   Cassidy Guests On Enterprise   
      
   Joanna Cassidy will guest star on the Oct. 22 episode of UPN's Star Trek:   
   Enterprise, playing T'Les, the mother of Vulcan officer T'Pol (Jolene   
   Blalock), TV Guide Online reported. T'Les urges T'Pol to dump   
   crewmate/boyfriend Trip (Connor Trinneer) for an arranged marriage, the   
   site reported.   
      
   Cassidy, a veteran actress who appeared in Blade Runner, told the site that   
   she got the Enterprise gig because the show shares casting people with   
   HBO's Six Feet Under, on which she has a recurring role. "There's very   
   little loyalty in this town, and when that rears its head, it's a beautiful   
   thing," she told the site. "That's wonderful. They know they can count on   
   me. You don't hire people who are not going to do the job."   
      
   Cassidy said her character "could be conniving, but she's really not. She's   
   a very honorable, respectful woman, and she believes in a good cause. T'Les   
   is a giver; Margaret Chenowith [the character she plays on Six Feet Under]   
   is a taker. Big difference."   
      
   Cassidy added that introducing her character in the fourth season of   
   Enterprise helps flesh out T'Pol's character. "I think they're giving T'Pol   
   some weight," she said. "She is a huge part of that show, but she's been   
   left in the air somehow. I don't want to reveal what happens in the   
   mother-daughter relationship, but let's put it this way: They're testing   
   Jolene Blalock's acting chops by giving her heavy stuff to play. She did   
   well." Enterprise airs Fridays at 8 p.m.
