SUMMARY: Geneviève Bujold, a famous Academy Award-winning film actress, was originally cast as Captain Janeway. During her tenure, Janeway's first name became 'Nicole'. However, three days into filming and on the second day of filming her scenes, she proved to be unsuitable and quit the role.

This article is about Bujold's time on [Star Trek Voyager]. There is a script excerpt, together with screenshots from three Bujold scenes, and words about Bujold by executive producer Rick Berman, Roxann Dawson and Robert Picardo.
