The latest issue of TV Zone magazine, just out in the UK, features an interview with actress Michelle Forbes, who played Ensign Ro Laren in several episodes of STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION and Admiral Cain in the recent 'Pegasus' arc in BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. Here are a few excerpts from the interview.
"I tend to play a lot of authoritative, strong women, so initially this simply wasn't something I wanted to do." she said about the Cain role in GALACTICA "God bless them, through, for being so pursuant of me. The GALACTICA producers sent me a set of DVDs, because I had never seen the show, either...[GALACTICA] is amazingly good and well written. I shudder to think I almost lost out on working with those wonderful people and on such a powerful story."
"[Resurrection Ship is] a fine example of sophisticated storytelling and I was thoroughly impressed when I watched my copy of the episode."
The actress also talks about turning down the chance to become a regular cast member in STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE as the Bajoran officer Ro Laren (a role which later went to Nana Visitor as Major Kira Nerys), "there were all sorts of rumours about why I didn't take [the DS9 role] and that I was quite arrogant about the whole thing. It wasn't that at all. It was, again, about wanting variety in my career. If I'd gone on to do DS9 I might not have had the variety I've been lucky to have in my career."
"That's not to say I wasn't grateful for the opportunity; I genuinely was. However, I had to make a choice that felt right for me, which was a difficult one, especially as a young actor being offered a steady job."
