Kate Mulgrew in live-action and audio science fiction after Star Trek
One of only two live-action sci-fi roles Kate Mulgrew has taken since Voyager was the guest-starring role of Jane Lattimer in Syfy’s Warehouse 13. The series was “part The X-Files, part Raiders of the Lost Ark and part Moonlighting.” It focused on a covert government operation handling supernatural objects.
Mulgrew’s character was one of the program’s higher-ups, a Regent and Guardian of the warehouse. She told TV Guide Jane Lattimer possessed “mystical and magical powers beyond all articulation.”
We’ll have at least one more live-action sci-fi role for Mulgrew to look forward to shortly. Last summer, she joined the cast of Showtime’s forthcoming adaptation of The Man Who Fell to Earth. The series is based on Walter Tevis’ classic novel, previously adapted as a 1976 film starring David Bowie. Mulgrew will play Drew Finch, whom Deadline describes as “[e]motionally fearless, a master of finding and exploiting the weak link…”
Star Trek fans may want to know about one more science fiction part Mulgrew has played. In 2019, she reunited with Voyager’s EMH himself, Robert Picardo, in a cast that also included the Kelvin Timeline’s Spock, Zachary Quinto, to record Homefront: An Expeditionary Force. Homefront is an audio drama in author Craig Alanson’s Expeditionary Force universe, a military space opera following the crew of the starship Flying Dutchman.
In a promotional video for this full-cast audio drama, Mulgrew says:
"In science fiction is rooted the truth of the future. That’s why it captures the imagination of so many."
Kate Mulgrew has caught innumerable fans’ imaginations. We hope to see and hear her in many more science fiction and fantasy productions to come!
