Jolene Blalock on Typecasting as a Science-Fiction Actress

Features

By GustavoLeao / 20:43, 23 February 2008 / General Genre/SciFi

io9 posted a brief interview with former Star Trek Enterprise actress Jolene Blalock, who plays "tough pilot" Captain Lola Beck in the upcoming Direct-to-DVD sci-fi sequel Starship Troopers Marauder, directed by original Starship Troopers scribe Ed Neurmeier. Here are a few excerpts from the article.

At a panel at Wondercon this weekend, Blalock was asked about her character of Captain Beck, and said "She's a no-nonsense staraight shooter, who shoots from the hip but also has a heart of gold."

Regarding being typecasting as a science-fiction actress because of her role as T'Pol in Enterprise, Blalock said "The reason I've done a lot of science fiction is because my first big job was Star Trek, [so] a lot of the offers i get are science fiction. The universe shines down on me, in a psychobabble way. That's what's inside me, and so that's what the universe offers me."

The full article, with photos of Blalock at Wondercon, can be found here.

As long as it's details we're picking at.... :P

Terry's role on DS9 ended in 1998 with the season 6 finale "Tears of the Prophets". IIRC, she chose not to sign for one more year on DS9, and immediately went to Becker that fall.
