Star Trek Enterprise Cast: Where Are They Now?
2. Jolene Blalock
Starfleet's first First Officer, T'Pol took a long time to warm to the crew of Enterprise. During her journey, few could have seen how she would come to be such an integral part of the family and yet, by the close of the first season, it is T'Pol herself who argues that the mission be allowed to continue.
Jolene Blalock was an absolute dream casting in the role. She was both serious and knew how to be cuttingly witty when the situation called for it. She is also technically able to still appear in the rumoured Pike spin-off from Discovery, thanks to her extended Vulcan lifespan - here's hoping!
Since the ending of the show, Blalock has appeared in several smaller roles, such as a guest spot on Stargate and a role in the direct-to-video sequel, Starship Troopers 3.
Life however has taken Blalock on a different path. She met her future husband Michael Rapino while working on Star Trek, and she proposed to him while on holiday with their families. They have three children together and have established the Rapino Foundation. This following text is from the Foundation's About Us section:
“Our mission is to protect and uplift under served people worldwide.
We accomplish this through strategic projects and investments that empower communities to address systemic poverty, oppression, and violence at its root causes.”
Blalock's career may have moved entirely away from the screen now, though she is undertaking a very worthy set of causes. It would be lovely to see her back in the ears, even if only as a treat!
