Kate Mulgrew<\/strong> has some thoughts on what fans should see regarding the casting in the new Star Trek<\/em> series, set to air in 2017, and on balancing work and personal life.<\/p>\n

Mulgrew is in favor of diversity, but also curious as to the sex of the next Star Trek<\/em> captain. “There has not been an LGBT Captain,” she said. “There are an infinity of things they haven’t had. But I’ll be curious to see if they choose a man or a woman. I think I wouldn’t mind a bit if I — well, I’m not even going to tell you that, that’s selfish. I’m eating my words, eating them! It’s just kind of nice being the only female Captain to date.”<\/p>\n

The actress hopes that the next actor or actress to take on the role has an easier time balancing both a personal and a professional life, something that she found to be difficult during her time as Janeway. “I had two little children at home, so I was in a constant state of conflict,” she said. “How do I get to them? What\u2019s going on? How do I assuage their fears? How do I balance all of this? I need to be as every good a mother as I am an actress. It was very difficult.<\/p>\n

“I played Captain Janeway in the era that had not resolved the conflicts surrounding mothers and work.”<\/p>\n

Mulgrew believes that it’s easier to find that balance today, but there is still room for improvement. “It’s a new day in television,” she said. “It’s slow-going. I’m not gonna be foolish about it. It’s still a boy’s club. But this must change, out of necessity.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
