Character
Female Borg Joins Crew of Paramount's "Star Trek: Voyager"
HOLLYWOOD, June 10, 1997
A young, striking new character named 'Seven of Nine' will
join the crew of
Star Trek: Voyager, and she's one of their most lethal
foes - a Borg. The
fourth season premiere of Paramount Network Television's
Star Trek: Voyager,
UPN's #1 series, marks the introduction of actress Jeri
Ryan ("Dark Skies")
as Voyager's newest cast member, who will add a
provocative, intriguing
element to this popular series.
"'Seven of Nine' is something of a 'wild child' - she was
a Human
assimilated by Borg as a young girl. But once Captain
Janeway (Kate
Mulgrew) severs her connection to the Collective, she is
forced to stay on
Voyager and adapt to Human society," comments
Creator/Executive Producer
Rick Berman. "'Seven of Nine' should provide us with
countless new
story-lines."
The character makes her debut in the fourth season
premiere episode
entitled, "Scorpion, Part II," which will air this fall on
UPN. Once freed
from the Borg, she will quickly take on a more Human
appearance, revealing a
sensual creature, neither fully Borg, nor fully Human.
This unpredictable
new series regular will prove a daily challenge to Captain
Janeway and her
crew, as they slowly help her rediscover humanity.
As a former series regular on NBC's "Dark Skies," Jeri
Ryan is no stranger
to the world of sci-fi. She portrayed Juliet, a mysterious
government agent
with foreign ties who helped in the secret war against
hostile
extraterrestrials. Additionally, Ryan guest starred on
several major series,
most notably, "Melrose Place," "Reasonable Doubts,"
"Murder, She Wrote,"
"Matlock" and "Diagnosis Murder." Ryan has also appeared
in
made-for-television movies including, "Nightmare in
Columbia County" and
NBC's "In the Line of Duty: Ambush in Waco." Her feature
film credits
include the independent films "The Last Man" and "Men Cry
Bullets."
