Linda Park is a Korean
American actress who is best known for her portrayal of
communications officer character Hoshi Sato in the
television series Star Trek: Enterprise.
Linda Park was born in Korea and raised in San Jose,
California. She participated in a number of theatrical
productions in her teens at Notre Dame High School and
Bellarmine College Preparatory, leading her ultimately to
seek and earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Boston
University. During her college career, she spent a semester
in England, studying at the London Academy of Music and
Dramatic Art and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Among
her college stage credits are Mad Forest, Lysistrata, Cyrano
de Bergerac, Richard III and The Trojan Women.
Less than a year after graduation, she was cast in the role
of Hoshi Sato in the fifth incarnation of the Star Trek
franchise, Star Trek: Enterprise. Hoshi Sato was the ship's
communications officer, with a natural gift for translating
alien languages. Park herself is fluent in English, Korean,
and Spanish.
Park is an active student of dance. Remarking that "dancing
has always been my second love", she still studies ballet,
among other dance forms. Park is a bronze-level
international Latin ballroom dancer.

the co-founder of the theater company Underground Asylum. In
October 2003, Park starred in UA's world premiere of the
