Marina Sirtis Plays a Greek Prostitute

According to Marina Sirtis UK, Star Trek The Next Generation actress Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) recently completed voice over work for her role on the upcoming Fox series The Cleveland Show. The show is a Family Guy spin-off. No word yet whether Sirtis will have a recurring role. The show is scheduled to air sometime during the 2009-10 season.

In a video interview with journalist Larry Nemecek posted on YouTube, Sirtis revealed the first details about her role in The Cleveland Show animated series. Here is an excerpt.

Marina: “I actually got to meet Seth McFarland that time.”

Larry: “Because he’s a big Trek fan.”

Marina:” He is, I had to go introduced myself. He went all bashful on me. I’ve never had this experience with an animated show before, they do a table read like a regular sitcom. All the cast was there, all the animators there in the room and we read through it like a play. And they hired me for that because they needed someone who could speak Greek. So I play a Greek prostitute!” [bursts out laughing]
