

                                      I would have panic attacks too

                                      As an aside. The guy who played Pinhead was in so many things as Pinhead he learned how to do the makeup himself.

                                        This was a very interesting read. This was my favorite tidbit.

                                        “There was a popular movie website at the time, Ain’t It Cool News, and the guy who ran it was a fan of my work, and I contacted him,” Baker continued. “I said, ‘Listen, Universal wants to paint Jim Carrey green. I feel it’s a major mistake. I did a test on myself of what I think it should look like. Can you somehow say that you saw this test and that Universal is making a major mistake and they don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about?’ And he did. And it was outrageous responses from everybody. ‘What the hell is wrong with these people at Universal? I don’t want to see green Jim Carrey. I want to see a Grinch!’ Blah, blah, blah. So they finally caved in.”
