A list of actresses who were considered for the role of Captain Janeway.


I really only knew about Genevive Bujold, who's screentest really shows why she wouldn't have worked. No further comment.


I won't bash the individual actresses, but be general. A lot of the candidates can only do "tough" and "soft". Janeway needs a larger range than that.



I'm reminded of Dylan Hunt on Andromeda. The role isn't quite Kirk, Picard, or Sisko, it's something else entirely. As a whole the candidates could do "Kirk" or "Picard", but few could do "Sisko".
