American special make-up effects designer whose company Alchemy Studios created the prosthetics and creature designs for Star Trek: Discovery, including the redesigned Klingons and the Kelpien Saru.
Glenn Hetrick is an American make-up effects artist and designer, familiar to television audiences as a judge on the competition series Face Off. He runs Alchemy Studios, which he founded with the creature designer Neville Page.
Hetrick and his studio were responsible for the prosthetic make-up and many of the armour and creature designs of Star Trek: Discovery from its launch in 2017. Their work included the heavily revised look of the Klingons in the first season, the Kelpien features worn by Doug Jones as Saru, and later species such as the Ba'ul.
The make-up team of the series received Emmy nominations for this work. Hetrick has spoken often about balancing new techniques with designs established by Michael Westmore and Fred Phillips.
