Casting Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Reboot

19. General Martok - Brian Blessed

Yes, this is a slightly older photo.

No, we don't care. If Patrick Stewart can lead a show while in his '80s, then so can Blessed, dammit!

Brian Blessed was made to be a Klingon! He would be the most believable leader of a troupe of Klingon soldiers, single-handedly charging into battle if the need arose. It takes very little imagination to think of him in Klingon gear, with a ridged forehead and an eye patch.

In the attached picture (again proving he is no stranger to science fiction) that smile alone would turn even the bravest Jem'hadar warrior on their heel and send them scurrying back through the Wormhole.

There might not have been a war at all if Blessed had been there.

Food for thought!
