Some of us Americans love Eric Bana, I’m one of them and I would hope he uses his natural accent in his role on Star Trek. I have no doubts of his abilities and even though I like him as a good guy, the fact he can play both good and bad is proof of his talent. I can’t wait to see his performance. So Munken be kind to those of us who love Aussie stars and films outside Hollywood.

Bana is a damn fine actor, you americans who are basing your opinions of him on Hulk have really gotta go find & watch Chopper. And believe it or not there are many thiving film industries outside the US making better movies than Hollywood f ormulated box office shlop. and of course he’ll be using an american accent otherwise they all feel too threatened.

I was amused when I saw him briefly when we had the AFI awards on (I think he was presenting an award at the time). I saw him and said “Hey, he’s supposted to be in America shooting Star Trek!”

*idly wonders if he’ll put on an American accent for Trek*

Bana seems really boring, an average actor at best and registers zero on the charisma metre…..and what’s this crap about winning the Australian Best Actor Award?

How many other guys did he have to beat out for this distinction? Maybe two? Wow, what an accomplishment!!

As a followup, here’s a link to the photo gallery at Marj Dusay’s website:

I’ve seen that video before, and I’m absolutely convinced that’s our brain thief, Marj Dusay. That particular cred doesn’t show up at IMDB, though.

Let’s hope Eric can rise above F. Murray! He really hammed it up on Trek IX. Of course, I’m pretty confident he can, but I’m still crossing my fingers.

Eric Bana will prove to be a good thing for star trek. Star Trek has always beenm good at finding the slightly lesser known (at least by the average audience memer) but briliant actors. For example look at F. Murry Abraham. He was fantastic in Amadaus (for those who haven’t seen it watch it at least once, it is really good), and did a comendable job on star trek. I think Bana will do the same. Is it actually possible that Star Trek could be up for some acting awards. It should have been in the Emmy department for TNG (Stewart or spiner. Spiner is the best actor I know, hands down. He played Data, Lore, Soong, everybody on the western holideck program).

Absolutely and completely off-topic, please forgive, but this is pretty interesting:

A film made in 1967 about what life would be like in 1999, and surprisingly accurate in it’s basic concept:

I noticed one of the comments below the video asked if the lady in the film was in the TOS episode “Spock’s Brain.” Anyone know?
