Chit-chat with Manhattan Transfer's Doug Jones and John Billingsley!




This Saturday, May 11th at 12:15pm ET / 9:15am PT, our very own Bonnie Gordon will be hosting a live stream with two of our incredible cast members - Doug Jones and John Billingsley!


Doug is best known for having make up and prosthetics all over his face and body in films such as Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape of Water.  And of course, Star Trek: Discovery.  Hint: he will be a human in Manhattan Transfer (we'll ask him how he feels about that)



John, who most science fiction fans know as Dr. Phlox from Star Trek: Enterprise, is also well-versed the genre, having appeared in the likes of The Man from Earth and 2012.



Doug, John and Bonnie will discuss their roles and participation in Manhattan Transfer, and we know they have tons of stories from all their other projects, even non sci-fi ones!


This Saturday!  Don't miss it!
