Before you were cast as Deanna Troi, had you ever seen Star Trek before? Were you into any sort of Sci-fi (Doctor Who, Twilight Zone, etc) or was this a foray into new territory for you?
Thanks for answering. And I can definitely understand the embarrassment of watching yourself. I hate looking at old pics of myself 😆 And TNG definitely wouldn’t be the same without Troi. In fact, the Deanna and Lwxana centered episodes were my favorite.
She wasn't into StarTrek. The only episode she ever watched was the one with the flower people and that didn't land with her well. When a friend from England flew over to the US she wanted to go to the movies to see StarTrek 4 the voyage home with the whales because it wasn't going to be out in England for a long time and Marina was like: Really, do we have to? But they went and she actually quite like it.
Marina doesn't like StarTrek she'll watch football or chick flicks. The ones where people die from incurable diseases, Steel magnolias. Laughter through tears is her favorite emotion.
I might have listened to one too many of her podcasts but boy do I love to.
And let's be honest, Troi is best out of all StarTrek and it would be kind of weird for her to really enjoy her own performance. It's embarrassing to watch yourself.

If I remember correctly, Marina said she watched Star Trek TOS before she got the role of Troi.
