Star Trek: Discovery Gearing up for Season 5, the upcoming season has already confirmed the return of the show’s most enigmatic character: Kovic. Legendary director David Cronenberg, who plays Kovic, may be known in Hollywood to many, but it’s clear that Doug Jones hasn’t seen him much in person. The actor recently shared a funny story about not knowing he was on set the first time they filmed together.
I spoke to Doug Jones about… Star Trek: Discovery In promoting the release of Season 4 on Blu-Ray, and during our interview, we got on the topic of working with David Cronenberg. Jones confirmed that the famous director W Discovery The actor was fun to work with and admitted that he didn’t recognize him at first when they were filming his first scenes:
when i was the first time [worked with him] On the set, I hadn’t really looked at the contact sheet and wasn’t sure what we had. I was like, “Who is that nice old gentleman that works with us? He’s so good and so nice!” And then I realized this was David Fricken Cronenberg. How did we get a legend to take on this role when he’s out making his own movies? I don’t think he needs to do that. He does it because he likes to do it. He loves to be with us. I think the geek in him is satisfied with what Star Trek has to offer him.
It’s no surprise Doug Jones wouldn’t know David Cronenberg at first glance, since the acclaimed director isn’t exactly known for his acting. While he appeared sporadically in a few projects throughout his career, his role continued Star Trek: Discovery Because Kovich is one of his longest reigns. There may be some a trip Fans who didn’t recognize him but were fans of him The fly Or any number of his other memorable movies.
And while his directing credits may be better known than his acting roles, CinemaBlend’s Doug Jones confirmed that David Cronenberg performs as well as any seasoned actor. In fact, Jones noted, Cronenberg isn’t one to make mistakes during a performance, as much as Jones would want him to every now and then:
David Cronenberg is such a dream of a man he should know and work with. And he talked about my age. He is the only member above me, showing these paragraphs of intricate dialogue with names, numbers, and terms. It’s right out of the book and ready to go every time. He hardly climbs on his lines. It puts us all to shame. I’m like, “Oh my God, David Cronenberg, no one will forgive you if you screw up a time or two!”
David Cronenberg had a pretty great episode alongside Doug Jones in Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 episode “…But to Connect”. Kovich, Saru, Stamets, and others discuss what to do when the ship’s artificial intelligence, Zora, becomes sentient and able to make decisions that defy the orders of the humans on the ship.
