Haven't watched every episode of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" yet? You're not going to make Melissa Navia very happy. She stars as Lt. Erica Ortegas on the throwback spinoff, and she believes you should be as dedicated to the show as she is. Navia also walks IMDb through two more life-changing roles in her career, including the vigilante Moana on "Dietland," the closest she'll ever come to playing a princess. And she ends with her first guest star role, Elena Gabriel on "Billions," and how playing an astronaut on that series may have foreshadowed her first series regular role on "Star Trek."
