Chase Masterson, real name Christianne Carafano, played Leeta, a Bajoran native, who appeared in numerous episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine during the final five seasons.
The role of Leeta was created for Masterson as a one-episode character, but the producers were so impressed with Masterson’s performance that they wrote the character into “Facets”, and subsequently decided to add her to the list of recurring characters.
Masterson also lent her voice as a holographic Leeta for the video game Star Trek Online, and can be found at the game’s dabo table in Quark’s on DS9, along with other instances of a dabo table. In-game, the hologram states various canon-inspired references, including her “missing Rom”. Masterson guest-starred a number of times in the short-lived series Live Shot.
Masterson has also appeared in the Star Trek fan film “Of Gods And Men.”
Other projects include Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles and a starring role in the film Yesterday Was a Lie, as well as the film R.U.R.

Her television guest-starring roles include ER and Sliders.
Masterson hosted an Entertainment Tonight-style news program for the Sci-Fi Channel in the 1990’s called Sci-Fi Entertainment and an Internet-based radio talk show for the website The Fandom in 2004-2005.
After Masterson appeared in two Doctor Who audio adventures from Big Finish Productions, it was announced on October 19, 2012 that she would star in her own spin-off series, Vienna, as “impossibly glamorous bounty hunter” Vienna Salvatori.
Masterson has released two commercial records: 2011’s Yesterday Was a Lie and 2012’s “Burned With Desire.” In addition, she has released several independent jazz CDs: Thrill of the Chase, whose title is a play on her stage name, the follow-up EP AD ASTRA! (Latin for To the Stars!), the limited edition Crystal Anniversary: Songs from the Holosuite in honor of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s fifteenth anniversary, and the “greatest hits” compilation Jazz Cocktail.
