'Orange Is The New Black' Star Kate Mulgrew On 'Star Trek: Voyager' & More | Entertainment Weekly

[@melissaloubriel5398]

I am so use to Her Russian Accent as Red in Orange is the New Black and it shocks me that she speaks perfect English.

[@KAKASHImann]

She speaks perfect english in OITNB too.. just with an accent

[@xenomorphskullhunter7935]

She actually did the Russian accent before. Look up Batman the Animated Series villain Red Claw.

[@Pluto_Is_A_Planet_]

Right! It’s not even just the Russian accent itself, but her voice that she used throughout the series was much deeper & harsher than her regular speaking voice. That’s a lot of strain to have on one’s voice.

[@Daehawk]

When Voyager came on my wife had me a pizza each ep. She did that for at least the first season. I can recall sitting in the middle of the bed eating pizza and watching Voyager. She passed away Jan. Got my memories....not really enough .Miss her. 31 years little soulmate.

[@neelix1993]

I am sorry to hear that. Good luck with life

[@catgirl6803]

My first thought was "jeez that is a lot of pizza". But then I remembered back then we watched 1 episode a week. I discovered the series by binging it on Amazon and taking a few months to get through the whole series. It's hard to remember that 6 years were going by while I am binging. Sorry for your loss.

[@user-jv7ig6ie5b]

I'm sorry for your loss. How beautiful that you could share those stories and characters together. My partner and I also sit down to watch Star Trek together regularly. I hope you're doing well.

[@JamesFrew1]

I’m so sorry.

[@videovoidtv]

Those memories are priceless. Hold on to them. We’re all lucky to find even just one great love. Luckier still to love them into the end. My heart brakes for you. Remember her whenever you rewatch the show...

[@snakm]

"...on the lip of my bridge..." MY bridge omg that gave me chills she really captained that bridge like she owned it, i love it

[@mirabelmadrigal8956]

God, she’s got such grace and poise. Honestly, even now I can see that Captain Janeway swagger, that confidence, that wisdom. She’s been an inspiration to me for years

[@videovoidtv]

I never thought of it but yea. She has omega level swagger.

[@eriveltomartinsbarrosjunio9022]

I think she's a great example of how a woman can be sexy not solely based on her looks. Don't get me wrong, Capt. Janeway is a beautiful woman, but she was also strong, smart, assertive and a great leader, which made her even sexier.

She's truly one-of-a-kind!

[@leif1075]

@@entertainmentweekly What did she mean when she said Shelley Long had to be the winning person she was about Cheers? What did she mean by that?

[@EtwasMartin]

Voyager was my first Star Trek show I was watched on it's first run and boy, did she impress me. I never even thought about doubting a female captain. Captain Janeway had to make the toughest calls of all Captains and carry them out with will, dignity, passion and confidence and boy, she did!

[@reaality3860]

Truth be told, ..I enjoyed Kate Mulgrew's portrayal of a Starfleet Captain more than any other.

[@y0CTX]

I've watched DS9, Enterprise and Voyager and some of the two originals and I must say her Captain was the closest to what I would imagine the Star Trek Universe would have. Janeway was intelligent, strong and dedicated character but also full of compassion and empathy and understanding. She displayed power when it was needed to and was your best friend in times of fun. Her relations with crew was spot on for me, especially with Kim. She didn't looked down on anyone and seemed equal to others while still being Captain and having respect. All this yet she never was Mary Sue, she relied on others and we saw her struggle multiple times. I think It's just the best portrayal of ideal Captain in the Star Trek Universe and very good portrayal of "strong independent woman" that even the men like :) oh and by the way I love the little smirk she made every now and then.

[@briankesterson4365]

Kate Mulgrew, what a classy and talented woman! And I agree with Beth w's post, "She'll always be Captain Kathryn Janeway to me." Nice job on the interview!

[@jamesmarshall559]

Kate, you are a class act! I grew up with Trekkie parents which ultimately led to my love and fascination with Star Trek and all things sci-fi and fantasy. Then when we sat down for the first time to watch OITNB, not knowing much about it before we did, and saw your radiant face gracing our screen again, we were overcome with joy!!! You have forever been a constant in our households, and I will be sure to show my future children your portrayals of strong, loving and independent women. Thank you!!!

[@frostyboyken]

James, this lady is the reason I took a look at OITNB. I'd heard of this new show (on this new thing called Netflix, whatever that was), but when I read Kate Mulgrew was part of the ensemble cast, I checked it out ... for seven years. However, she'll always be Captain Janeway to me.

Please don't start the "best captain" argument you're going to incite some very heated debates.

