INTERVIEW: Effects Wizard J. Alan Scott On Reimagining A Legacy 'Star Trek' Alien
Daily Star Trek News
The Gorn were created for an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, with a stuntman portraying the lizard creature in an unwieldy costume.

Now they’re a recurring threat in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds where the combination of practical effects and CGI make them arguably the best-looking iteration of the species. I had a chance to talk to J. Alan Scott, co-founder of Legacy Effects, the company behind the new version of this old alien. Support us on Patreon:
