Starfleet Academy's Gina Yashere Had No Idea She Was Auditioning For A Star Trek Show [Exclusive]

Everyone knows Klingons, but Jem'Hadar are more familiar to fans of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," who will tell you that the Jem'Hadar were a species of genetically engineered soldiers who fought for the wicked empire known as the Dominion. The details of the Jem'Hadar's backstory haven't yet been explained on "Starfleet Academy," but then, it takes place over 800 years after the end of the Dominion War on "Deep Space Nine," so it's reasonable to assume that the Jem'Hadar made multiple scientific breakthroughs over the centuries. But not only did Yashere not know that she was auditioning for Lura Thok when she went in for "Starfleet Academy," she didn't even realize she was auditioning for a "Trek" show at all.
