Acting Appreciation
I'm a Trekker. I grew up watching TOS, TNG, and Deep Space Nine. But it was Voyager that had the hottest character, Seven of Nine, a former Borg drone played by Jeri Ryan, a role she reprised years later in Picard.
Born on February 22, 1968, Jeri grew up in Army posts. In 1986, she graduated as a National Merit Scholar attending Northwestern University, Illinois. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Theatre in 1990.
In 1989, she was chosen as Miss Illinois and then competed in Miss America a year later.
In 1991, Jeri made her acting debut playing a swim instructor on Who's the Boss? She then appeared in several TV sitcoms, series, before landing a role in the sci-fi series Dark Skies in 1997. Unfortunately, Dark Skies was canceled after 8 episodes.
In 1997, Ryan was chosen for a role on Star Trek Voyager as Seven of Nine, a Borg liberated by the crew of the USS Voyager. No surprise, but ratings increased 60% after she joined the cast.
After Voyager, she appeared in several romantic comedy films, and TV drama series. In 2020, she reprised her role of Seven of Nine in the CBS All Access Star Trek Picard.
