Identity
His work on these series earned him fifteen Emmy Award nominations and seven Emmy awards wins. He directed an episode himself on only one occasion, the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Birthright, Part II". Starting on TNG, Curry used his experience as a martial artist to develop a fighting style for the fictional alien race known as the Klingons. He designed several Klingon hand-to-hand combat weapons, including the Sword of Kahless, the mek'leth, and—most notably—the bat'leth. In addition to designing the title sequence for Star Trek Voyager, Curry has designed many memorable title sequences for feature films, including Top Gun, Big Trouble in Little China, and Three Amigos. He has also worked as visual effects supervisor on the television series Chuck.
