Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

This guy is a wonderful actor and has been much under-utilized for decades. You guys need to go to his FACEBOOK fan page, click like and talk to him! He needs to hear this from his fans! He is faithful to talk to them too. His page has a pic of him in front of a red background. I didn’t know who he was until 2009 and now I’m a fan for life!

Mark Leonard is no longer with us. Cross made Sarek his own just like he made Barnabas his own. He raises the bar too high for many to follow so they have to come up with their own incarnations or die trying!

I suppose it doesn’t really make that much of a difference now, but…
I think Ben Cross did a fairly decent job as Sarek. However, one of the things that stuck with me about Mark Lenard’s performance was his ability to have his feelings just beneath the surface and still be perfectly in control, and I just don’t think Ben Cross has that. Who knows, maybe he’ll prove me wrong in the sequel. I hope so.
Also, Mr. Orci, I don’t know if you’re allowed to tell us, but if you are…what do you think we can expect in the sequel?

Perfect casting choice! Cross has the presence, the voice and the look. He’ll make a fantastic Sarek!

I’m a longtime fan of Cross and Mark Lenard AND Sarek. So, perfect! I was telling a coworker about this and the more I told her the more excited I got and – um – I choked up a little LOL. Embarassing, but it felt good to have something to look forward to so much.

Very talented actor from the roles I’ve seen him in. Underrated is a word that comes to mind.
As with most of the other casting, I suspect he’ll be fine.
I maintain my reservations about Karl Urban as McCoy. I just let the rumor of Gary Sinise take away all reason.

Give the man a chance?

Well, it doesn’t look like we even have an option there, now does it?

He’s got his chance, now let’s see what he does with it!

Hey, I think maybe Simon Peg is appropriate. I just watched a couple of TOS episodes (for the first time) like yesterday, and noticed that Scotty is indeed a bit of the comic relief for the show. Not slap stick for sure, but just his manurisms, etc. I think Peg will work fine. I liked him Shaun of The Dead, but I also liked him in MI:III. If he can pull of both of these well, then maybe, he can pull of trek. Give the man a chance laddy.

Ben Cross IS Sarek..perfect choice!
And, the Space:1999 episode “Black Sun” depicts meeting God without a joke thrown in at the moment of maximum drama, as done in STV.
