Amrit Kaur is a Canadian actor who later became widely known for comedy and drama roles in film and television.
Her Star Trek appearance is in the Short Treks instalment Ask Not, released in 2019. She plays Thira Sidhu, a cadet on Starbase 28 who is handed custody of a prisoner during an apparent attack and discovers that he is Captain Christopher Pike, accused of mutiny.
Nearly the whole episode is a two-hander between Kaur and Anson Mount, as Pike quotes regulations and pleads for release and Sidhu refuses to bend. The emergency is then revealed as a simulation, and Sidhu is rewarded with an engineering posting on the USS Enterprise.
