Siddig Would Like to Reprise DS9(interview)

Why do they need to use heavy makeup at all? The TV movie could be set 10-30 years into the future.
Because half of the cast was always in heavy makeup (Odo, Quark, Garak, Worf...) and it would be hard to look like a Ferengi, Cardassian or Klingon without it? ;)

I know, but as far as aging is concerned, it shouldn't be an issue with DS9, only TNG (Data) and TOS . :bolian:
Well that's exactly what I said. Aging is pretty much a moot point with actors in heavy makeup as the wrinkles are going to be covered anyway, unless they gain (or lose) a lot of weight, which hasn't happened to any of the DS9 cast (unlike some of their colleagues from other Trek show), they're all still fit. The only issue may be with Human and human-looking characters, which is why I posted those videos to know that, for the most part, they haven't aged that much. You wouldn't even need to set it that far into the future.
 
The increasing use of digital makeup isn't just about aging. It's about covering up flaws in the era of high resolution digital movie making. But if they do it right, you don't notice.
