Sato is the ship's communications officer, with a natural gift for translating alien languages. Park herself is fluent in English and Korean, and also speaks some French.[5] She starred in all four seasons of Enterprise, appearing in 98 episodes until the series’ cancellation in 2004.
In August 2003, Park produced and starred in her first short film, My Prince, My Angel (2003).[6][7]

In 2009, Park became a series regular in the second season of Crash, playing Maggie Cheon on the Starz Network; she co-starred in 13 episodes. The show was subsequently cancelled after the death of Dennis Hopper.[12][13]

A crime procedural tweaked with the slimmest of gimmicks, 'Raines' largely boils down to one's appreciation of star Jeff Goldblum, who occupies center stage in practically every scene. Relative to riskier dramas, it seems a reasonably safe bet, though it's hardly the sort of series people will rush home to see.
