Alice Krige plays The Borg Queen in Season 3 of "Star Trek: Picard." Krige originally played the character nearly three decades ago in "Star Trek: First Contact." In that movie, she time travels to the mid-21st century in order to assimilate Earth into the Borg Collective before humanity has developed the technology to fight them. Picard and the crew of the Enterprise travel back in time to fight the Borg, and they encounter Krige's Borg Queen there.

Krige is a highlight of the movie, playing the Borg Queen as a devil with a deal to make. She tempts the android Data (Brent Spiner) with the possibility of real human sensations and emotions. Meanwhile, she tortures Picard with memories of his time as Locutus of Borg.

Krige reprised the role twice thereafter before joining "Star Trek: Picard," appearing as the Borg Queen in an episode of "Star Trek: Voyager" and voicing the character on an episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks."

Additionally, MCU fans may know Krige from "Thor: The Dark World," in which she played the Asgardian doctor, Eir. And horror aficionados may remember her as the sinister Mrs. MC from Netflix's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and as the cult leader Christabella in 2006's "Silent Hill." The darkness of Krige's roles has taken quite a toll on her, the actor told Looper.

Krige has also appeared in episodes of "NCIS" and "Law and Order: Criminal Intent." Additionally, she played a sex worker named Maddie on five episodes of the Western drama "Deadwood."
