My first choice would be JIM FITZPATRICK also. I have not missed an episode since the begining of the first series in the 60’s. JIM would bring a commanding, serious presence to the character and film. I have always thought he reminded me of Pike.

Live longer.

Jim Fitzpatrick is a good find….

Neal McDonough also has the eyes, and Star Trek-Paramount background. Dye his hair to the correct Hunter color…

Tim Robbins could play a serious Pike.

And, shouldn’t Pike be a Commodore at this point? He’ll already be through 2 five-year missions, and into his third…. And his promotion to Fleet Captain should be about to proceed…. (thus freeing the spot for young Kirk.)

Yes all of these guys have acting talents, but the ones who have been mentioned that look the Part of Hunter is actors Jim Fitzpatrick and Ray Liotta. Lets start a poll with those two

Alright, Ray Liotta would be spot on. The only thing they would have to do is give him a digital face lift ala X-3. If they can’t get him then maybe George Clooney would be able to pull it off.

Even if an A-lister takes the part, you can’t promote a film based on a cameo appearance. There are a staggering number of successful films with virtually unknown actors. Do you think Sir Laurence Olivier put butts in the seats for Star Wars? It was all in the promotion, & they need to start marketing the thing like they did the original Spiderman, so that means like…oh..yesterday maybe! Like it’s been said before, every actor that’s been chosen brings a unique following to the table with them.

I would agree with you on most films, but not this one. This STAR TREK movie has a monster of a hill to climb. Trek films must rid themselves from the image of “cult” and perceived bad/TV type movies. Spider-man never had to faced that. People who will stand in line must believe this is a legitimate Hollywood production. A 140 million budget will help, so will a sophisticated ad campaign, great posters and TV spots, but these are just outer packaging. An A list of actors would be more of an immediate and legitimate signal that this will be a first-rate production… the best advertising of all.

Dennis Quaid as Pike great choice he doesn’t look like Hunter but I can see Dennis Quaid playing Captain Pike.
Bruce Campbell if he can play Hunter playing Pike .
