10 Star Trek Legends Who Starred In Horror Movies
7. Jeri Ryan - Dracula 2001 (2000)
Seven of Nine, the Borg drone rescued from the collective, became a valued crew member in Star Trek: Voyager. Jeri Ryan reprised this role in the recent Picard series. In 2000's Dracula 2001, though, she played Valarie Sharpe in, a TV news reporter who is turned into a vampire by the seductive titular vampire. Resistance was indeed futile.
When thieves steel the silver casket containing the imprisoned Dracula, they unwittingly release the monster. Drac learns he has a telekinetic link with a young girl called Mary, all because Van Helsing (Christopher Plummer) - her estranged father and Dracula’s old enemy - has spent years injecting himself with the legendary vampire’s blood in order to prolong his own life. During this time, he conceived Mary, who is now a young woman pursued through New Orleans by her father’s nemesis.
Ryan isn’t given much to do here beyond being one of Dracula’s sultry and scantily clad minions. In 2019, she also starred alongside fellow Star Trek legend William Shatner in another horror movie, the frankly awful Devil’s Revenge.
Dracula 2001 was not well received by critics and moviegoers, and it lost money at the box office. Despite this there are two very loose sequels, Dracula II: Ascension and Dracula III: Legacy.
