An Ode To The Fascinating Acting Career Of David Cronenberg

Finally, we have what is arguably the most mainstream piece of media that Cronenberg has ever had a role in, which also makes it that much stranger. The third and fourth seasons of “Star Trek: Discovery” featured Cronenberg in a mysterious recurring role. That is, unless they move production out of Toronto – Cronenberg told Star Trek Explorer that executive producer Alex Kurtzman discovered that some of the show’s casting agents also knew the director, prompting him to send out an offer.

Cronenberg plays Kovich, an official of the Human Federation that serves a significant role in elaborating on the show’s version of the Mirror Universe. He is the official that first attempts to interrogate a Mirror version of Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh), who is not deceased but rather the 23rd century’s powerful Terran Emperor. Shortly after Mirror Georgiou returned to the 23rd century, Kovich helped in the reopening of the long-closed Starfleet Academy.

No, you’re not imagining things; Cronenberg and Yeoh have shared multiple scenes together. Now he needs to cast her in a movie, please!
