Doug Drexler is a designer, sculptor, illustrator and an Academy Award-winning makeup artist who has collaborated with such talents as Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, James Caan, Meryl Streep and Warren Beatty. He began his career in the entertainment industry working for makeup legend Dick Smith on such films as "The Hunger" and "Starman." He has also contributed to "Three Men and a Little Lady," "The Cotton Club," "FX" and "Dick Tracy." "Tracy" earned Doug an Oscar, as well as the British Academy Award and the Saturn Award, for his special makeup effects on characters such as Big Boy Caprice (played by Pacino) and Mumbles (Hoffman). Two Emmy nominations in the same field followed for three years of work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, where he performed such tasks as aging Captain Picard for "The Inner Light." In 1992 Doug made a career change by moving over to the brand-new Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as designer, digital artist and effects artist. He continued in that capacity on the subsequent Star Trek films as well as Star Trek: Voyager. In April 2001 Doug began work as Junior Illustrator and CGI designer on the fifth Star Trek series, Enterprise.
