He's an awesome actor and he looks the part. There's noone better for the part. I’d second Tobias Menzies for the role of Spock. He’s an awesome actor and he looks the part.

He looks the part and is an excellent actor but in particular is brilliant at comedy and drama. While not that important he's also great fun, very popular with cast members and very approachable with fans which I for one like. Nothing worse than a miserable guy who hates sci fi fans coming onto them.

I will admit. I was looking at a recent episode of Stargate Atlantis, Paul McGillian who plays the doctor on that series definitely looks like Scotty and being Scottish does not hurt, and apparently has done some work in Canada as well. Coincidence? I think not. Sorry Hugh. I made a mistake concerning Scotty. I will admit.

I"ll get back to that one later . Matt Damon just might carry the Kirk role, the Bourne films showed he could do the action sequences that Kirk is known for and he can also act.. OK !!!Hugh Jackman as Scotty, he looks like he could love the Enterprise more than Kirk does! A little make-up could make him look older. Spock , Spock, I will write that one up later.

Christian Bale would be an excellent choice for Spock, as he fully inhabits all his characters and can be quietly intense and inhuman when called for. All the choices for Kirk are wrong. And other than the big three -- and maybe Uhura (Anyone mentioned EXCEPT Thandie Newton), the rest of the cast should be relative unknowns. Frankly, if the casting was strong enough, they could do the whole thing with unknowns! I dislike the idea of trying to fit cookie-cutter actors like Damon and Affleck into already-established roles they will undoubtedly overpower.
