Sarah Silverman (born 1 December 1970; age 53) is an American actress and comedian who played Rain Robinson in the Star Trek: Voyager episodes "Future's End" and "Future's End, Part II."
Starting her acting career on Saturday Night Live, she has since made guest appearances in Crank Yankers, Drawn Together, Futurama, Frasier (with Kelsey Grammer), and Monk (with Billy Burke, Nicole Forester, and Stanley Kamel). She has also made movie appearances in The Bachelor, Say It Isn't So, Heartbreakers, The Aristocrats and Sarah Silverman:Jesus is Magic.
Sarah starred in the Fox Network's short lived 2000 comedy television series Greg the Bunny (with Bob Gunton).
She starred with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine guest star Stephen Yoakam, as well as Larry Drake and Bruce Bohne, in the 1998 movie Overnight Delivery.
She currently has her own show on Comedy Central called The Sarah Silverman Program. The episode "Batteries" of that series starred fellow Voyager alumnus Tucker Smallwood as God.
In 2007 she hosted the 2007 MTV Movie Awards. In an brief interview with Entertainment Weekly as a leadup to the MTVMA's, she was asked: "You guest-starred on two episodes of Star Trek: Voyager. What's one misconception about Trekkies that needs clearing up?" Her response was, "Oooh! This is totally true! Since I did that in 1996, one thing I learned about sci-fi nerds is the majority — and you're not going to believe this because it's not portrayed that way in movies — are black. More black people than white people recognize me from Star Trek. Black people love sci-fi. That's a serious fun fact. You're welcome."
