Michelle Forbes (I)

Actress

Trivia:

After appearing in Star Trek: The Next Generation as Ro Laren, she was approached to play the same character in a starring role on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. When she turned down the part, because she didn't want to commit to a regular TV role at that point in her career, a new Bajoran character, Kira Nerys, was created and Nana Visitor was cast in that part.

Personal Quote:

On playing "Sonni/Solita" on Guiding Light. Everyday, I have to cry or be on edge. It gets crazy sometimes. When I got hired to do a soap, I thought I'd get to wear pretty clothes and talk about who's sleeping with whom - well, we're talking religion, sex, guilt, rejection, loyalty, greed - there are some serious issues here, not what I would have expected at all.
