Suzie Plakson has appeared in numerous television shows over the years, most notably Mad About You and How I Met Your Mother. To sci-fi fans, she is probably best known for portraying four distinct characters across three Star Trek television series. In The Next Generation, she portrayed K’Ehleyr and Doctor Selar, Tarah in Enterprise, and Lady Q in Voyager.

Janet McTeer told The Los Angeles Times in 2020, “I’m six feet tall and have never been what you’d call conventionally pretty.” We’d disagree on the second part. However, one cannot deny that the actress’s height was ideal for her role as the icy, imposing cartel lawyer Helen Pierce in Ozark. Indeed, a 2016 New Yorker article revealed her on-set moniker as “McTall.”
