Thanks for that. For the first time, Plummer (and David Warner),
allowed a Klingon to look intelligent, educated and suave...quite a
step up from the neandertal image that the klingons had previously.
They both brought a new dimension to the poor, hated aliens! They are
both superb actors.

What Plummer needs is a strong lead role in a film...the kind of role
that can carry a film if the actor has a strong enough presence. He
must be looking for such a role still but whether he gets it or not
is another matter.
