Welcome TO JERI
Jeri Ryan may not be known by many, but if you are a fan of Star Trek, you definitely know who she is. She joined the series Star Trek Voyager a couple of years ago, and helped not only revive the show's ratings, but brought new fans to the long running series.

Though her character on Star Trek Seven of Nine is a cold, distant ex-Borg, in reality Jeri Ryan is a very outgoing and friendly person, who doesn't shy away from showing off her million-dollar smile. Star Trek fans -- now called Trekkers -- are often fickle about new characters but most seem to love her, and for good reason.

Though her talent hasn't been tested at its full range yet -- after all, how much emotional range do you need to play a former cyborg, but if she performs as well as she has so far, she's sure to do very well in this industry.

In my eyes, there is something very attractive about an aggressive, direct, bodysuit-wearing woman. Maybe, it's her Borg character, or maybe it's because she is so beautiful, but Jeri is extremely sexy.

There is only so much you can do by being in a Star Trek series - even a very good one like Voyager. She should eventually to branch out into different roles, or she will be pigeonholed the rest her life.

Anyone who has seen her TV show, quickly realizes that you need to be in fantastic shape to fit in her character's outfit. Though she has almost passed out sometimes from the constraints of her bodysuit, we still admire the physique it takes to fit in to one on the first place. And those lips, let's not get started...

If we finally really do meet some extraterrestrials, I'll hope that they look just like Jeri Ryan's character, Seven of Nine.

JERI GROWING UP
Jeri Ryan on her early childhood:

I was born in Munich. My father was in the armed forces and we moved often to different cities. It was was hard for me as a child to do that. We lived in Germany, Kansas, Maryland, Hawaii, Georgia, Texas and Kentucky. So it was a lot of moving around. And then my Dad retired, so that my Brother and I could finish high-school in one place. And I had to transfer to go to another High-School, which was an accident. But it is probably a lot to go through as a kid. Just when you are starting to put down roots then you have to yank up and you have to move again. And most of the places that we moved were not necessarily military bases so a lot of the kids or their parents were not in the military. They lived there their whole lives. So that was hard. Now, as an adult, I can look back on it and realize how much I gained from it. I can appreciate the experiences that I got. You learn to be very adaptable. You learn to be very open to new people and situations. And it certainly lent itself to my life as an actor, this sort of a nomadic lifestyle.




FILTHY BEAST
Jeri Ryan on the difference between her breast and her elbows:

I work with a cast of practical jokers...
You might have heard this story probably somewhere...

Garrett (Ensign Kim) and I were doing what we are calling walking talk. We were walking side by side and just rehearsing and the director said "Cut!". And I happened to keep walking and Garrett was turning around. To guard his back he kind of turned around and grabbed my (breast), yeah definitely. And turned bright red. He was stuttering: "I'm sorry, sorry. I thought it was your elbow!" So, of course, all of the crew, all of those big teamsters were watching it. They thought this was the funniest thing they've ever seen. But Garrett went embarrassed to his trailer. And a couple of the crew guys got some Post-It notes. You know the sticky paper thing? They wrote on one "ELBOW", with an arrow, on the other "NOT AN ELBOW". And they went with this to Garretts trailer. "Can we get another one out of you", they asked Garrett, and he came back to the set. The crew keeps reminding me about this little story.
