(written from a production point of view)

Kevin Haney (born 1955; age ~70) is an Academy Award and multi-Emmy Award winning makeup artist and designer who worked on several episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Picard, as well as on Star Trek.

Haney was part of the Star Trek makeup team which earned three Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Makeup for a Series for the following episodes:

Haney later worked as special effects makeup artist and key makeup artist on the James Cawley Star Trek: New Voyages fan film series episodes "In Harms Way" (2004), "Center Seat" (2006), and "To Serve All My Days" (2006). This he also did for the subsequent Star Trek Continues fan series episodes "Turnabout Intruder" and "You've Got the Conn" (both 2012). He also collaborated on Alec Peters' controversial fan film Star Trek: Axanar (2014). In between Haney chalked up one additional official Star Trek franchise contribution, albeit uncredited, as Background Make-Up Artist for the 2009 alternate reality J.J. Abrams film Star Trek (in which Cawley played a background character) as one of the very few Berman-era veterans brought in to work on that film.

Over two decades after his involvement with Berman-era Star Trek and a decade-and-a-half after his alternate reality film involvement, Haney was temporarily brought out of retirement into the Kurtzman-era franchise when he was asked to help out on Picard''s series finale as Additional Prosthetic Makeup Artist. It actually reunited him with James MacKinnon who had already worked with him on Star Trek (2009) in an equally uncredited junior position, but who was now Haney's superior. Vincent Van Dyke was another colleague Haney had already worked with on the 2009 film. As with the one he had received for "Genesis", he did not receive an official credit, but was recognized for it with a fourth Emmy Award co-nomination in the same category he was trice nominated for a quarter of a century earlier:
