American child actor who played Lil, one of two feuding schoolgirls whose parents work at the Utopia Planitia shipyards, in the 2020 Star Trek: Short Treks episode Children of Mars.
Kyrie McAlpin is an American actor who was a child performer when she appeared in Star Trek: Short Treks.
She plays Lil, a human pupil at a boarding school on Earth, in Children of Mars, released in January 2020 as a prelude to Star Trek: Picard. The almost wordless film follows Lil and an alien classmate, Kima, through a day of escalating hostility that ends in a fight in the corridors.
As the two wait to be disciplined, news arrives that rogue synthetics have attacked Mars, where both girls have a parent working. McAlpin's final shot, taking Kima's hand as they watch the reports, ties the short to the backstory of Picard.
