Cast the Characters of Trek Literature

Does this just have to be current actors/personalities or can it be ones that are older or are gone now as well?

EDIT: Crap. Just realized, I resurrected an older thread. Sorry, Mods! *walks away quietly with sheepish embarrassment on the ol' face*

 

Actually, since this is a sticky I don't think it counts as reviving an old thread.

As for you're question, this all fantasy casting being done for fun, so I don't think it matters. Cast away.

 

^ Yeah, it's all casting of characters highly unlikely to be televised. That's especially the case with casting characters in fan-fiction. For example, two of my fan-fiction are "played" by actresses as they appeared when they went into acting, but are now near or past 40 years old.

 

For Naraht and K's't'lk I would cast Nick Frost and Jessica Hynes respectively, if only because of their association with nuScotty, Simon Pegg...

 

Dr. Hugh Cambridge: Hugh Laurie. I've never watched House, but from the moment I started reading Cambridge's lines, Laurie was my image of him.

 

He was also in the Kirsten Beyer's head . She has mentioned this in various interviews as well as right here at the trekBBS

 

Hah! Maybe I should look videos of him up on YouTube to get a feel for the voice...

 

Good call. It should make it that much better

 

Hugh Laurie's brief appearance on "Friends". Not as recognizable without the five o'clock shadow. I caught the ending credits of that episode of "Friends" and saw "Hugh Laurie as Gentleman on Plane." I couldn't picture him, but sure enough once I found that clip.

 

I wondered out loud in the Photoshop thread if anyone could put Laurie inside a DS9-era sciences uniform, and J. Allen came through.

 

Isn't his head kind of tiny there?

 

Well, he is a shrink.

I did a little drawing of him. I hope I've captured Laurie good enough

 

I like it. Do you have other Trek Lit characters?

Oh, yeah. I remember those now.

 

Typhon Pact: Zero Sum Game

Julian Bashir: Alexander Siddig
Sarina Douglas: Faith Salie
Captain Ezri Dax: Nicole deBoer
Commander Sam Bowers: Roger Cross
Lieutenant Lonnoc Kedair: Lena Headey
Lt. Com. Gruhn Helkara: ?
Lieutenant Mikaela Leishman: ?
Dr. Simon Tarses: Spencer Garrett
Nar: Rachel Nichols
L'Haan: From her roles in The OC and now in Nikita, I picture Melinda Clarke in this role
President Nan Bacco: Jacqueline Brookes

 

OMG I love Melinda Clarke as L'Hann. I've been a big fan of her since I first saw her as Lady Heather on CSI.

 

I'm fairly certain L'Haan is supposed to be black, actually. I usually picture Gina Torres.

Hm. I'm not very familiar with her work -- does she have that sharp, biting wit that Bacco is supposed to have?
