Currently working with her. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. Super nice and friendly, very easy to work with. One of the best actors Ive been fortunate enough to work aside.
Met her at DragonCon 2011, super friendly and cheerful person. Always that lovely smile and cheery attitude when I saw her. Ezri was one of my favourites, a surprise after Jadzia's departure.
ezri was a fantastic addition to DS9. jadzia’s death was heartbreaking and confusing and i think having a confused successor perfectly mirrored the feelings of losing her.
Wow, she's even more beautiful now than she was then. Personally, i loved Ezri from the get go. Yeah, I missed Jadzia, but Ezri was a relatable character.
My friends all ask me why I crush on older women. It's simply because those "older women" have been my crushes since I was a child. But she's still gorgeous! Can't believe I hated her when she replaced Jadzia...
@@willowfrog33 I liked her. She was not just some Jadzia Clone, but a different character. And I clearly saw the "Dax" aspects in her the same as in Jadzia.
Wow... it's kind of bizarre to go straight from watching some DS9 episodes to seeing these cast interviews on TH-cam. Nicole is still very beautiful, but she and Cirroc Lofton were so young when they were on the show, the difference in appearance is more dramatic. For everyone else, they were middle-aged, and years later they look much the same except with a few more wrinkles and some graying hair. Nicole and Cirroc went from almost-teenagers to mid 40s. I don't think anyone else except for Wil Wheaton was this young when they were a part of Star Trek... is that right?
Not sure if this counts, but Clint Howard was 7 when he guest starred as Balok in TOS, 36 when he guest starred as Grady in DS9, and 43 when he guest starred as Muk in Enterprise. memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Clint_Howard
As much as I love/d Jadzia, I wish we could've had more time with Ezri and Nicole - a Season 8. I know there are novels with Ezri, but I'm not a reader.
A confusing response--a bit unnecessary, not really in the spirit of Trek.I mean considering there are many levels, and ways, to be a fan. I was intending to start building a 1:500 TOS Connie today--after completing a 1:1000 NX-01 Refit, lighting and customizing a 1:677 U.S.S. Voyager---pouring hours into looking at CGI renders, studio images, interviews, and other fan builds. But sure, okay I'll stick to Power Rangers. The saucer section will be pink, secondary hull blue, nacelles yellow...gotta keep the nav lights red and green. I suppose the deflector dish can be black...the windows white. I think I'm going to have a Mighty Morphin' time!
The thing about DS9 is that every main character did things and behaved in ways that could have turned the fans against them. Especially Kira. But none of the main characters jumped off the cliff to their death as Jadzia did in the Season 2 episode ' Blood Oath '. Sisko asked Jadzia "Do you really think if you return your going to just walk in here and carry on as though nothing has ever happened?" For this fan Jadzia should have never returned and in fact that Jadzia never did return. The writers took the audience viewers far into the series before they disposed of the self inflicted fatality way back in season 2 ' Blood Oath' of Jadzia. Fans not seeing a Whole trill again until the final season introduction of Ezri Dax.
DS9 technically speaking, was not stationary in two ways: 1). Nothing is stationary in space 2). All of the characters, story lines and arcs evolved in the most unpredictable, realistic ways; a journey for us all
Wasn't it a station and not stationary? If you are unaware of the difference's it makes your original post a bit moronic doesn't it? Technically speaking it wasn't called Deep Stationary Nine was it? Were you grown in the hydroponics bay?
She gets more Gorgeous with every year even without the makeup. If anything, Star Trek Deep Space Nine limited her career by not allowing her to fabricate the character as much as she could. I really want to see her in more productions.
She is still working it. Both her and Jadzia were total babes on the show, but I loved the way that they were not only hot, but played an active role in the stories.
Nicole de Boer is truly a very beautiful and artistic woman. She added so much into Star Trek and into film. It's wonderful to get her input on the franchise in this interview. If only Berman continued the story onward and she got to be a captain. She would've been the best captain ever even better than Janeway.
what ds9 added to startrek was depth. my favourite series is tng, but ds9 is a very very close second. tng had a lot of exploration, and meeting different cultures and lots of complex moral dilemmas.ds9 expanded on the cultures we already knew(specially the ferengi,cardassians and bajorans) in ways tng simply couldnt, given the different nature of the show.
they ought to make a short series of Ezri on the Aventine. Next to Bashire her character was my favorite character and DS9 was and still is my favorite Trek show.
One of the rare American actress who ages well. Young she was super cute, a pure sexual fantasy. Shame to have never seen her with pigtails... She would have been even more "cute"
"But actually Armin was the one who was really the nicest" I will never get over the fact that that despicable little Troll, that pathetic and mischievous thief, was played by a person who somehow manages to be even kinder than most other actors on the show.
my favorite Canadian actress since 98. The british-Columbian Gwyneth paltrow, except much more down to earth and unpretentious. I'd love to meet her, and get a photo with her at some sci-fi convention one of these days, but I just missed the one in Ottawa because im 'out of the loop' and didn't find out about it until the last minute. anyways....she's obviously lovely, and seems like good people-
I Li ked Ezri more than Jadzia. In making Dax the 9-lives wise character, I think the writers were blocked by any development, so Jadzia was mostly a science-term spewer or the wise-cracking sidekick; both of which worked well, thanks to Terry Farrell. But with Ezri’s non trained setup, she was far less confident, allowing much more development. So Ezri actually had more eps about her, than Jadzia’s handful.
I loved both of them equally, but I do agree that the Jadzia/Worf pairing was cringy; and it seemed forced too. With Kira and Odo, their pairing was sweet and endearing, because the series developed it for years, so it felt natural. But Jadzia and Worf just met when he arrived on DS9, and within a few episodes they're suddenly getting married. What were they thinking? I didn't buy it at all.
JanetStarChild well they getting married in season 6 epi 7 but there worf was allready 2 seasons in the show i think they great twogether and i wouldnt want it in diffrent way
We definitely disagree on the Kira/Odo relationship. I was willing to buy that Odo was in love with Kira, but nowhere did I see any indication that Kira was in love with Odo until the writers sprang that revelation on us. It was as if the writers forced a sudden change of heart onto Kira because they felt that a lot of fans wanted those two to be paired up. I felt that Odo's brief relationship with that other woman (can't remember what the episode was called) was far more natural than the long relationship he had with Kira toward the end of DS9. To their credit, the actors played out the Kira/Odo relationship well. It's just a shame that they were working against the precedent of Kira's non-interest that had already been established. It reminds me of the issue I had with Rom. Rom started out as a murderous fiend who made Quark look like a saint in comparison. Later on, the writers decided to change Rom into a lovable and progressive character. Even though the new Rom was written and acted well, it didn't work because of the way Rom had been introduced to us. As for the Jadzia/Worf relationship, I thought it was okay. I wasn't crazy about the relationship simply because I never liked Jadzia as a character. But when you consider that Worf's last serious relationship had been with a strong woman, the Worf/Jadzia relationship does make sense.
Honestly her Pixie Dream Girl was such a JARRINGLY different Dax, I hated it at the time. I liked the way that Terry's Dax was rough and ready and (for the time) intensely progressive and Nicole's character seemed like a step backwards. She grew on me though .. but really.. Terry's departure was honestly CRAP. Whoever it was, screw that person!
Pity she was introduced so late. Didn't really service the actor or the show. And with VOY being set in the opposite corner of the galaxy you couldn't transplant her easily.
Currently working with her. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. Super nice and friendly, very easy to work with. One of the best actors Ive been fortunate enough to work aside.
You have worked with Nicole?
Met her at DragonCon 2011, super friendly and cheerful person. Always that lovely smile and cheery attitude when I saw her. Ezri was one of my favourites, a surprise after Jadzia's departure.
Both Daxes were played by nice ladies. Different to TNG where the ladies were unpleasant.
I think had ezri been on the show longer, she would have had more time to develop but nicole did a good job.
Still a beauty.
Yes, definitely no Trill spots, lol
ezri was a fantastic addition to DS9. jadzia’s death was heartbreaking and confusing and i think having a confused successor perfectly mirrored the feelings of losing her.
Wow, she's even more beautiful now than she was then. Personally, i loved Ezri from the get go. Yeah, I missed Jadzia, but Ezri was a relatable character.
She's adorable.
She is a great looking woman.
My friends all ask me why I crush on older women. It's simply because those "older women" have been my crushes since I was a child.
But she's still gorgeous! Can't believe I hated her when she replaced Jadzia...
we all did....and then slowly accepted her.
Same here
Exactly 1 year and 1 week older than me. Haha never knew I was a attracted to an older woman :) Plus she still looks younger than myself!
@@sabin97 I'll never accept her. She was Shit!
@@willowfrog33 I liked her. She was not just some Jadzia Clone, but a different character. And I clearly saw the "Dax" aspects in her the same as in Jadzia.
Watched Cube in Cinema 1997, watched it today 2024/25. Love her so much! Leaven forever ❤
Loved Nicole in Star Trek and The Dead Zone.
I was very happy to see Nicole de Boer come onto DS9. She's gorgeous!!
I'm watching DS9 for the first time. I'm gutted we only got 1 season with her. She's great.
When Nicole makes her entrance at Sisko's she was so cute/beautiful!
Loved her in 'The Dead Zone' also; another Michael Piller gem.
Met her on set today! She is SUPER nice :)
A few of the trek actors have said that about Armin... How he reached out and befriended them from day 1
Such a contrast from the conniving scheming Quark. It shows what a great actor Armin is.
Wow... it's kind of bizarre to go straight from watching some DS9 episodes to seeing these cast interviews on TH-cam.

I have to say I think she's prettier now.... but I'm 15 years older, too. lol

@@MirrorDimly Obviously, this isn't about guest stars.
Cirroc turned into Captain Sisko
'To boldly.. stay put' really got me, damn
As much as I love/d Jadzia, I wish we could've had more time with Ezri and Nicole - a Season 8. I know there are novels with Ezri, but I'm not a reader.
You should start. Ezri's character is much more fleshed out in the post DS9 show books.
Hell, no. Who needs another fucking counselor? Bleh.

@@BloodofPatriots Except she switches to command and doesn't become a counselor.
We boldly sat in Quark's bar, and traded rumors!
Quark's bar with Morn = Cheers with Norm!
Who Mourns for Morn? Not me I knew he wasn't dead from the very beginning of that episode. Not sorry for spoilers it's 20+ year old episode!
I still remember her from Cube. It actually took me a minute to recognize her in DS9. I though she played great characters in both.
3:32 question about which character you most enjoyed having scenes with, Nicole really should have answered, “Morn”

1). Nothing is stationary in space
2). All of the characters, story lines and arcs evolved in the most unpredictable, realistic ways; a journey for us all
well technically nothing is stationary. The milky way is moving within an expanding universe
1). space doesn't exist
2). the world is flat
I believe the actual phrase she used was “ stayed put “
Stayed put doesn’t necessarily mean stationary

Absolutely beautiful woman.... And also in mannerisms...

I hope she joins STO someday. Would love to see captain Ezri on the Aventine!

Even more beautiful now than on the show. And a genuinely nice cheerful person.

One of my favorite scenes in DS9 is when ezri is introduced at the door to sisko's restaurant.
From the movie Cube?
She sounds so Canadian! I know she is in fact Canadian... But after growing up watching Ds9 I'm not used to it. xD
17 years after the show ended and she looked even better then!
She has the most extraordinary eyes, what is that color???
Eyes that color are referred to as blue or gray
they ought to make a short series of Ezri on the Aventine. Next to Bashire her character was my favorite character and DS9 was and still is my favorite Trek show.
i like her looks in that interview better than in the show. she looks more mature, a rounder face, much nicer hair....so beautiful....
One of the rare American actress who ages well. Young she was super cute, a pure sexual fantasy. Shame to have never seen her with pigtails... She would have been even more "cute"
So expressive and natural very admirable
is it not Nicol de boer as last name is Dutch ? O.o
btw who has a name named Nicolé eee as if its canadian..
Jadzia was good, and...Ezri came...and I wished there was 8 more seasons with Ezri because she is just a fab actress!!
Happy birthday nicole from italian boy live in rome
Shes so cute and her lisp always had me from day 1!
She`s right technology advanced so fast , in parts we`re past DS9 tech our tablets are better than theirs were
Nog steeds een lekker ding
I think she was also on the TV Show- The Dead Zone
Yes, she was.
Woah she's still beautiful!
She is still beautiful, wow!
ethosflux Are you serious? She's fucking gorgeous.
She sure is!!!! :O)
Jeez...she is still VERY beautiful...at 45 (here)!
I had such a crush on her... of course... i was younger then.
Having her was like Ally Sheedy joining Star Trek. It was awesome.
Wow she is amazing looking! Looks better now!
"But actually Armin was the one who was really the nicest"
I will never get over the fact that that despicable little Troll, that pathetic and mischievous thief, was played by a person who somehow manages to be even kinder than most other actors on the show.
she is so lovley
Star Trek does rule ✌️❤️❤️❤️🥰🖖
Leaven😘😘
everyone say's armin is just a joy to work with, x) i'd like to meet him one day.
are there any star trek novels on Nog ,Ezri, Section 31, Quark, or Red Squad
They show up and are featured in the ds9 realunch novels.(except for red squad not sure on them).
She looks very beautiful as she matures into a lovely woman. I like her with long hair too. She must have been a young girl when she did DS9.
Leaven forever
Wow, she doesn't even look that much aged.
+MJSkavioke Still cute as a button. Ain't she?
She was soooo cute.

pure pure beauty, those eyes... mg, save us all
Here she kinda looks like Michelle Pfeiffer. DS9 got better and better and she was really the final touch! Love the end of this vid btw lol
oh my
She's lovely
Wow, she be bubbly!
Her long hair is NICE!!!! I like Ezi SHORT HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
I actually think she might look more attractive now than she did then
God, so in unbelievably beautiful.
Even lovelier now than she was then.
What a gorgeous woman
One of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.
Prime numbers
She was much better than Jadzia. I wish she had been Dax much sooner than she was. I hated the whole Worf/Jadzia thing. It was cringy.
I agree to an existent!

Yeah... she used to be pretty... maybe even a little cute............
+rkmugen True.
Jadzia forever. Ezri was good, but Jadzia FOREVER.
It's subjective. I was always a bit bored if Jadzia had a lot of focus in an episode. Ezri I immedeately liked and found more interesting.
Much better with long hair
Still a cutie!

still sounds cute like a little mouse
Marry me!
I likeher better than jadzia
