20: Sumalee Montano
In Episode 20 of All The Asians on Star Trek, we welcome actress Sumalee Montano. She appeared in three episodes of Star Trek: Picard as "Marisol Asha," the mother (maybe?) of Dahj and Soji. Outside of Star Trek , Sumalee's resume has over 180 acting credits, including ER , Veep , Nashville and Scandal , as well as a ton of voiceover roles in animation and video games. Most recently, she can be seen starring in her first series regular role on the thriller/adventure series The Lost Symbol . And this was all after she gave up a successful career in finance... to eventually become one of the Asians on Star Trek.
