And sometimes you really get to kick some ass!" In sci-fi she has been seen starring as the fiery pilot Jojo in the series Space Rangers; appearing as the enigmatic Number One, leader of the Mars Resistance in Babylon 5; and guest-starring as Freya in the Beowulf-based episode of Star Trek: Voyager.
