Speaker Bio
Jeri Ryan (born 22 February 1968; age 51) is the actress best known for portraying Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager from season four onwards, first appearing in "Scorpion, Part II".
Far from being a fan of science fiction, Ryan nearly turned down the role of Seven of Nine. She reportedly had to be convinced by the producers that the role would not simply be "an intergalactic Barbie". According to Ryan, the Borg suit she had to wear as Seven of Nine was initially so tight that she blacked out four times until the problem was fixed.
According to some sources, she would have appeared as Seven of Nine in Star Trek Nemesis, were it not for a scheduling conflict with her role in the television series Boston Public. The cameo went to her Voyager castmate Kate Mulgrew instead. Ryan also expressed interest in appearing as an ancestor of Seven on Voyager's successor series, Star Trek: Enterprise, but only if her schedule allowed it and if it was written by Brannon Braga, her boyfriend at the time.
Several costumes and costume components worn by Ryan throughout the run of Voyager were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay, including a dark blue shirt. [8]
In 2014, Ryan reprised the role of Seven of Nine for the Star Trek Online expansion Delta Rising, set 32 years after Voyager. Two years later, she recorded a video of her playtesting the virtual reality game Star Trek: Bridge Crew with LeVar Burton and Karl Urban.
