Lexa Doig
Alexandra Lecciones Doig (born June 8, 1973) is a Canadian actress. She played the title role in the science fiction television series Andromeda (2000–2005). She also played the lead female role of Rowan in the science fiction-action horror film Jason X (2001), the tenth installment of the Friday the 13th film series. Since 2015, Doig has appeared in the Aurora Teagarden mystery television film series on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel.
Doig was born and grew up in Toronto, Ontario. Her deceased father was of Scottish descent and her mother is a native of City of Dumaguete, Philippines.
As a child, Doig studied rhythmic gymnastics, and as a teenager studied American Sign Language. She developed a strong interest in acting and was inspired to become an actor at age nine after she watched a theatre production of Porgy and Bess.
While completing secondary education at Don Mills Collegiate Institute, she enrolled in a vocational modelling program. There, at age 16, she was immediately offered representation by a talent agent and booked in various modelling projects. She chose to drop out from her final year in high school to pursue an acting career.
The initial media exposure led to her co-hosting the Canadian game show Video & Arcade Top 10. While auditioning for television and film roles, she worked on theatre productions of Romeo and Juliet and Arsenic and Old Lace.
Her first television acting role was as "Second Girl" on The Hidden Room in 1993. Her first recurring role was in the TV series TekWar in 1994 where she portrayed the role of Cowgirl. Her first movie role was in Jungleground (1995). Doig got her first big break with a starring role in the movie No Alibi in 2000. She also landed the title role in Gene Roddenberry's sci-fi TV series Andromeda where, from 2000 to 2005, she portrayed the Andromeda Ascendant ship's computer in three personas — as the ship's powerful AI (artificial intelligence) on the ship's screen, as the AI's hologram, and as Rommie, the android avatar of the AI.
In 2001, she played the female lead role of "Dr. Rowan LaFontaine" in the horror film Jason X, the tenth instalment of the Friday the 13th film series. In a recurring role as Dr. Carolyn Lam, Doig appeared in 11 episodes of the ninth and tenth seasons of Stargate SG-1 between 2005 and 2007. In 2010, Doig appeared in six episodes in the remake of V as the alien physician Dr. Leah Pearlman. In 2012, she began playing the role of Liber8 terrorist Sonya Valentine in the Canadian science fiction TV series Continuum.
In 2017, Doig began playing the recurring role of Talia al Ghul in the fifth season of Arrow. The same year she began portraying DeAnn Anderson, one of the main roles in the E! television series The Arrangement. In 2019, Doig joined the cast of the Netflix television series Virgin River, based on the Virgin River series of novels by Robyn Carr, playing Paige Lassiter.
