Nana Visitor will appear in this week’s episode of Grimm, airing Friday, November 11 at 9/8c on NBC. The episode, titled “Beeware”, has the detectives investigating a death during a flash mob that is more than it appears.
Nana Visitor is a confirmed guest at this year’s Dragon*Con, an annual genre convention held over Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, GA. Other Star Trek guests include William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Kate Mulgrew, Brent Spiner, Gates McFadden, Robert Duncan McNeill, Wil Wheaton, Tony Todd, Nicole de Boer, and Garrett Wang.
Nana joined Star Trek: Deep Space Nine co-star Rene Auberjonois on stage at Creation Entertainment’s recent convention in New Jersey. The pair participated in a traditional question and answer session with fans, then later performed a poetry and drama production called “Cross Our Hearts.” For more on the event, visit TrekMovie.com.
STARZ! announced that Nana Visitor will guest star on their new series, Torchwood: Miracle Day. In addition to Torchwood alumni, John Barrowman, Eve Myles, and Kai Owen and new headliners, Mekhi Phifer, Bill Pullman and Alexa Havins, the 10-episode, hour-long series will also feature an impressive list of guest stars: Wayne Knight (“Seinfeld,” Jurassic Park), C. Thomas Howell (“Southland,” The Outsiders), Ernie Hudson (“OZ,” Ghostbusters), Nana Visitor (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”), John DeLancie (“Star Trek: The Next Generation”), Mare Winningham (Mildred Pierce, George Wallace) and Frances Fisher (Titanic, The Lincoln Lawyer).
Torchwood: Miracle Day begins with a day when nobody dies. The result: a population boom, overnight. With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month’s time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural occurrence – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking “What is Torchwood?,” he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.
What’s Nana up to after Wildfire? She’s putting her culinery skills on display by partnering with Kim Montalvo to open a made-to-order gourmet food business in New Mexico. The business, Un Petit Morceau, offers high-end, bite-size treats both savory and sweet. Nana credits her Parisian-born mother with instilling a reverence for food and inspiring her baking. Currently the treats are carried at a few gourmet stores in Albuquerque, NM, or via special order through their email list (email unpetitmorceau@comcast.net to be added to the list). The Un Petit Morceau website will be live by the end of the year to provide special order services worldwide.
The latest film in the Friday the 13th franchise opens this weekend, on Friday the 13th. Nana Visitor stars as Pamela Voorhees, mother to the infamous Jason. Check your local listings for showtimes!
