![]() ![]() ![]() But, brilliant madness.Star Trek: Discovery is an American television series created for Paramount+ (originally known as CBS All Access) by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman. It’s a four-way love story going on at the moment, happening in three bodies. And with Tyler/Voq, that’s all coming to a head in the next episodes. Is there redemption in Tyler’s future? Will we see more of Mirror Voq? It was a very emotional episode and he handled it so well. It was a very emotional when we did our last scene. It was the most incredible experiences I’ve had as an actor. What was it like working with Jonathan Frakes? I mean I don’t think I’ll ever play two characters again like this- it’s not even two characters anymore - it’s three. So there’s so many different elements going on top emotional performances. There’s so many different ways the Klingon throat would work. So his American accent always has a kind of pharyngealness and I wanted to keep that up with the English when he’s doing the Klingon. But I always wanted to have a hint of Voq in Tyler. There’s so many different elements you have to think about. How did you approach doing two different voices for these characters? “It’s a four-way love story happening in three bodies.” I based it on some tribal leaders - shout out to Canadian brothers - there was a lot of pressure for that ten days. He’s speaking English this time, for example. We didn’t have much time to prepare this new Mirror Voq. What can you tell me about Mirror Universe Voq? But, yeah, I ended up fighting myself! It was madness! ![]() And he had to learn my Voq stuff for that day, and then I had to teach him my movements as Tyler. He had to learn not just my movements, but the whole scene. And then there was a brilliant stand-in on the second day. And when we shot it, I was playing Voq the first day. We did the Klingon scenes in two long days. When Tyler fight Mirror Universe Voq, are you fighting yourself? We got a fake little IMDB page, we knew Star Trek fans are really good at figuring this stuff out, but it was a nice little shout out. They told me I could choose the name for the Voq character and I ended choosing my father’s name who passed away six years ago. Tell me about the fake “actor” credited with playing Voq. Maybe he saw something in the Jekyll and Hyde thing, I assume. I feel like he gave me a headstart in the audition process because he really loved Penny Dreadful. I think that was Alex Kurtzman’s influence. Was that part of why you became Voq and Tyler? At some point, I got the phone call that I would be playing both which was amazing. I did the auditions in my kitchen with my mum and then sent in the tape. How long had you known you’d be playing two parts?Īfter I was cast, I found out I was playing a double role. ![]() And the actor revealed not only the origin of that fake actor that was supposedly playing Voq but also why the new Mirror Universe version of Voq is his favorite of the three characters he’s played on Discovery so far. Inverse spoke with Shazad Latif on a secure subspace channel before the latest Star Trek: Discovery episode aired. Though he was originally announced as playing the Klingon Kol, CBS and Latif tell Inverse that the decision for him to switch playing Voq/Tyler was made well before filming of Star Trek: Discovery began. And it took going to the Mirror Universe, and meeting an alternate - and heroic -version of Voq to make it all come out. As revealed in the latest episode, Voq was surgically altered to become Lt. Last seen in the episode “The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not for the Lamb’s Cry,” Voq was mysteriously absent after his Klingon ally L’Rell told him that they were going to make a deal with some super-secret matriarchs. But for the rest of us, we can now, like Bones, say with confidence: Ash Tyler is a Klingon! Though teased in the previous episode, “Despite Yourself,” the latest Discovery installment, “The Wolf Inside,” fully elucidates the wrinkle of Voq and Lt. If you haven’t seen the episode of Star Trek: Discovery that just aired, this last chance to avoid a spoiler that has been brewing since 2017. And in the case of Shazad Latif on Star Trek: Discovery, it involved a lot of makeup, dodging hard questions in interviews, and even a wholly fabricated actor, complete with an IMDB page. In “The Trouble With Tribbles,” Bones was able to scan Arne Darvin (Charlie Brill) and triumphantly declare “Jim, this man’s a Klingon!” But these days, finding secret Klingons in the midst of Starfleet is trickier. Since 1967, Star Trek fans have known that Klingon double-agents could disguise themselves as humans. ![]()
