Mary Chieffo - The rise to prominence and power as a strong female leader, Part 2

Bryan and Lili continue their affinity for Mary Chieffo' s glorious Klingon role as Chancellor L'Rell, placing her among this talk show's finest Klingon's they've interviewed. Mary discusses the layers of translations and how Star Trek: Discovery Klingon translator Robyn Stewart and dialect coach Rea Nolan assist in also sending her notes, recordings and ways to learn lines in a normal, slow, and fast pace, with versions so she can hear the Klingon pronunciations in multiple ways. Mary discusses in detail working with director Jonathan Frakes, actors Shazad Latif, and Ken Mitchell. The discussion with Bryan and Lili shift into finding humor in Mary's finite hours in costume with filming of Discovery frequently enduring working days lasting from 18-20 hours. Mary reveals that herself and other Klingon's would of been in heavy makeup and rubber drinking smoothies as the only options frequently. Bryan shares his first public memory in detail of Mary Cheiffo being at San Diego Comic Con .
