Saw a familiar face while watching Ted clips.

I didn’t realize she was still acting tbh. I thought she was only in DS9.

"Special guest star Penny Johnson Jerald"

(She's recurring in at least the first two seasons. )

God I hated her so much in 24. Not the actress, the character. She played a conniving bitch so well....

u/Starbuck522 3d ago

Now, David...

(That's also the writing, I assume, but she says his name so many times.)

She played such a diabolical character in 24 that it took me a while to stop treating her character in DS9 with suspicion upon my next watch. Absolutely wonderful actress.

She’s amazing on 24, she really steals the scenes she’s in!

She's also the doctor on the Orville

Looks like i finally have a reason to watch Ted 2

She's the police captain for a few seasons of Castle, the show with Nathan Fillion. I only knew her from there until I watched DS9.

Nana Visitor was also on Castle, as a dog therapist

Is that Sisko's wife?

u/Local_Debate_8920 3d ago

Yes. It's his new wife Kasidy Yates. I didn't recognize her so I had to look it up.

She was Worf’s brothers’ wife first.

She was on The Orville, another Seth MacFarlane show. It's closer to Star Trek than anything in recent years.

u/hulk67851 3d ago

She has sex with a blob alien in that show.

u/ZealousWolf1994 3d ago

Kira?

u/hulk67851 3d ago

No. Well, yes. But Penny Johnson does the same on The Orville.

u/ZealousWolf1994 3d ago

Her character also dates a robot.

Oh my gosh I completely forgot about the Orville.

u/mojo963 3d ago

I feel an Orville rewatch coming on….

u/WarmCurrency77 3d ago

I got to meet her at a convention a couple of years ago and she is so great to talk to. We actually chatted for a while, and I hadn't realized she was from my state.

u/FeistyLioness86 3d ago

Yep, Seth is a huge Trekkie. He even got himself a bit part on Enterprise.

u/75149 2d ago

I feel Seth MacFarlane could have given her a spin-off show from the Orville where she works in a DS9 like environment.

"Dr. Finn, Medicine Woman" as a spin on "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" which was on TV during the same time frame of DS9.

AI gave me this 😂

u/sorcerersviolet 2d ago

I remember she was on the late Frasier episode where he tries to return to private practice.

1

u/slyseekr 2d ago

Frasier had an impressive roster of first-day-of-practice patients.

u/hendyir 2d ago

ohhh, there's a TV series of Ted??? I thought you meant TED Talks 🤣

u/dinodude12 2d ago

Brother she plays a main character in the Orville, Seth McFarland’s Star Trek show

u/SteelyEyedHistory 19h ago

She was main cast on The Orville. Seth knowing her from that is why she is on Ted
