## Fi1m on Nicole De Boer

> Nicole De Boer works well in science fiction when her characters are allowed to seem unprepared. We value the vulnerability she brings to an unfamiliar situation, though *Cube* shows how easily an ensemble can be pushed into overstatement.

*Cube* (1998) gives Nicole De Boer’s Leaven a practical reason to be there: she is a mathematician inside a deadly puzzle. That is a useful starting point for an actor, but it also presents a difficulty. The audience needs to follow the problem and remember the person trying to solve it. De Boer belongs to an ensemble that keeps distinct personalities visible, even when Vincenzo Natali’s rooms are more compelling than the people arguing inside them.

Alongside Nicky Guadagni, Maurice Dean Wint and David Hewlett, she has to keep those exchanges alive while the puzzle keeps demanding attention. We felt uneasy when survival depended on trusting someone whose judgement looked doubtful. The shifting loyalties give the actors something to play beyond alarm, and help make the film worth the evening. The performances sometimes become too broad, though. Too often, we have understood the disagreement before anyone stops talking.

The early genre work also includes *Deepwater Black* (1997), followed by a more prominent part as Ezri Dax in *Star Trek: Deep Space Nine* (1998–1999). Joining an established programme in its final season, she played an unprepared host for the Dax symbiont. De Boer’s vulnerability helps make that unfamiliar character approachable. We prefer the uncertainty she can bring to a role to the more emphatic distress of the *Cube* ensemble.

*The Dead Zone* (2002–2007) gave her six seasons as Sarah Bannerman, while *Private Eyes* (2016–2021) later took her into a recurring crime-drama role. Her association with science fiction should not obscure that continuing work in television. We would look for her in roles that give uncertainty time to register, and be wary of scripts that insist every pressure must be loudly expressed. Start with *Cube* for the uneasy cooperation, with some patience for the arguments.
