Lenard's Klingon make-up is given a last-minute touch-up on the set of The Motion Picture

The Klingon captain was portrayed by Mark Lenard, who is better known as Sarek, Spock's father. He was initially offered the role via a phone call from Gene Roddenberry. "I never thought of playing a Klingon," Lenard admitted, "but I said, 'Sure, I would love to.'" The actor found his makeup extremely uncomfortable while playing the part. (Starlog #117, p. 48)
According to at least one version of the script, the Klingon captain was called "Commander Barak (β)".
The Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives his name as Krase. This was obviously meant as an in-joke, as it is an anagram of the name of Lenard's better-known role of Sarek. The novel Forgotten History gives his full name as Barak, son of Krase.
