Jolene Blalock (born March 5, 1975 in
San Diego, California) is an American actress best known
for playing Sub-Commander T'Pol, a Vulcan in Star Trek:
Enterprise. Prior to Enterprise, her highest profile
role was playing Medea in a 2000 adaptation of Jason and
the Argonauts.
Early career: A popular model, Blalock has
appeared on the cover of many men's lifestyle magazines
and was twice featured in Maxim's "Girls of
Maxim" gallery. She posed for a clothed fashion
layout in Playboy in April 2002. She was later
interviewed by the magazine for its "20Q"
section in February 2005.
Star Trek: Enterprise: Blalock's 30th birthday on
March 5, 2005, coincided with the filming of her final
scenes as T'Pol. During the spring of 2005, she was
quoted in a Toronto Star interview and at her Pasadena
convention appearance as calling the Enterprise finale
episode, "These Are the Voyages..."
"appalling" although the reasons for this
opinion were not initially reported. In a later
interview, Blalock expanded upon this by saying that she
was upset that the final episode focuses more upon
characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation than
Enterprise.
Convention involvement: Blalock initially
expressed reluctance to participate in Star Trek
conventions, but made a first appearance at a convention
in Pasadena, California in March 2005. Her second
appearance was at an autograph signing show in Milton
Keynes, England in late April which was soon followed by
an appearance at a convention in Bonn, Germany and
others.
A self-confessed "Trekkie" and
big fan of Star Trek: The Original Series, she was
openly critical of Enterprise during its third and
fourth seasons. She has stated that she felt that the
show was creatively lacking, and that the show's
producers were out of touch with Trek fans, although she
called the fourth season a distinct improvement over
what came before.
After Enterprise: In March and April 2006,
Blalock filmed I Dream of Murder, a made-for-cable film,
in the vicinity of Calgary.
She appears in film Slow Burn with LL Cool J and Ray
Liotta which was filmed in 2003, unveiled at the Toronto
International Film Festival in September 2005 and had a
theatrical release in 2007. In the film, Blalock
appeared topless briefly for the first time in her
career. She appeared in a guest starring role in two
episodes of Stargate SG-1 as Ishta, leader of a group of
female Jaffa.
She was scheduled to appear on an
episode of Lost during the 2005-2006 season as a former
love interest of Sawyer, but the episode was
(reportedly) scrapped in favor of a Michael centered
episode. It has been announced that she will co-star in
an upcoming horror film entitled Shadow Puppets.
Personal life: Blalock dated Edward Furlong for
several months in 2001. She is a passionate dog lover
and appeared on the cover of popular British dog
publication K9 Magazine.
On April 22, 2003, Blalock, whose hobbies include
surfing and art, married Michael Rapino, CEO of Live
Nation. Veering from convention, she proposed to him.
