That is what they said about him in the novels.
ST canon is inconsistent and contradictory.

oh yes I read the Myriad universe version (very tragic)
Tell that to Kor, Kang and Koloth.
? Are you saying that Kor, Kang, and Koloth all had the same skin tone? Because they didn't. Far from it.Here's Kor.
Here's Koloth.
And here's Kang.
Three different actors, three different episodes in three different seasons, three different skin tones. That right there tells you that the Klingons are not a uniform-looking species.
Because it was easiest thing to do for that particular episode? Because the episode wasn't about the differences in Klingon foreheads? Because the prevailing theory at the time was that ALL Klingons had bumpy foreheads, and had ALWAYS had bumpy foreheads? I mean, pick one.
I think a lot of people are forgetting that the very first time the Klingon forehead thing was ever acknowledged onscreen was in DS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations", and that was because they HAD to, as TOS-style Klingons were prominently featured throughout the original "Trouble with Tribbles" episode. I'm sure that TATA was already expensive enough with all the model work, set building, TOS-style costuming, and and special effects they were already doing. They weren't about to put CGI bumpy foreheads on top of all the TOS Klingons on top of it. But they had to acknowledge the difference somehow, so they did it in a quick in-joke ("They are Klingons, and it is a long story") so they could get on with the story they were telling that week.
I still say Worf should have beamed over looking like this

I've heard some folks who worked on the show say that they considered that. Just have Worf suddenly look like a TOS-style Klingon and never comment on it. I suppose they decided not to do it because even that would've been too distracting.I still say Worf should have beamed over looking like this
The Nerdgasms would have been heard all the way to Q'oNoS that day.
They might've just been joking, though. Sometimes it's hard to detect sarcasm in a print interview.
As David Gerrold wrote in the book of his "Trouble with Tribbles" script, TOS Klingons were so evil and treacherous they farted in airlocks.
They flushed her with green light, but behind-the-scenes photos show her in very dark brown makeup. Kristina Koschoff pulled a Harry Judge and played both Andorians in TNG, but the second Andorian (in Captain's Holiday) was the only one who was actually blue. The first one had to deal with a blue-screen problem because they were doing fancy SFX on the holodeck in that scene.
That actually might be why they shone green light over her, to compensate for the dark makeup and blue screen problem? If I remember correctly Lal's other choices weren't lit with green light.

Insert Green Lantern joke here.
The Roman legions wre usually composed only of Roman citizens. Roman auxillary units were composode of Roman subjects from the provinces who usually gained citizenship at the completion of their service. Then in AD 211 Roman citizenship was extended to all free men in the empire.

Nah, it's fine.
Take a look at MP's post history - they just got off a 24 hour ban for what they wrote in a different thread
