Bonita Friedericy is always cool, calm, and collective... as in the Borg collective!

Trek fans know her as the scientist named Rooney from the "Enterprise" episode titled "Regeneration," which chronologically introduced the Borg to Star Trek. You might not know the story of how she got that role, as well as the secrets behind filming and the origins of her costume.

Friedericy is also the wife of John Billingsley, AKA Dr. Phlox. She explains whether or not this relationship had anything to do with getting the part (Spoilers: it didn't!), and stories from her hubby visiting her on set.

Plus, being an understudy for Jennifer Tilly, playing General Diane Beckman on the cult classic TV show "Chuck" with Zachary Levi, her unusual role as Terry Loach on "Preacher," and stories about John Cho, Stephen Tobolowsky, Ted Danson, and more!
