Patricia Tallman (Bab5) > Other appearance as in TNG & VOY?

[Tino]

Hi guys.

I just watched VOY's "Favorite Son" again and noticed Patricia Tallman holding Harry on his arms, at the very end of the episode just before he escaped. I also remember seeing her in a TNG-episode as a security officer.

Three questions:

1) What TNG-episode was that?

2) Has she appeared in other episodes as well?

3) Isn't she too established to appear in such minor roles? Don't get me wrong, I don't think she's just a great actress. It just seems to be "below" her. How can someone who played a main character for 2,5 years not be hindered by pride to only play an extra? I'd be kinda ashamed to admit that I can't get good rules anymore and - out of the need for money - have to appear as an extra.

She did DS9 too ironically, as did some of the Directors who worked on B5.

As a stuntwoman, she doubled as Kira and would often be found sitting at an exploding console.

she was a stuntwoman, as CP notes, so she regularly appears as luckless security officers. 'Power Play for one. She also appeared on DS9 as a Defiant crewer who gets a console to the face.

In "Way Of The Warrior" - she even gets lines,

Pat was the ultimate ambassador between B5 and Trek.

She's also a featured player with lines in TNG's "Starship Mine."

In addition to B5 and Trek, you can also see her as a waitress being punched out by Austin Powers. For a while she was everywhere, and my wife and I would play "there goes Pat!" while watching TV

Here's her IMDB listing:

I haven't seen her very much on the tube lately. When she turned 40 she gave up stunts and tried to go full-time actor. Not sure how that's working out for her.

Bruce Boxleitner appeared in King of the Lost World. I'd say, dignity wise, Tallman's coming out on tops.

She also subbed for Gates McFadden in Generations, the scene where she gets pushed overboard by Data.

I think she was one of the Romulans in Timescape too. Or was it The Next Phase?

^ Timescape.

She had a starring role in Night of the Living Dead 1990.

^And she was superb in NootLD.

The lady CAN act when she's given good material.

I met her at Chiller a few years ago. She's an absolute sweetheart.

Seems to have hardly changed since the early years of B5 physically.

I guess having been a stunt person she likes to keep in shape, and she seems to have one of those faces that never ages. She doesn't look all that different from the first time I saw her in the movie Knightriders (except for the 80s hair and makeup).
