Star Trek involvement
Gibney has a history of involvement in the Star Trek TV series, some of it behind the scenes. She appeared twice on Star Trek: The Next Generation, once as a holodeck facsimile of Dr. Leah Brahms in the episode "Booby Trap" and later, as the real Dr. Brahms herself in "Galaxy's Child". In both these episodes she was Geordi's love interest. She also appeared on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, in the episodes "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost", as Erika Benteen. She was considered for the role of Captain Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager, but did not get the role. She was later considered for the role of Seven of Nine and tested twice. She was also considered, but likewise rejected, for the role of the Borg Queen in the film Star Trek: First Contact.
