Exclusive Interview with Marlene Forte: ‘Dallas’, ‘Star Trek’, Latinos in Media, More The thing that I enjoy the most as an entertainment journalist is talking freely with people way more talented than myself. I get even more from remarkable Hispanics like Marlene Forte, because on top of their valuable insights I leave the exchange inspired and more hopeful. In our exclusive video interview, Forte talks about her beginnings in the world of acting, her experience in shows like TNT’s Dallas (premiering its new season on August 18), being part of a blockbuster like J.J. Abram’s “Star Trek,” her opinions regarding the opportunities Latinos have in the media today, and much more. “The hit drama series based upon one of the most popular television dramas of all time, about the bitter rivalries and family power struggles within a Texas oil and cattle-ranching dynasty. Set in the big state of Texas, TNT’s new DALLAS also lives life large and in the fast lane and brings a new generation of stars together with cast members from the original drama series.”
