Canadian actress who played Alice, the seductive human form taken by a sentient alien shuttle that takes hold of Tom Paris's mind, in the sixth-season Voyager episode Alice.
Claire Rankin is a Canadian actress with many stage and television credits, including a recurring role as Kate Heightmeyer in Stargate Atlantis.
In the sixth-season Voyager episode Alice she played the title character. Tom Paris buys a derelict shuttle from a junk dealer, restores it and names it Alice. The craft has a neural interface that links it to its pilot, and it begins to appear to him as a woman only he can see.
Rankin's Alice flatters, isolates and finally coerces Paris, driving him to steal supplies and fly towards a particle fountain the ship regards as home.
