What’s interesting to me is that Marina Sirtis was originally cast as Tasha and Denise Crosby originally cast as Troi, but their roles were swapped. I’d love to have seen that version of TNG.
I don’t know of anything else she’s been in that she’s played it tough, but I doubt they would have cast her that way if they didn’t initially seen something of that in her. She certainly has the presence for the role if her outgoing personality at conventions is any indication.
She’s a bit much, imo. The show didn’t need two Worfs.

It would’ve been so weird to see Marina Sirtis playing a badass security officer. I’m probably biased from only seeing her as Troi though.

TNG itself! She “played” a Tal Shiar officer!
Good point! She also played it tough in voice roles in Gargoyles, now that I think of it.
She was tough in Stargate.
She plays one of the bad guys in Mass Effect and is basically a bad ass space wizard.
Armin Shimmerman is also in the game, but he just plays two randos.
She really is great at playing against type, isn’t she?
