British actress Christina Chong plays Lieutenant La’an Noonien-Singh on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. La’an is a new character created for Strange New Worlds, but she has connections to one of Star Trek’s most infamous villains. As her last name suggests, La’an is the descendant of Khan Noonien-Singh (Ricardo Montalbán), the genetically enhanced dictator first introduced in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode “Space Seed.” Though La’an fears becoming like her notorious ancestor, she could not be more different from the power-hungry Khan.
