Star Trek: Discovery's Elias Toufexis discusses being the first Breen face fans have ever seen.
Star Trek : Discovery Season 5, Episode 7 ," Erigah " debuted on Paramount+ on Thursday and it proved to be a momentous episode for new characters Moll and L'ak. A previous Star Trek : Discovery Season 5 episode revealed that the mysterious L'ak is Breen, the first of his kind shown without their helmeted refrigeration suit in Star Trek 's history. Not only that, but L'ak is a member of the Breen royal family and a potential heir to the mantle of the deceased Breen emperor.
Elias Toufexis: Only in the sense that I already knew everything about it because I'm a giant DS9 fan. I don't know if I talked to you about this before, but when I got the concept art was the day, I went to get the plaster mold put on my face, that try not to panic thing, and right before I get poured into a plastic cast, I asked for some concept art to see if they had anything about L'ak.
Maybe it's also today's culture of the way TV and movies are now, they do demystify a lot of things that we grew up loving, but it's part of what they're doing now. These things have to last 30, 40, 50 years, these Star Trek shows, so I suppose you could always invent more stuff, but you also can demystify or explain stuff that has happened before, and, as a fan, I think it's great.
Hearing you say,"whatever normal is for a Breen" makes me now want to know what the most mundane Breen life might look like If I look at it as an actor, all I really wanted was to make sure audiences empathize with L'ak and Moll. That was my goal from the beginning. It was our goal, I should say, Eve and me. We wanted to make sure that, not that murder is ever justified or violence or anything, but what they were doing was justified, and if Starfleet would just get off their backs, and if Breen would get off their back, everything would be fine. But in order to escape it, they had to do some pretty rough things.
