as chief security officer. Sirtis read for this Macha Hernandez part at her first three auditions before Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry wanted her and Denise Crosby to switch their roles. Sirtis started auditioning on March 23, 1987 and was cast on May 6, 1987 which was the same day she was offered the role of Deanna Troi by Gene Roddenberry, the same day she was packing to return to Britain, as her her six-month American visa had expired. After receiving her breakthrough role as Troi in the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” in 1987 she said writers found it difficult to write for Troi and even left her out of four episodes in the first season. In an interview she noted that the pilot episode "Encounter at Farpoint" was the only time in the first season she wore her own hair.

In a June 2021 Nerd News Today interview with Marina Sirtis, she elaborates that Gene Roddenberry felt that there was one too many women on Star Trek: The Next Generation during season 1. [[Gates McFadden]] plays a doctor, Denise Crosby plays security chief and Sirtis as Troi a counselor-psychologist. Sirtis said quote "but you really don’t need a psychologist. It was as simple as that. Security chief is viable, a doctor is viable—a psychologist, not so much." Ironically of the three lead woman cast members Sirtis as Deanna Troi at the end of the first season, was the only one left out of the three women.
