Star Trek: The Next Generation Helps turn Jonathan Frakes into a sexual symbol. After all, his riker always shows a commanding figure, and his beard gives him some bad boy charm after Season 1. While fans certainly like to stare at Rick’s handsome face, the actor only realized how easy it was until he didn’t have it until he had to wear a different face completely. The episode of Season 3, “Who Looks at the Observer,” puts Jonathan Frakes into some alien makeup, which he later admits made him admire Michael Dorn ( Playing Klingon Worf every day.
Jonathan Frakes gets treatment from Michael Dorn
If you’re wondering why Jonathan Frakes suddenly admires Michael Dorn after this, you just need to check out the latter’s meticulous makeup in each episode. Dorn looked stranger and was a Klingon Warrior, but to achieve this look he had to spend a lot of time in his makeup chair every morning. Frakes and other human actors have to spend less time preparing because they only have to worry about hair and makeup instead of…huge forehead ridges.

Initially, it took seven hours a day to get his Klingon game face to face, and the process later shortened to about three hours, which was a little more than making Frakes look like aliens. Later, Star Trek’s makeup artist reached a point where he could put everything on Donne in about an hour, which made him Deep Sky Nine Shooting Day a lot of Easier than they were originally.
Star Trek plot usually ends with our favorite character learning lessons, and “Who Looks at the Observer,” where Frex himself learns something behind the scenes. After praising the makeup team to make him look like a resident of Mintaka III, he concluded: “I will do Mintakaan occasionally, but I am so grateful that I have my own face.” Considering Frakes in all of this Sex idols who have been fans decades later, it can be said that they are as grateful to his face as he is
