Nicole de Boer and the Aventine

Has anyone ever interviewed Nicole de Boer about her reaction to her DS9 character, Ezri, becoming a captain of the Starship Aventine in the novels? What did she think of it?
 
deBoer: "I love getting residuals for the use of my image on the book covers."

Lol, I jest.
 
Yeah, I think the actors only approve the cover art of their likeness. They're probably too busy with scripts and books on best seller lists to read much about a character they once played for a year over 15 years ago. Could be wrong though.

At a convention though, she'd probably say "I think it's great!"
 
She doesn't mention the books specifically, but...


Q: Had DS9 gone on to film any further series, what would you have liked to see happen with Ezri?


Nicole: I think it’d be really fun to come back now and see Ezri years later, more mature and definitely with a handle on the whole symbiont situation, and much more confident. And I would be a captain, of course!

Q: Oh naturally!

Nicole: That’d be great.

As Eddington once said: "It's the captain's chair that everyone has their eye on."

Of course, it was a few months before he betrayed Sisko and Starfleet...
 
I wasn't too fond of that plot twist, Eddington turning to the maquis. I liked him and had high hopes for his character.
 
I remember reading this article a while back where she gives her reaction to the books, becoming a Captain and her relationship with Bashir both in and out of the books. I guess David Mack gave her the books some years back and she was genuinely excited to hear Ezri got to be captain, a wish she'd joked about in interviews and conventions after the series ended.
 
Generally speaking, the Actors don't usually follow the books. ITS' cool that she followed up eventually
I did love the Eddington twist though. agreed, never saw it coming, and it was great
 
Generally, I have found that Actors don't tend to follow their character's exploits in books. I think it's cool that she did.

I do agree with the Comments on Eddington. I never saw it coming and it made it that much better.

There's nothing like becoming a fictional captain of three hundred years in the future.

Thanks for that. I`d be lying if I said I never wondered if any of the actors themselves wondered what happened to their characters. The franchise is so popular that I`m sure it crossed their minds once or twice - even if they really didn`t care. That being said, it was great reading de Boer`s interview.

I think it's safe to say that Robert Beltran doesn't give a damn.
 
Wow. So, Ms. de Boer is aware of the novels depicting her former character as a starship captain and she did comment on it.
