A former model, Jolene Blalock landed the high-profile role of Subcommander T'Pol in the Star Trek series Enterprise in 2001. (T'Pol is the Vulcan member of a starship crew headed by Captain Archer, played by Scott Bakula.) A bikini-clad 2001 appearance on the cover of Maxim magazine helped boost Blalock's profile. She has also guest-starred on various TV series including JAG and Veronica's Closet.
