It’s a big week for Star Trek: Discovery actor Mary Chieffo, as the lady behind L’Rell follows a leading role in this week’s “Point of Light” with appearances on the Ready Room after-show and heads to a Star Trek-centric game show on Monday.
The second week of The Ready Room post-show interview livestream launched this afternoon with Mary Chieffo as the starring guest, spending more than 35 minutes talking with host Naomi Kyle about L’Rell’s evolution and development into “Point of Light.”
Along with Chieffo’s usual exuberance, the web show also evolved to include behind-the-scenes footage of Chieffo, Shazad Latif (Tyler), and returning guest star Ken Mitchel (Kol’sha) on set filming this week’s episode.
Coming back to Earth, the actor will be helping to host a special Star Trek-themed edition of the long-running CBS game show Let’s Make a Deal on Monday, an event first announced back in August ahead if its late-summer taping.
The audience at the Trek taping was made up of dozens of Los Angeles-based Star Trek fans, in costume, representing ever era of the franchise from the Original Series through Discovery and even the Kelvin Timeline, and Chieffo helped out with some on-set Klingonese.
The show which just happens to air on CBS will air on Monday; check your local listings for specifics.
