Katee Sackhoff Would Like to Appear in ‘Star Trek’

Sci-fi fans will certainly know the name of Katee Sackhoff, a very popular television actress who has appeared in numerous roles in sci-fi series, both in live-action and animated formats.

Most recently, fans could see her as Bo-Katan Kryze in The Mandalorian, a hit series that is a spin-off from the Star Wars franchise.

But, her roles are numerous. Older fans will probably remember her from Battlestar Galactica, where she played Lieutenant Kara “Starbuck” Thrace, and she has also appeared in numerous voice roles in DC’s projects, like Batman: The Long Halloween or Watchmen. She also appeared in The Flash, Futurama, Star Wars: Rebels, and others.

Yet, there is one major franchise Sackhoff still hasn’t appeared in – Star Trek – and in a recent interview, the actress was asked whether she would actually like to join the franchise in some capacity. If you want to know what the actress said about the proposal, keep reading our article!

Alongside starring in numerous interesting projects, Sackhoff also has her own podcast, The Sackhoff Show, where she often welcomes her colleagues. In the most recent episode, her guest was actor and director Jonathan Frakes, best known for playing William Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Riker is a legendary character among fans of the franchise, and Frakes is certainly someone one could talk to about Star Trek, which – as you might assume – is a topic that came up during the discussion. Here is how Sackhoff actually started the conversation:

I wanna know what I have to do to be in Star Trek because I need a hat trick, and I’ve never even auditioned for Star Trek. I feel like maybe they think it’s a little too on the nose.

Of course, landing a role in Star Trek is a dream come true for all sci-fi enthusiasts, and Sackoff can definitely be described as one after looking at her filmography. Frakes, of course, is not playing Riker anymore, but he has been voicing the character, and he also appeared as Riker in Picard. Here is how Frakes replied:

Well, what about the new one? What about ‘Starfleet Academy?’ Paul Giamatti’s in it. It takes place 900 years into the future. They could probably use a guest instructor, not unlike Starbuck. I mean, I’ll pitch you.
