Jeri Ryan’s Seven of Nine: More Than Just a Pretty Face

Jeri Ryan was initially cast on Star Trek: Voyager for her striking looks, but her portrayal of Seven of Nine became one of the franchise’s most compelling characters.

Introduced in 1997 to help revive declining ratings, Seven—a former Borg drone—captivated fans with her mix of emotionless precision and underlying humanity. Behind the scenes, however, Ryan faced her own challenges as she helped transform the show’s trajectory.
