  • Marina Sirtis, Deanna Troi in TV's Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Picard, meets with fans, answers questions, and puts on a great panel with an awesome diva attitude at the 2018 Toronto ComiCon.
    Marina Sirtis (born 29 March 1955) is a British-American actress. She is best known for her role as Counselor Deanna Troi on the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation and the four feature films that followed, as well as other appearances in the Star Trek franchise.
    In 1986, Sirtis relocated to the United States. When casting Star Trek: The Next Generation, Gene Roddenberry was inspired to ask the exotic-looking Sirtis to audition for a role after seeing the film Aliens with Bob Justman, which featured the prominent Latina character Vasquez, played by Jenette Goldstein. Sirtis and Denise Crosby initially tried out for each other's eventual roles on The Next Generation. Sirtis' character was going to be named Lt. Macha Hernandez, the Security Chief. Gene Roddenberry decided to switch them, and Macha Hernandez became Tasha Yar. Sirtis recalls that on the day she received the call offering her the role of Troi, she was actually packing to return to Britain, because her six-month visa had expired.
    Deanna Troi is a half-human, half-Betazoid. Her Betazoid abilities allow her to read the emotions of others. Her position on the Enterprise-D is ship's counselor, looking after the crew's well-being and serving as trusted advisor to Captain Picard, with a position next to him on the bridge. Initially, the writers found it difficult to write for Troi and even left her out of four first-season episodes. Sirtis felt her job was in jeopardy after the first season, but was overjoyed when Roddenberry took her aside at Jonathan Frakes' wedding and told her that the season-two premiere episode, "The Child", would centre on Troi.

    It's rare to see a woman as comfortable in crowd/forum situations as Sirtis clearly is. She appears honestly to love doing these gatherings.

    she's not a squeeky wheel, she loved her cast mates and looked out for their well being. :)

    One of the best Con Q&A's I've ever watched ... rare to see someone SO proud of a classic show they appeared on, and it's always refreshing to hear about the lack of drama and backstabbing. Marina is amazing.

    RIP Marinas husband. She speaks about him so often in this and so highly, it makes it especially tragic he would die a year and a half later.

    What a great appearance at a convention, especially ending with a thank you to the viewers of STNG. Marina we thank you for being a part of ST and adding so much to the ST universe, Deanna was a large part of TNG's much deserved success. Wish you much success in your future endeavors, you deserve all good things that come your way. I met your 'mother' Majel Barrett Rodenbarry at a convention in Fort Myers FL and got to speak with and she said how much she enjoyed being your mom on and off the screen. She was a classy lady thanking the viewers for watching all ST series over the year, you learned that lesson well.

    OMG that intro is hilarious, only Marina could boss the convention staff around and get away with it :)

    Marina is kinda nuts. She is very honest and open about her life which makes her very easy to listen to.
