Before Kate Mulgrew made Capt. Kathryn Janeway her own on Star Trek: Voyager, veteran French Canadian actress Geneviève Bujold played the original Janeway — for about a day and a half.
One of the most beloved characters on Star Trek: Voyager is Robert Picardo's EMH (short for Emergency Medical Holographic program) simply called "the Doctor." But there was a time—when the show was taking its first baby steps into the Borg infested Delta Quadrant—when the actor thought he'd gotten the worst part on the show.
There's one thing that can't be argued with about Star Trek: Voyager: It's that the series took a new turn—make that a very sexy new turn—with the arrival of Jeri Ryan as former Borg drone Seven of Nine during the sci-fi show's third season. It was a shift in focus that had co-star Robert Beltran, who played Commander Chakotay, rather displeased.
We love J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek reboot and can't wait for the sequel—message to Abrams: just go easy on the lens flares this time, please—but we'd also love to see what happened to all our favorite Trek TV characters that were left behind in the process.
Actress Kate Mulgrew is coming back to sci-fi and with a character named Jane. After her iconic role as starship captain Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager, Mulgrew will take on a new big role in Syfy's Warehouse 13 as a Regent named Jane in a four-episode arc that begins tonight.
