Even his girlfriend had to save him! C'mon, this guy wouldn't make a pimple on Kirk's ass. He may be a good up & comer, but he only fits roles of a hotdog, a Starbuck from Battlestar or the Human Torch, for instance. Coach Boomer's voice from "Sky High" kept reverberating in my head' "SSS-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-DK-I-I-CK!!!!! He is not a leader, but one of the crew. Captain Kirk? This guy doesn't have the cahoonas to play Janeway! I watched “Poisiden” over the weekend but was too busy watching Josh Lucas & Kurt Russell to even remember Vogel was there.

My bet would go to a very very young Kirk... And my casting would be Edward *Ed* Speleers...! I liked him in ERAGON and even being so young I thought he had "enough" of a presence to maybe play e young Kirk. Take a deep look on him... This can be the guy we are looking for...! . .

I know the argument of they want actors not impersonators but the Kirk guy has GOT to look, sound, and well - be like a young Shatner as much as possible. (just like Quinto is obviously going to do with Spock) - that sort of goes for the rest too ...... Its a tough assignment its risky because no one wants a so so Kirk…they’ll want there to be a collective gasp from the audience of ‘oh my god its Captain Kirk!!’ when they see/hear etc whoever on screen…..

I thought that of all the main characters finding a new spock was going to be the most difficult, but looks like that wasn't the case at all.... interesting. Oh, can't we just bring back Bill shatner?? ;) that will solve a hell of a lot of problems. Have a plot that ages Kirk rapidly for some reason to justify his appearance :D that would give us the chance to see a proper modern morph effect that seems to have been missing from this week's man trap episode. hehe. But seriously I'm still in favour of having a classically trained theater actor to play Kirk. Surely there must be someone, one person in the entire world, who can pull off a kirk!

As one might suspect, many actors have already auditioned for the role. However, the same issue arose that was iterated when attempting to cast Superman/Clark Kent in SR a couple of years ago. Out of all the actors who audition you had some who looked like Kirk but could not act, some could act but looked nothing like Kirk and the rest fell into a mesh of a so-so in between. From what others have heard for the case of Star Trek, however, is that the issue with the "so-so" choices is they have no one leaves them thinking "He is Kirk." It is more of "he is the best we have out of what he ended up getting" and hoping their choice works out come time to shoot the film. There apparently were even ideas floating about to do an open casting call for the role (same as was done for the roles of Superman and Wolverine) but someone along the line decided not to.

BUT, this guy DOES look like he belongs in a boy band and certainly is NO leader of men, no mans man. From his look, this is possibly the worst selection you could make for a Captain Kirk. All my males friends loved Kirk. They would rip this guy apart. Well, JJ would know better then us right now who is right for the role of Kirk.
