Marina Sirtis doesn’t consider her performance as Counselor Deanna Troi in Star Trek: Picard season 3 to be her best work, but she enjoyed her reunion with her fellow actors from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Deanna was crucial to Picard season 3’s second half as her Betazoid empathy literally unlocked the door in Jack Crusher’s (Ed Speleers) mind that revealed the Borg were season 3’s true villains. Troi also heroically piloted the USS Enterprise-D to rescue Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), Captain Worf (Michael Dorn), and her husband, Captain Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes), from an exploding Borg Cube.
TrekMovie spoke to Marina Sirtis on the red carpet of the 51st annual Saturn Awards where the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation received a Lifetime Achievement award and Jonathan Frakes won Best Supporting Actor for Star Trek: Picard season 3. Sirtis honestly compared her role as Troi in Picard season 3 to Frakes’ performance as Riker. Check out her quote below:
TrekMovie: Jonathan Frakes said he felt he did his best work in season 3 of
Star Trek: Picard
. Do you feel you did your best work?
Marina Sirtis: I think Jonathan said that because he got to do stuff that he’d never done before. It was outside the box for him. I don’t think that it was my best work. I don’t think I was in it enough for it to be my best work. But it was fun. It was definitely fun.
