Living Long and Prospering with Stephanie Czajkowski

I'm joined on the podcast today by Stephanie Czajkowski (pronounced check-house-key) currently Vulcan Lt. T’Veen in STAR TREK: PICARD she is also best known for her roles as the bald badass alter-ego Hammerhead on HBO Max’s Doom Patrol, and stone-cold killer Bex Dawson on the reboot of McGruber on NBC Peacock, her guest starring role as Chyna on the NBC comedy, Young Rock, starring Dwayne Johnson and the Postmaster in 20th Century Studios feature film, The Call of the Wild. 

Czajkowski has proven an inspiration and advocate for breast cancer awareness, having personally battled with not one but three types of unrelated cancer. A cancer “long hauler,” she has endured through a thyroid removal, six chemo sessions, a double mastectomy and 25 sessions of radiation for she what she calls her “cancer trifecta”. To deal with her roller-coaster reality, Czajkowski and her husband chronicled her health journey on their humorous yet honest podcast, ChemoSkinny, which they are turning into a movie.

We talk about her actor's hat trick of having major roles with DC, WWE, and Star Trek back to back. And then we get philosophical.
