Episode 200: Chelah Horsdal Returns

Chelah Horsdal has been busy since her first appearance on the YVR Screen Scene Podcast some 193 episodes ago. That episode dropped shortly after she’d wrapped up her critically acclaimed role as Helen Smith on Amazon Prime’s The Man in the High Castle. Since then, she’s been seen in Ash, the astonishing second feature from acclaimed filmmaker Andrew Huculiak, as a woman who learns that her husband has been accused of unspeakable crimes while a massive forest fire threatens her community – and in Netflix’s highly dramatic friendship tearjerker Firefly Lane as Margie Malarkey, Kate’s devoted mother and sometimes-not-devoted wife to Bud. Last month, Chelah went where no Chelah has gone before when she made her Star Trek debut on Star Trek Discovery, playing the Cardassian/Bajoran/human President of the Federation. In this poignant interview Chelah reflects on her bold journey from Helen, through COVID, and to Star Trek Discovery, and ruminates on her future. Episode sponsor: Fish Flight Entertainment
