I have to go with Kruge from STAR TREK III THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK, played so wonderfully by Christopher Lloyd. Fun to think that Kruge was just pre-Doc Brown for Lloyd in BACK TO THE FUTURE.

Your favorite Klingon choice can be from any incarnation of Star Trek. Thanks.

The only movie Klingon I liked was Chang. My Favorite TOS Klingon was Kang. The Klingon's in the other series were just to silly for my taste.

John Colicos' performance as Kor in my favorite episode of TOS...Errand of Mercy

Least favorite - Koloth in The Trouble With Tribbles. Is that a curtsy he does?

A shout out to future film composer Basil Poledouris as one of the background Klingons in Errand of Mercy.

Yeah William Campbell's Koloth was more "Trelaney" than a Klingon. Yes, his little cursty. How sissy. I guess he was directed to do that. Not Klingon at all. Stupid.

I would love to have seen more of John Shuck as the Klingon Ambassador from Star Trek's IV and VI. IV VI Hey, I like that. I liked his take on the character and his hatred for Kirk. Too bad they didn't give him more stuff to do.

You gotta love actor Robert O'Reilly for the fun he must have had playing the Wild Eyed Gowron!

But, are Klingons with names not starting with "K" really Klingons?

Seems it stayed that way for a long time starting with the Original Series and through the Features until we got GORKON and CHANG. But then again there was a MALTZ in Search For Spock.

It's silly, no?

Original series and continuing,

KOR, KRAS, KOLOTH, KANG, KRUGE, KLAA, KORRD, KAHLESS and who could forget one of our most loved "Krazy Sax Playing Klingons, KENNY G?

Dammit, now I want to Photoshop a Klingon forehead onto Kevin Kline.

The TOS Originals.

Michael Ansara as Kang was one of the sweatiest and swarthiest or was the make-up powder man just not around?




Ansara was great and shinny.

They must be distant relatives of the Kardashians. smile (Cardassians? Hmmm...)

Always found it interesting too that when THE NEXT GENERATION started, the vast majority of actors playing Klingons were black guys. I mean it was like 95 percent. I'm glad they finally opened it up to white dudes as well. Ha Ha.

Hooray for Entertainment Tonight's resident Blondie and later musician Johnnie Tesh who got to be a Klingon in an episode! Hey, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT was filmed on the Paramount Lot. Why not?

John Schuck is one of those actors who, no matter how much make-up and prosthetics are applied, is instantly recognizable. Andrew Robinson is another.

I thought Klaa and Vixis were badass. It's too bad their movie sucked out loud. Kruge was great, as was Gowron. Kang too. For as little screen time as he had, Gorkon is up there too. David Warner is brilliant in everything. The moment when he pleads "Don't let it end this way, captain" before dying is one of my favorite moments in all of Star Trek. And his apt dinner observation "I see we have a long way to go" is brilliant too. Now I just wanna watch Star Trek VI again!

Valkris from STAR TREK III was quite hot for a Klingon Lady. Again, sorry that they killed her off so fast which such little screen time.

Kor, Kang and Kruge are my three favorites. Worf was cool when he was weird in the first season or two of TNG. Koloth was a little too...Felix Unger for me and Bob, I mean Kras in Friday's Child was just my next door neighbor.

General Chang was just Christopher Plummer in a skull cap.

The Klingons on Discovery are just too alien for me to relate to them. I liked them when they were just a warrior species with Mongol-horde overtones.

1. Gowron
2. K'Ehleyr
3. Worf
4. Chang
5. Gorkon
6. Kruge

I like the actresses who played Lursa and B'Etor, but their characters gradually got on my nerves (even though the line "He must be the only engineer in Starfleet who doesn't GO TO ENGINEERING" is one of my favorite Trek lines). Hell, I even like those Jersey Shore ones in Final Frontier ("Enterpri-AH!").

Does B'Elanna Torres count?

    COUGHMingTheMercilessCOUGH

    Did the top middle two just not want to commit? I keep seeing Tremayne. John Colicos was a cool customer (and his forehead seems like a forebearer of what was to come).
