Aug 19 Episode 108: Lexa Doig

Lexa Doig is known around the world for playing ass-kicking characters on beloved genre shows. She played the Andromeda Ascendent on Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda, an android and warship who didn’t like running from a fight, and was Sonya Valentine on Continuum, one of the Liber8 future terrorists. She appeared on Arrow as former member of the League of Assassins Talia al Ghul, and stole her share of scenes in The Arrangement and Virgin River. She can currently be seen playing Aurora’s BFF Sally Allison (a reporter and a member of the Real Murders Club) in the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries series. In this fascinating and expansive episode, Lexa talks about navigating the industry as a white-passing, Filipino Scottish Canadian woman, as well as her thoughts on AI, Simon Barry’s brain, working with people who have vastly different political leanings, and the changing landscape of the entertainment industry.
