Episode Description from the Publisher

Weyoun, Brunt, Shran… and What Happens When They All Show Up in the Same Scene In this Trek Tuesday episode, at a convention, Tony and Dr Howard Margolin of Destinies The Voice Of Science Fiction sat down with Jeffrey Combs, one of the franchise’s most versatile and beloved performers.

This conversation dives into the craft behind those transformations — the makeup, the mindset, the physicality — and the delightful chaos of imagining what would happen if two of his characters ever had to share the same scene.
