Star Trek Nemesis Cast

“That was a strange cameo,” Mulgrew says. “I was just alone in the studio on the sound stage. It was done very fast. I think it was immediately after Voyager, if not in the final week of Voyager.”

Voyager‘s two-part series finale, “Endgame,” aired on May 23, 2001, with Nemesis kicking off principal photography in November of that year, meaning Mulgrew filmed her cameo months before the rest of the film’s cast shot their scenes.

Almost 20 years after the release of Nemesis, Mulgrew finally returned to the Star Trek universe in 2021 to voice her character Prodigy. Mulgrew talks about what it’s like being back after all this time.

“It’s fun. It just never ends,” Mulgrew says. “I think Star Trek is enjoying a grand resurgence. I have to tip my hat to [Star Trek creative head Alex] Kurtzman because he’s assumed the mantle. He took it from [longtime Star Trek executive producer] Rick Berman and he’s done an amazing job. I think he’s a visionary.”

While Mulgrew says she’s really enjoying this new era of Janeway stories, she wasn’t always so sure she should come back for Prodigy.

“At first I was a little trepidatious,” Mulgrew reveals. “But only very briefly. When I checked with my trusted colleagues, everybody said, well you’re absolutely a fool! This is going to be great. It’s for children — the one demographic that Star Trek has somehow managed to avoid.”
