More about Terry:

Terry was born on November 19, 1963, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. At age 15, she became a foreign exchange student in Mexico, and, from that experience, she decided she would like to live a more adventurous life in the big city. She sent several photos to a modeling agency and then, at age 17, became a model in New York. She is most famously known for her role as Jadzia Dax in the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), but she did have some acting experience before that. In 1992, she had the starring role in the horror movie Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992). She appeared in several television and straight-to-video movies.  Afterward, Paramount decided to move her to the sitcom Becker (1998), where she played the character Reggie Kostas. 

We look forward to having you join us June 27th-29th! Trekfest is a free event and open to the public no tickets are necessary to attend!
