| Biography:
Jolene Blalock.
Although Jolene proved to be a born surfer while growing up in California,
she decided to pursue an acting career. Born and raised in California,
Jolene's father would take her and her brothers to the water to surf, in
what became a regular family sport. She made her debut in 1998, in a bit
part in the comedy Veronica's Closet, and The Love Boat: The Next Wave a
year later. Jolene got her big break when she was cast as Medea in the NBC
miniseries, Jason and the Argonauts in 2000, co-starring Jason London and
Natasha Henstridge.
2000 was a big year for the natural blonde turned brunette, who appeared in
an episode of G vs E, a couple of episodes of D.C., and a guest spot on
C.S.I.. She also appeared in the military drama JAG, as the only excuse to
tear your eyes away from Catherine Bell.
Jolene Blalock hit the big time when she was cast as Subcommander T'Pol in
the installment of the Star Trek franchise, Enterprise. With the success
that Jeri Ryan brought to the show as Seven of Nine, Jolene is sure to make
every man a Trekker. The part forces her to wear pointy devil ears, a wig
and a catsuit (yes!), and incidentally, she was going to turn down the role
at first. Jolene will next appear in the made-for-TV movie, On the Edge,
along with Alyssa Milano, as well as the miniseries, Diamond Hunters.
She doesn't mind men who aren't the epitome of beauty, as long as they are
the epitome of a tortured-soul and artistic genius. We're holding onto that
first part. |
