Jolene Blalock

A self-confessed "Trekkie" and big fan of Star Trek: The Original Series, her outspoken views about Enterprise have proven controversial with fans. Her next scheduled role will see her as the Queen of Naboo in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Until recently, Blalock has expressed reluctance to participate in Star Trek conventions, but in October 2004 it was announced that she will make her convention debut at an event in Pasadena, California in March 2005. She received widespread critical acclaim and an Academy Award for Best Actress nomination for her performance. A popular model, Jolene has appeared on the cover of many men's lifestyle magazines and also posed for a clothed fashion layout in Playboy in 2002. Despite not possessing any previous acting experience, the then 11-year-old Castle-Hughes went directly from her Auckland classroom to the set when the film began shooting in New Zealand in 2002. In a twist from usual convention, she proposed to him rather than the other way around. On January 27, 2004, she became the youngest person ever nominated for the Academy Awards' Oscar for Best Actress, for her portrayal of Paikea Apirana (Pai) in the low-budget film Whale Rider.

On April 30, 2003 she married Michael Rapino. Born in Donnybrook, Western Australia to a Maori mother and an Australian father, Castle-Hughes was four years old when her family moved to New Zealand. Her parents later separated. She also appears in the upcoming film Slow Burn with LL Cool J and Ray Liotta, and has a recurring role on the series Stargate SG-1. Keisha Castle-Hughes (born March 24, 1990) is an actress from Glen Innes, a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. She also played Medea in Jason and the Argonauts. Jolene Blalock (born March 5, 1975 in San Diego, California) is an American actress best known for playing Sub-Commander T'Pol, a Vulcan in Star Trek: Enterprise.
