Fun Facts About Michelle Forbes
Prior to introducing the character of Ensign Ro Laren in episode 5.3, "Ensign Ro" of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987), she appeared in a small part in episode 4.22, "Half A Life" as the daughter of Dr. Timicin, played by David Ogden Stiers.
After appearing in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987) as Ro Laren, she was approached to play the same character in a starring role on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993). When she turned down the part, because she didn't want to commit to a regular TV role at that point in her career, a new Bajoran character, Kira Nerys, was created and Nana Visitor was cast in that part.
