When Voyager first started I was moving around a lot and didn't have a television set, so I couldn't watch the show. I was, however, very much aware of Kate Mulgrew [Captain Kathryn Janeway] and her work on the program. Oddly enough I used to do an imitation of Kate. All my friends burst out laughing when I told them I had gotten a part on the series and asked, 'My God, are you going to be talking to her?' Luckily, as of yet she hasn't seen the imitation.
