ChigacoNow's Show Patrol posted a new interview with former Star Trek Enterprise star Jolene Blalock and here are few excerpts.
Since you were on a "Star Trek" series, you're going to be recognized as T'Pol forever. How is that going?
Well because I was in costume I'm barely ever recognized. I'm actually more recognized for my voice than I am for you know just appearance. I think that you know as far as being typecast I don't think I will be because I look so different than T'Pol. I mean they did everything, the wig to the eyebrows to the ears to changing my skin color. They did a really good, great job at hiding Jolene.
I was reading your 2005 Playboy interview to get ready for this and you talked about how you started to save the ears, but they didn't preserve very well.
Yeah, that's right. They don't.
Do you still have them?
I do ... This sounds really weird. I can't fit them back on my ears. But you can obviously tell that it's the ear, but yeah, they haven't preserved very well. They sort of stick to each other. I probably have over a hundred pairs.
Do you just have them like in a jar or something?
In a jar, yeah in formaldehyde. No, I keep them in a box.
I read an interview where you said that you were hoping that there would be a "Starship Troopers 4."
Sure, what the hell? I had great fun doing that. I loved Captain Lola Beck. She kicks ass. She's a bad-ass ... I'd love to play her again.
SPOILER WARNING: I wouldn't read until after "Perdition" airs Jan. 30.
So tell me about your character [in Legend of the Seeker].
Sister Nikki, yeah, she is a special victim. ... Throughout my portrayal of her I truly believed that Sister Nikki wasn't all evil. Through the plot and all the manipulation of Richard I just feel that she has so sold into her own vision, that she has lost sight of the bigger picture. I just think that sometimes we can lose sight of the bigger picture when we're blinded by the passions of our intentions. So she is not innately evil. She is innately pure, you know?
And Sister Nikki's objective was very well plotted and expertly executed and I felt that at times Sister Nikki was satisfied with herself, satisfied with her mastery of the subtle manipulation over Richard. Because these moments between Richard and herself were so well plotted and well thought-out, it's as if she has had forever to rehearse each word, each line with Richard. So there is this sense of self-appreciation as she is watching these moments actually unfold.
The full interview, in which she talks more about Legend of the Seeker, is here.
