In September of 2017, Star Trek: The Next Generation (ST:TNG) turns 30 years old. Arguably the best series in the long, storied history of Star Trek, ST:TNG made being bald cool again, scored Emmy Awards as a syndicated show, and took special effects to a whole new level on television. Most importantly, TNG did what science fiction does best — using fantastic visuals to tell stories about humanity. To tell those stories, many great actors known to geekdom, filled the shoes of aliens, dignitaries, thieves, and more from across the galaxy.

Long before she was Jean Grey or on Hemlock Grove, Famke Janssen appeared on television for the first time in the ST:TNG episode “The Perfect Mate.” As Kamala, Janssen was an empathic metamorph, a chameleon of feeling, who can sense what a mate desires and become precisely that. In the episode, Janssen even refers to herself as a mutant!
