They are big names but I would only say Slater was a movie star. I do think it's possible to get one of those big name Locutus mentioned but I do think they key might be whether or not they are a Trek fan. One of the things common also in most of those mentioned names is they were big Trek fans so they were doing it more for that reason than seeing it as another acting gig. Be honest I am kind of surprised Ben Stiller has never did a Trek or Eddie Murphy even in the later years of his career when his star went down for awhile. Both are know for liking Trek and surprised nothing ever came from that.
Yeah, being a fan would help.
It's possible that the reason they apparently have not appeared in two years is the producers are trying to settle on the best way to do a soft reboot on them.
I'm a big fan of of moving on with a minor redesign of the makeup and don't remark on it.
"Big" stars command "big" salaries, which is why it's hard to get them. Probably none of those listed did so with Trek. As someone else pointed out, the vast majority of these people appeared because they are fans and did it for fun.
Show multiple styles of Klingons, including Discovery ones. It's a big empire. Treat it as such.
Pandering to the vocal minority of fans once again, the Next Generation look for *spoiler* has returned. Lame.Possible Season 2 alien
Eddie Murphy was originally intended to be the scientist who assists the crew in the past (an astrophysicist instead of a marine biologist) in ST:IV, but the deal fell through, so they changed the character to Dr. Gillian Taylor.

Tom Morello, guitarist for Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave among others. Generally regarded as one of the best rock guitarists of all time.
Actor Christian Slater and Family Guy / The Orville creator and actor Seth MacFarlane.
My big issue with the Klingon isn't the makeup per se, it's that from the forehead down, he just looks like a normal dude.
Normal teeth, normal human beard, pretty pale skintone, etc.
Maybe part of that is a desire to not go into the "oriental exoticism," but it eliminates a lot of the iconic look. No one said they had to cast a generic white guy in the role after all.

If you’re looking for creativity from CBS Trek, at this point, you are simply going to be disappointed.
He could be a background actor, so less effort put into the makeup, and no need for the teeth if you never see them.
Someone clearly hasn't watched Discovery Season 4.
Or Prodigy.
IF this is a real BTS shot, there's no reason he has to be in full makeup - i imagine fake teeth and a beard are a lot faster to apply than forehead prosthetics.
Do you really need the reminder that the only thing consistent with Klingon appearance is that it's been inconsistent since ST:TMP?
And for further reference Klingons in the SNW era should look like this (if you want 'visual consistency' - but yeah, that ship sailed the back in 1979 with ST:TMP):
And if anything, the Klingon makeup in that tweet is more akin to the Klingon look in STVi:TUC.

Because it's related to a filming leak.
I understand why the original post is, but the conversation moved well beyond that.
And is it really a spoiler that there will probably be Klingon's in the show?
That seems like a given to me.
(especially since they have been in every Trek show except Picard)
I just watched “Kobayashi”, complete with the test, Spock, Scotty, Odo, Uhura and Beverly Crusher…
…and a Galaxy Class bridge.
