  • Jeri Ryan: Kickin' Some Butt Music Video

    Hummmm... Not much in the way of activity in here for Jeri. Not sure if anybody's gonna see this, but what the heck. I just finished a music video featuring Jeri that I uploaded to youtube. A bit of a different take then the usual hot, sexy babe videos normally associated with her. This oneMore focuses more on her tendency to portray characters with a bit of an edgy attitude, which is the main reason I'm a fan. Well that and I think she's funny as hell too. So this one's got lots of fast paced, kick ass action, with a bit of humor (I hope) tossed in too. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYIundbuKa0 Note: For increased viewing pleasure, I recommend viewing it as high quality. Click on "Watch in High Quality" located right under the video window. There's a noticeable difference, especially for the Boston Public and Dark Skies clips. Les...

    Spotlight stealer! hide show

    Jeri Ryan on Star trek Voyager quickly used her influence over Executive producer B. Barga, her boyfriend at the time to make the show about her.

    I have to say that adding her to the show was unnecessary after Kes departed, she didn't not bring anything to the show that couldn't have been done without her. (The enemies that faced, The Borg, etc… Like the Wesley Crusher and Tasha Yar characters, she was just not needed.

    Anyone who seen the show know the seasons 5 and 6 almost every episode was about her and the Borg.
    And most were just some of the worst episodes.

    By the end of the 6 season it's said that Jeri Ryan was not on speaking terms with most of the actors, (Garnet Wang most of all, who was the most outspoken about Jeri and why his character really never improved much), but Robert Picardo and Robert Beltran. If you watch the show again you'll see that by the 6 season most of her line and interaction are with the Doctor (Picardo) or Robert Beltran (Chakotay).

    She had indirect line with the rest most of the time, over the com or third person talks with the others. Picardo and Beltran the only ones on speaking terms with Ryan felt that the show was becoming too much about her and why seasons 5 and 6 were just the worst.

    This is why Season 7 when the show ratings were going up, it ended suddenly. It's said that many of the other actors would only do a few more season, if they kill off Jeri Ryan character.

    The writers and Producers (her boyfriend at the time) decided they'll end it.

    Jeri Ryan is an attractive actress. But she brings realism to roles in shows that often lack it. hide show

    I've only seen her in Star Trek, and two episodes of Two and a Half Men.

    She can be very good and reliable character in Star Trek. But what I really like about this actress is her performance in Two and a Half Men.

    That show is a horrible show, however she brings so much to her roles. She's the only person I've ever seen in that show actually laugh. And it felt so real. Sure, some of the writing ruins this actress, but she brings so much to a role. She actually made a crap show watchable. Her talent super seeded the unrealistic nature of Two and a Half Men, and actually made it feel a little real.

    Beautiful woman and great actress. Even if I think her acting after ST Voyager was pretty much always looking like what she was doing on the show, she is still a great actress.

    hubbah!! hubbah!! what a hottie!!! hide show

    Wow!! I think that sums it all up! What better word to describe Jeri Ryan is there!? I mean really, she's got it all: looks, talent, brains... in other words she's perfect! And when u add the fact that her ageing hasn't influenced her looks in the least, you realize she's not only the perfect actress but the perfect woman too! She's pushing 40 and I'm not ashamed to say i find her more attractive than girls my age! You might think that I have a thing for older women, but I actually dont! It also has nothing to do with her social status, its just physical attraction twards a very beautiful woman! I think her ex husband Jack Ryan is a fool for letting her go! Women like this are so rare they should be regarded as an "endangered specie"!

    Excellent actress combined with beauty hide show

    I've been watching her since her first appearance in Star Trek voyager, playing Seven of Nine, the borg drone separated from the collective, she acted so well in that role, it's hard not to show emotion, then growing up more human.

    When Voyager season ended she moved to Boston Public and did a very good job there as one of the teachers, I was hooked with that series since she arrived to lighten up the place.

    Too bad she's never had a leading role, I think she will do an excellent job at it, we hope to see her more often in TV and not as a guest star or secondary actress..

    Go Jeri!
