Star Trek Deep Space Nine Cast: Where Are They Now?

10. Colonel Kira - Nana Visitor

Star Trek Deep Space Nine Kira
CBS

Nna Visitor had one of the harder roles to play in Star Trek. As Major (and later, Colonel) Kira, she was tasked with making an admitted terrorist a sympathetic character, something she not only achieved but did so in a way that cemented the character as one of the best across all entries in the franchise.

Since the show wrapped, she has kept very busy in terms of work. She went from space to dancing, appearing in Las Vegas and Washington as Roxie Hart in Chicago, before joining the Broadway version. She appeared in Dark Angel, Fraiser, CSI and Wildfire, in which she had a starring role for four seasons.

She then went on to appear in Battlestar Galactica for one episode of its fourth season, where she plays a woman dying from cancer who strongly believes in the message of God, tying back to her days as the devout Kira. She appeared in the BBC sci-fi series Torchwood: Miracle Day for two episodes and then in Castle, with former co-star Penny Johnson.

Like many other Star Trek actors, she has done voice work on Family Guy, appearing in twelve episodes to date. She also appeared in the remake of Friday the 13th as Pamela Voorhees in flashback and hallucination scenes. She is a frequent guest at Star Trek conventions and it is safe to say that she has kept busy since the show wrapped.
