Acting Challenges


How did you approach playing someone who is 80 per cent Borg?

Picture The two biggest challenges with Seven are keeping a straight face, working with all those guys that I had to work with, who are nuts and , because Seven has emotions, she is human, she has all the emotions that everyone else has but she, a) doesn�t know how to express them, and b) is terrified to express them, so they�re all suppressed.

There�s a fine line that you walk between unemotional and then showing too much. So, that challenge was really fun to play as an actor. I mean, this character really was a gift as an actor, because everything is new to Seven, everything was a discovery.
