Marva Hicks (born 5 May 1975; age 48) is an actress and singer from Petersburg, Virginia. In two episodes of Star Trek: Voyager she played the Vulcan T'Pel, Tuvok's wife (or at least, images of her.)
Prior to Star Trek, she had several guest spots on Sister, Sister, Mad About You, and played Principal Jacara for the 1997-1998 season of One Life to Live, as well as acting in several major Broadway plays. Recently she has focused much more on her singing talents than acting, and was one of Michael Jackson's back-up singers in his last world tour. Previously, she backed up such famous performers as Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, and James Ingram.
