Earl Grey 112: Troi, Goddess of Internity

Marina Sirtis Talks TNG, Internity, Women, and More.


Fans know her as "Imzadi" and ship's counselor, but Marina Sirtis
is much more. Phillip, Darren, and Daniel interview Marina (on
#DeannaTroiDay!) about her new series Internity and the campaign
to fund its production.


Sirtis helms the cast of Internity, a medical dramedy, where she
plays Dr. Camila Chivari, a 50-year-old divorcee embarking on a
second career as a doctor. She finds herself being bossed around
by a chief intern (Joey Adams, also writer and producer for the
series) who is the same age as her children, while also
encountering Nurse Tracey (Carla Jimenez) and Medical Director
Dr. Owen Sieber (Richard Ruccolo). The pilot episode is directed
by another Enterprise-D alum, Michael Dorn, who provides a chance
for a TNG flashback reunion scene!


Marina not only talks about her excitement about being involved
in Internity, but also describes what it's like to develop a show
as a "fan-funded" series, the struggles of women in the
entertainment industry (and society overall), and ... yes, why
The Next Generation is the best. The Earl Grey trio and Marina
discuss her voice acting exploits (from Gargoyles to Mass
Effect), her adventures with her Next Gen family & the other
Trek series she appeared on, what it was like to finally wear a
blue shirt, and explains the Riker/Troi relationship dynamic.


Join this special episode of Earl Grey with Marina Sirtis as she
reveals what position on the Enterprise-D she coveted, her
favorite character on the Holodeck, and why she is proud to be a
part of the TNG legacy.
