Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, Parts She Played in Trek

[athena28]

I was watching TOS, on G4 & the crawl showed an interesting piece of info. It stated Majel was the only actor to be on all the Trek shows (as a live actor or voice) & movies. I knew what she did in all but Enterprise. I was then informed she played the following parts on Enterprise:

The Computer Voice of the Enterprise D on "These Are The Voyages" and

The Computer Voice of the Defiant on "In A Mirror, Darkly"

Did you know she held this distinction?

I knew she always did the Computer voice, but I forgot that those ships had appeared, and so, therefore she held that distinction.

Did you know that Mark Lenard is the only person to have been both a Klingon, a Vulcan and a Romulan?

Vulcan & Romulan I know. Klingon?? Was it in TAS?

 

[Dave]

No, he was a Klingon in 'Star Trek: The (Slow) Motion Picture'.

James Doohan did loads of alien voices too. I think he was Nomad among other things.

But no one has been in all five series andd films other than Majel.

I've even heard she's been in the Trek games too.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the link.

I'm glad she has a hand in the Star Trek franchise, but is there anyone who thinks theres... something... I dunno. I can't think of the word right now, but yeah. It seems the more she is involved on screen as opposed to off screen voice overs... Earlier in the Star Trek franchise, "better", more involved, etc... Voyager, Enterprise... no so much on screen involvement... just voice overs, etc... bleh?

sincere apologies for my lack of articulation at the moment

I think she is a reasonable actress. That is shown by her performance as Number One in 'The Cage'. But the studio weren't ready for a female First Officer, only the one in charge of Communications, so she got the axe.

I'm afraid that I never really liked the Luxwana Troi character. It always made me cringe a little.

Everything else she has done seems linked to Gene Roddenberry. That couldn't have done her career much good, she must have been always in his shadow and partially typecast

philoSCIFI, I'm not exactly sure I get where you're going but if you're stating she's only a 'voice' now -- I guess I always figured it was b/c she's gotten a good deal older. Whether her choice, or the studio's, perhaps that's all that's available to her at this stage of her life?
