Robert O'Reilly has been chatting with Marc Okrand fairly regularly when he is
going to be on television as Gowron. I suspect that for whatever reason he
didn't get to chat with Marc before the filming of this season's DSN premiere,
Way of the Warrior. However, keep in mind that it was Robert who did last
year's wonderful Hallmark Ornament commercial. So, we *know* the man can do a
good job with his Klingon. And, more often than not he has demonstrated a level
of professionalism for his craft to pursue the ranking expert in the matter.

I spoke with Robert briefly at a convention here in Pennsylvania. Marc was
there too and he introduced us. Robert probably doesn't remember the meeting
given it was a convention and he was a guest there (I was there to visit with
Marc mostly) and so had oceans of people introducing themselves to him. Still,
Marc typically includes mention of the KLI when *he* speaks at conventions (as
he did at that one in PA) and the topic has probably come up in his chats with
Robert.
