Jennifer Morrison reveals Star Trek fake scene that landed her the role
Jennifer Morrison has carved a lasting niche in television history, most notably through her seven seasons on the beloved series Once Upon a Time, where she played Emma Swan. Her tenure established her as a recognizable and compelling presence on screen, building upon her earlier success in series like House.
Yet, when discussing moments that truly defined her career, Morrison pointed to an experience far outside the realm of fantasy fairytales. She revealed that her greatest audition high wasn’t tied to her television roles, but rather to a different cinematic universe entirely: the iconic Star Trek franchise.
Morrison shared that this moment came from a conversation with Perri Nemiroff regarding the latest episode of Collider Ladies Night. It was during this discussion that she reflected on how the world of Star Trek provided her with an unforgettable peak experience in the audition circuit.
The connection extended beyond just an appreciation for the science fiction genre; it involved a specific casting opportunity. Morrison spoke about participating alongside Chris Hemsworth in roles as James T. Kirk’s parents, showcasing a talent that transcended television drama and entered the orbit of classic sci-fi cinema.
