Jan 27 Episode 138: Rekha Sharma

Rekha Sharma played Tory Foster on Battlestar Galactica and Commander Landry on Star Trek: Discovery – both phenomenal roles for a Fijian Indian Canadian woman who grew up watching Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek and dreaming of a career in showbiz, despite the fact that there weren’t a lot of people who looked like her working in the film and television industry. But Rekha made it happen, and in this raw and revealing conversation with Sabrina Furminger, she reflects on her journey from little dreamer to science fiction mainstay. Also: Was Tory Foster really a bad person? What does Star Trek: Discovery feel like behind the scenes? All that – as well as Rekha’s impression of Edward James Olmos and her thoughts on giraffes – in this special episode of the YVR Screen Scene Podcast.
