Alexandra L. Doig (born June 8, 1973 in
Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian actress who uses the
stage name Lexa Doig. She is best known for her role as
Rommie in the science fiction TV series Andromeda, and
has appeared on the TV Series Stargate SG-1 as a
recurring member of the cast.
Biography: Doig is of English and Scottish
descent on her father's side, and Filipina on her
mother's. She was born and raised in Toronto, where her
family held season tickets to their local theatre. Doig
wanted to be an actress at the age of nine after seeing
a production of Porgy and Bess.
At sixteen, she enrolled in a modelling
course and was immediately picked up by an agent. Doig
did commercials and model work, before dropping out of
high school during her final year to pursue an acting
career. She worked on stage productions of Romeo and
Juliet and Arsenic and Old Lace while auditioning for
film and television roles.
Doig enjoys reading, rollerblading, and playing RPG
computer games and Dungeons & Dragons. In 2003 she
married Stargate SG-1 actor Michael Shanks. They have a
daughter born in 2004 and a son born in 2006. The family
divide their time between Toronto and Vancouver (where
Shanks' series Stargate is filmed) with plans to move to
Los Angeles in the near future.
Career: Doig had a small role on Gene
Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict, but her first
significant role was on William Shatner's series TekWar.
Doig played "Cowgirl", a specialist in
tracking and obtaining information from the net.
"I walked out of the audition absolutely convinced
I had blown it, and then my agent called to tell me I
got the part. I was leaping around my parents' house and
screaming at the top of my lungs. I knew then I'd chosen
the right profession and I've never looked back
since." Doig landed the role of Tina Backus on the
short-lived series CI5: The New Professionals in 1998.
In 2000 Doig was in another Roddenberry
series, Andromeda. She portrayed the artificial
intelligence of the title ship in dual roles - as seen
on viewscreens or holograms, and a separate android
avatar called Rommie.
In 2001, Doig was the female lead in the horror film
Jason X. Doig also appeared in several episodes for the
ninth and tenth seasons of Stargate SG-1 in a recurring
role as Dr. Carolyn Lam. She also has a recurring role
as college professor Wendy Paulson in the second season
of The 4400.
Trivia: In 2001 Lexa Doig worked with
husband-to-be and Guest Star Michael Shanks on an
episode of Andromeda titled "Star Crossed",
where their characters were romantically involved. Two
years later, the plot continued with "Day of
Judgement, Day of Wrath".
Private life: On August 2, 2003, Doig married
actor Michael Shanks. They have two children: a daughter
Mia Tabitha Shanks, born September 13, 2004 and a son
Samuel David Shanks, born March 19, 2006.