[@mirabelmadrigal8956]

Efstathios Dimopoulos literally it’s my opinion and if someone doesn’t like it they’re free to move on. But, let me rephrase for those with their delicate sensibilities that can’t handle someone having a different opinion. She is the BEST Starfleet captain in *my opinion*

[@ChristianIce]

@@asicdathens There will be no heated debate Picard is and will be the best captain, and that's a scientific fact.

[@asicdathens]

@@ChristianIce My opinion as well.

[@martinalubbing9655]

I guess with Star Trek it is like it is with Doctor Who. Every Whovian has "their Doctor", the one they liked and sympathized the most with and every Star Trek Fan has "their Captain". Mine is Captain Janeway , my best friend prefers Captain Picard. No heated argument needed.

[@sacmakiz]

She is ah-mazing! So happy to know her after watching Orange

[@videovoidtv]

Her Star Trek character is just as bad ass as Red is. I was a kid when she became Captain and Star Trek fans loved her.

She as Captain Janeway was awesome, Star Trek Voyager is my alltime favourite series since childhood!

[@Caviar_Liberta]

Real Trek fans as myself didn't even bat an eye at the idea of a female captain of a Star Ship. X gen had the idea of equality drilled into us so it's like please it's the "future" so it should be normal.

I was surprised there was no acknowledgement of her voiceover work, I’m a big Dragon Age fan and Flemeth is a stand out performance. But then looking back on 7 years on Star Trek and another 7 on Orange and you see a few weeks of voiceover work is a drop in the ocean

[@FattyChanGaming]

Captain Janeway will always have a big place in my heart next to Jean-Luc Picard! two of the all time legends of star trek!

in terms of Captains yes i totally agree i however would add The Doctor From Voyager, Neelix, Seven of Nine, Spock, Scotty (The original not the new version), and of course McCoy to my favourites of all time. Even the song about DR. McCoy by S.P.O.C.K. is great

[@Jaeih]

(Orange is the New Black Spoilers!!) Having seen every episode of Voyager with her and then seeing Kate Mulgrew in the last season of Orange is the new Black was heartbreaking. Seeing this person, who I knew as the great Captain Janeway who lead her crew home, slowly loosing her memories in prison... Man. It hurt. Although it's just acting and although they are two different characters, I saw them as the same person.

[@michaelgjoyce]

Helo such a great actor to be able to play two such strong parts. Took me a while to realise Kate was Janeway due to her inhabiting Red so well.

[@zoesmybaby]

Growing up and seeing her as a Star Trek captian was more powerful than I have even realized until I saw her on OITNB. For Millennial women, she is part of the fabric of our confidence in never doubting that we are capable of what a man can accomplish. We have to work even harder as it is like going against the flow of a river while the men float along.

[@texasfossilguy]

A truly exceptional actress, a complicated and immensely thoughtful woman, who has lived a wonderful rollercoaster life and career. Her life is such a spectrum of everything; pain and love, sucesses and failures, tragedy and redemption. What a remarkable woman. Id love to just sit and have tea with her, her strength reminds me a lot of my grandmothers character.

First, have to say I LOVE ST Voyager. My favorite storyline in the whole series. But shout out to the interviewer for asking somewhat thoughtful questions!

Her resemblance to Katherine Hepburn - voice, manner, looks, personality - is UNCANNY. And a terrific actress in her own right.

[@hannahwhite1729]

From the time I was 4 I wanted to be just like Captain Janeway. I prayed every night for those guys to travel back in time and beam me up. I even cut my long long hair to like Kate. She was my hero. She was the first women I had ever seen to be portrayed so powerfully. She had more whit, strength and cunning than good ol' Capt. Kirk had in his pinky finger. If it wasn't for Janeway, I would definitely not be the women I am today. Thanks Kate for literally being one of the greatest influences in my life. Your own strength and smarts transends through your characters, inspiring many young women just like myself. I look forward to many great works in the future

It was seeing Kate Mulgrew name on a show called orange is the new black, that got me curious about the show, and I became addicted not straight away I must admit, but I've binge watched this show, i'm half way through season 3 at the minute, but what saddens me a little is that if I hadn't seen Kate Mulgrews name I probably wouldn't have watched it, as it's not the kinda show i'd watch,and I would have been a lesser person for missing such an amazing show,All the actors and actresses are amazing and believable, the wroters are brilliant, the show has such character depth, not seen in other shows, the way it flashes back into characters lives before prison is superb, I don't have a favourite character on the show, as I feel this may diminish the other fine actresses and actors, alls I can say is they are ALL leaving an impression upon me. I'll remember this show for a very long time and thank you Kate Mulgrew for accepting a role in the show..when I think sometimes my job can be difficult, it doesn't compare to having to speak Russian on camera. Back to another episode I think.

Was a young man then and went a woman captain? WTF. I have never been happier to be proven wrong! She instantly became my favorite when the show aired.
